According to official statistics, every year more and more citizens of Russia and other CIS countries prefer dental treatment in China. This is explained by high-quality medical care, the presence of a long-term guarantee for the services provided by specialists, as well as the affordable pricing policy of Chinese dental clinics. Even people with an average income can afford dental treatment in the territory of the PRC (People's Republic of China).
Directions of Chinese dentistry
The key thing that distinguishes dentistry in China is that it does not encourage tooth extraction. Doctors at local clinics try, whenever possible, to restore the natural health and beauty of the dental system, eliminating both congenital and acquired dental defects.
And only if this is impossible, specialists begin to remove the damaged tooth and replace it with prosthetics.
There is an extensive network of public and private dental medical institutions in the PRC. Their employees provide services in the following areas:
- Therapeutic dentistry: treatment of diseases of the oral mucosa, diseases of non-carious teeth, the fight against caries and its complications.
- Surgical dentistry: treatment of inflammatory diseases, operations to remove teeth and oral tumors, plastic surgery on the jaws, preparation for further dental prosthetics.
- Aesthetic dentistry: teeth building for cracks and chips, restoration of the shape and color of teeth, whitening, installation of lumineers, veneers and other overlays, decorating teeth with Swarovski stones and crystals.
- Orthopedic dentistry: installation of removable and fixed dentures.
- Periodontology: treatment of diseases of the periodontal tissues – periodontium.
- Orthodontics: elimination of dental anomalies, correction of bite by installing retainers, braces.
- Implantology: implantation of artificial implants into the dental bone.
- Pediatric dentistry: treatment of dental diseases in children of different ages.
When answering the question why it is better to treat teeth in China, it should be pointed out that a huge advantage of local clinics is the use of the latest equipment from Norway, Spain, the USA, France, Germany, and South Korea.
Among the employees of Chinese dental medical institutions are not only ordinary dental practitioners, but also scientists (including doctors of sciences). In their work they use modern materials, the quality of which meets international standards.
Chinese dental clinics provide a guarantee for services ranging from 2 to 20 years on average. Some medical institutions provide treatment on credit.
In many clinics you can pay for services not only in yuan, but also in foreign currency.
Diagnostic and preventive procedures
To diagnose diseases of the oral cavity in general and the dentition in particular, you should contact a dentist-therapist. A specialist of this profile will also perform:
- treatment of diseases of the oral mucosa (infectious, traumatic, symptomatic, specific stomatitis, glossitis, cheilitis);
- treatment of caries and its consequences – pulpitis, periodontitis, periostitis;
- treatment of diseases not related to caries - hypoplasia and fluorosis of enamel, increased sensitivity of teeth, necrosis of hard tissues and others.
In order to prevent dental diseases, it is necessary to visit a therapist at least once every 12 months.
For example, if you prefer dental treatment in Hunchun, for diagnosis and subsequent therapy it is recommended to contact one of the best hospitals in the city - the Xihe Clinic. The dental department of this institution provides a full range of services: from filling and tooth extraction to prosthetics and installation of implants. Xihe Hospital actively accepts Russian patients.
conclusions
It is profitable to have dental treatment in China, but only in reliable clinics that are well known to a wide range of people.
Prosthetics and treatment are carried out using the latest methods, which provide for the maximum possible preservation of tooth tissue and the use of neutral (low-toxic) filling materials.
A 10-20 year guarantee for fillings and dentures confirms the high qualifications of dentists, orthopedists, and dental technicians.

Installation of dentures and implants
One of the most serious dental problems is the complete destruction of teeth, as a result of which their restoration becomes impossible. In this case, it is necessary to use methods such as prosthetics and implantation.
The entire process in China will take several days, since the latest generation computer equipment will be used in the production of artificial teeth analogues.
For example, a dental clinic in Dalian called “Vienna” offers complete dental prosthetics within 4-7 days. Here, as in other Chinese medical institutions, you can order both removable and fixed dentures.
The patient can independently fix the removable structure in the oral cavity and, if necessary, remove it. Such dentures are suitable for those who have lost a large number of teeth.
Fixed dental prosthetics in China are recommended for patients who are missing one or more teeth. Such dentures are fixed by a doctor in the oral cavity and cannot be removed while being worn. The most popular permanent structures include crowns, bridges, inlays, veneers, and lumineers.
Cheaper than in Russia, and therefore widely in demand, is dental implantation in China. For a low price in this country, you can restore either one tooth or an entire row of teeth.
Unlike dentures, which are attached to adjacent teeth, implants are inserted into the gum using metal pins. When installing implants, there is no need to grind nearby healthy teeth (which is the main disadvantage of prosthetics).

