Computer-guided All-on-4 dental implants in DDS Dental Care

DDS Dental Care is a private dental clinic established in 1999 in Shanghai. The clinic operates four branches across the city in the Xuhui, Qingpu, Pudong, and Minhang districts. Founded by Dr. William Xu, it serves both local and international residents. The facility is a dental training site for the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Stomatology. This partnership means clinic staff also work as instructors for medical students.

Academic Standards and Global Expertise

The medical team consists of 12 doctors who follow North American and European standards. Many specialists hold Fellowship status at the International College of Dentists (ICD). Staff includes graduates from the University of Sheffield, University of Hong Kong, and University of Pennsylvania.

Dental Specialties and Aesthetic Solutions

The clinic focuses on aesthetic dentistry, restorative care, and orthodontics. Specialists treat children and adolescents, including early orthodontic correction. Restorative dentistry uses digital planning for crowns and bridges to ensure precise fitting. For periodontal health, surgeons perform gum excision and regeneration to correct "gummy smile."

Orthodontic treatments include several invisible and fixed options:

• Invisalign clear aligners
• Angelalign and Smartee systems
• E-motion aligners
• Fixed braces and removable retainers

Implantology services cover complex reconstructions using systems from Straumann, MIS, and iEZ. The surgical team performs bone augmentation, sinus lifts, and guided tissue regeneration. These procedures help patients who lack sufficient bone density for standard implants. The clinic also offers All-on-4 and All-on-6 full-arch restorations, including same-day and computer-guided options.

Diagnostic and Surgical Technology

DDS Dental Care uses digital tools to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. 3Shape CAD/CAM technology handles digital prosthetic design. For root canals, specialists use Zumax microscopes to visualize tiny structures inside the tooth that are invisible to the naked eye.

The clinic maintains diagnostic and specialized surgical equipment:

• DIAGNOCam for early detection of tooth decay without X-rays
• Cerec Omnicam for high-speed digital scanning and 3D modeling
• Panoramic and periapical X-ray systems
• EMS and Woodpecker ultrasonic bone cutting devices

Ultrasonic bone cutting helps surgeons perform extractions and bone grafting with less trauma to soft tissue. This technology uses high-frequency vibrations to cut bone while sparing nerves and blood vessels.

International Patient Services

The clinic has a multilingual team that provides services in English and Mandarin. To help international patients with finances, the clinic works with over 20 direct billing partners. These partnerships make it easier to process insurance coverage for dental treatments. All branches operate seven days a week to fit different schedules.
