The Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University, delivers high-end oral healthcare through its International Dental Medical Center in Guangzhou. The institution's academic roots date to 1908. It functions as a university-affiliated hospital and a key base for stomatological research in Guangdong Province. The clinic runs four branches across the city, including locations in Tianhe and Yuexiu.

Clinical Achievements and Research

The hospital operates as a national innovation base with a strong clinical presence. It covers all eight national key clinical specialties in stomatology. Several research platforms support clinical excellence:

• National Institution for Drug Clinical Trial (GCP)

These resources help the medical team bring research-driven methods into daily patient care.

Dental Specialties and Advanced Procedures

The International Dental Medical Center offers multidisciplinary consultations for complex cases. Specialists work across five areas: Endodontics, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, and Dental Implantology.

Complex Dental Implantology

Surgeons perform advanced implant procedures for patients with significant bone loss. This includes zygomatic and pterygoid implant placement combined with bone augmentation. The center also uses robot-assisted implantation for greater accuracy in high-complexity cases.

Periodontal Therapy and Regeneration

The periodontics department focuses on tissue healing and regeneration. Specialists treat severe gum disease using several methods:

• Laser-assisted periodontal therapy
• Periodontal soft and hard tissue regeneration
• Periodontal endoscopy for visual cleaning inside deep pockets

3D imaging and digital periodontal probes support personalized treatment planning.

Digital Dentistry and Preventive Care

The clinic uses CAD/CAM technology for restorative work. The workflow includes 3D scanning and printing to create all-ceramic restorations. Cerec Omnicam systems generate digital diagnostic models, so crowns and bridges fit precisely.

A digital oral health platform manages preventive dentistry. This system uses AI algorithms to assess individual risks for cavities and gum disease. Based on these results, the team provides targeted fluoride applications and personalized sealant programs.

Patient Comfort and Pediatric Care

Comfort-focused treatment is a priority for patients with dental anxiety. The clinic offers nitrous oxide sedation for long procedures or nervous patients. Dedicated pediatric dentistry creates a welcoming environment for children.

International Patient Services

The International Dental Medical Center provides full support for cross-border patients. Appointments are required. The clinic offers exclusive weekend hours for working professionals. A multilingual clinical team provides bilingual support during consultations.

Direct billing agreements with major international insurers help patients avoid complex reimbursement processes. The center coordinates care across the full treatment cycle – from the initial appointment to follow-up.