Services of pediatric dentists
The most popular areas of pediatric dentistry are therapeutic, orthodontic and surgical.
Chinese doctors pay considerable attention to the treatment of dental diseases in young children. From their point of view, problems with baby teeth also require emergency intervention, because their condition is the foundation for the formation of permanent teeth and bite.
Baby teeth destroyed by caries and affected by infection can cause serious dental diseases in the future.
The best dental clinics in China that also accept child patients are You-Ai (Mercy) and Master Sun in Heihe, Svetlana and Vienna in Dalian, a dental hospital in Urumqi and others. These medical institutions use gentle techniques, the latest generation of anesthetic drugs that are safe for children with minimal allergenic effect.

The phone number of the official representative in Blagoveshchensk is 8 (914) 601-39-57 (manager Igor). Website of the Hospital of Chinese Medicine in Russia - https://zuby.chinastom.com
An employee, after receiving an application from a client to visit China, collects all the documents necessary for a trip to this country. After completing the necessary preparatory work, the company's clients make a planned trip to China. In Heihe, another manager meets them and takes them to a dental clinic in the city, a hotel, and, if desired, arranges an excursion program.
When traveling to China on your own for the purpose of dental treatment or prosthetics, it is especially not recommended to use the services of the Chinese at customs, who make money by supplying clients to small private dental offices . Not only will you have to pay a certain amount to the intermediary for the service he provides, but no one can guarantee the quality of treatment in such institutions and the future consequences.
Recommendations for choosing a dental clinic in China
For those who do not want to spend time independently preparing a trip to China for the purpose of dental treatment, so-called dental or dental tours, which are organized by many companies, have become popular. In order not to fall into the trap of scammers, first of all you should ask whether the intermediary has a license to provide travel services. An honest company will always be ready to present a document.
Having decided on a travel company, you need to study the dental tours offered to China for Russians. Find out whether a particular clinic has a license for dental treatment, what place it occupies in the ranking of similar medical institutions, how warranty cases are resolved within its walls (for example, whether you can count on reimbursement of money spent in the event of implant failure).
It also wouldn’t hurt to check out the information on the website of your favorite clinic about:
- the qualifications, professional experience and achievements of its doctors;
- technical equipment of dental offices;
- medications used;
- cost of services;
- availability of discounts and promotions for foreigners.
You should definitely read the reviews of patients who had the opportunity to go on dental tours to China. Based on the information received, you can make a rational choice in favor of one or another clinic.
Orthodontics in China
Patients who come to China to correct dental defects should carefully consider the tactics of communicating with specialists.
As the position of the teeth is corrected, the fixation of the braces is adjusted, and therefore visits to the orthodontist should be carried out regularly (approximately once a month). The doctor observes his patient for a long period of time - 2-3 years .
Not all residents of Russia have the opportunity to travel to China so often (and regularly), therefore, in this case, it is advisable to use the services of domestic specialists.
What documents are needed for the trip?
To go to China for dental treatment, you will need to prepare a package of documents:
- medical visa to China S1 (over 180 days) or S2 (up to 180 days);
- an invitation from a medical institution containing information about the clinic, the patient’s passport data, the time frame and purpose of the trip, the signature of the director and the seal of the organization;
- original and copy of foreign passport;
- original and copy of internal passport;
- a certificate from the place of work with the amount of wages for the month;
- certificate of bank account status.
If a child requires dental treatment in Manchuria or another region of China, he will need his foreign passport (if not available, a birth certificate and a photo of the child pasted into the foreign passport of the parent with whom he is traveling).
If the minor will travel only with his father or mother, the other parent must give written consent to take the child abroad and have this document certified by a notary.
Patient reviews
We invite you to read the reviews of those who decided to choose Chinese dentistry over Russian dentistry.
Semyon, 56 years old, Khabarovsk
“From personal experience I can say: The First Dental Clinic in Heihe is the best Chinese medical institution. Two years ago I went there for treatment of periodontal disease, which I could not get rid of in my home country for more than 10 years. The doctor used a laser to remove tartar and plaque, prescribed antibiotics, and installed implants in place of the lost teeth. The procedures were absolutely painless, and most importantly, they cost three times less than in Russia. A nice bonus is that everything comes with a 10-year warranty. If you decide to get implants, I advise you to go to Heihe.”
Tamila, 62 years old, Vladivostok
“For a long time I wanted to change the denture to the lower jaw, since the previous one had become unusable. I inquired about the prices in dental clinics in my city and was horrified: I wouldn’t be able to collect that amount in the near future. My daughter suggested going to China for treatment. I went to the official website of the Svetlana clinic in Dalian, studied the prices, and paid for a dental tour to this hospital for me. My prosthesis was ready within 3 days - I couldn’t even dream of such a pace!”
Karina, 32 years old
I was treated for deep caries at the Urumqi State Hospital. Repairing each tooth cost 595 rubles. They gave me a discount as a foreign patient, for which special thanks! All seals are provided with a 6-year warranty, which is confirmed by a warranty certificate. I can say with confidence that dentistry in Urumqi is a symbiosis of high quality, professional approach and affordable cost.
