Dingzhi Dental is a private specialist center in Shanghai. It operates four branches across the city. The international flagship at Huaihai Middle Road focuses on complex implantology and full-arch dental rehabilitation. The medical team of 11 specialists treats patients from around the world, particularly from the United States.
Specialist Team and Innovations
The clinic's senior team includes co-inventors of the VIIV implant system. Dr. Li Qiang leads the Complex Implant Center. He is an ICOI Fellow and certified lecturer for several major implant brands. Dr. Gao Zhenhua founded the China VIIV Zygomatic-Pterygoid Master Class. Both specialists focus on cases where bone loss makes conventional implants difficult.
Physicians have trained at recognized international institutions:
- UCLA
- Goethe University Frankfurt
- University of Lisbon
- Loma Linda University
Many doctors also teach implant training programs for Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Dentsply Sirona (ANKYLOS).
Dental Implantology and Full-Arch Restoration
Dingzhi Dental specializes in restorative protocols for edentulous patients. The clinic uses All-on-4 and All-on-6 methods for full-arch stability. These procedures often allow immediate-load temporary teeth within the same week.
Specialized implant options include:
- Zygomatic All-on-6 implants for severe bone loss
- VIIV pterygoid anchoring systems
- Minimally invasive immediate implants
- Revision surgery for failed previous implants
For standard procedures, the clinic uses certified titanium systems from Straumann and Nobel Biocare. Restorations are made from monolithic zirconia or ceramic materials. Single-implant plans include the titanium fixture, abutment, and an all-ceramic crown.
Aesthetic Dentistry and General Care
The center offers digital smile design for aesthetic improvements. Specialists create a digital preview of results before any tooth preparation begins. This approach works well for porcelain veneers made from E.max lithium disilicate. These restorations bond to teeth with minimal preparation, so healthy structure stays intact.
Restorative care may combine multiple disciplines:
- Crowns and bridges
- Root canal therapy
- Periodontal treatment for gum disease
- Maxillary sinus lateral lift and bone augmentation
The clinic also has a dedicated children's branch for pediatric oral health and aesthetic orthodontics.
International Patient Services
The clinic supports patients traveling to Shanghai through a specialized workflow. International cases start with a remote review of X-rays or photos. A specialist then returns a personalized plan and estimate within one business day.
English-speaking coordinators at the flagship location handle scheduling from first contact through arrival. Treatment is planned around the patient's travel schedule. This often allows implant placement and temporary teeth in a single trip. After returning home, patients receive written aftercare instructions for long-term follow-up. The clinic also helps with hotel arrangements and local translation.
