The number of other cases such as oral tumors, maxillofacial trauma, salivary gland disease and temporomandibular joint disease has also been steadily growing year by year.

Devision of Prosthodontic department

Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry that pertains to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of oral function, comfort, appearance, and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth, and/or maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes. These can be accomplished by the treatments of fixed or removable dentures.

Devision of Endodontic department

Endodontic procedures include every treatment involving the inner tissues of the teeth, otherwise known as the pulp or nerve. The word “endodontic” is derived from two stems: “endo,” meaning inside, and “odont,” meaning tooth. Endodontic procedures are usually performed to clean out infection and save the tooth. If your pulp or root canal is infected, endodontic procedures are the best way to save your tooth from extraction.

Devision of periodontal department

The main task of the periodontology department is to engage in the prevention and treatment of full mouth periodontal disease, with the goal of improving oral health, esthetics and functional reconstruction.
Periodontal clinical diagnosis and treatment services mainly include: dental calculus removal, non-surgical and surgical treatment of periodontal diseases, laser treatment and application, periodontal regeneration, soft tissue transplantation, dental implant reconstruction.
Periodontal treatment is dedicated to solving the problems of periodontal diseases, including: gum inflammation (swelling, bleeding and pain), gum recession, periodontal abscess, root sensitivity, tooth mobility, and reconstruction with dental implants for patients with missing teeth.
