Dingzhi Dental is a private dental specialist center in Shanghai, China. It focuses on complex implant dentistry, full-arch restorations, and cosmetic treatments. A separate branch, Dingding Kids Dental, handles pediatric care. What sets the clinic apart is the VIIV implant system for severe bone loss. This system anchors implants directly into the zygoma and pterygoid bones. The medical team includes VIIV co-inventors Dr. Li Qiang and Dr. Gao Zhenhua.
Dingzhi Dental runs four locations across Shanghai. The Huaihai Middle Road site is its flagship. Doctors use certified implant systems from Straumann and Nobel Biocare. They also hold certifications for the Dentsply Sirona ANKYLOS system. Most international patients travel here from the United States.
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:
Many doctors also teach implant training programs for Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Dentsply Sirona (ANKYLOS).
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:
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.
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:
The clinic also has a dedicated children's branch for pediatric oral health and aesthetic orthodontics.
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.
