Areola Reduction Surgery

乳晕缩小术

Areola reduction surgery decreases the diameter of overly large areolae to achieve better proportion with the breast, commonly requested after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. Chinese plastic surgeons perform this procedure using the purse-string or concentric circle technique for precise size control. It can be done as a standalone procedure or combined with breast augmentation or lift.

Dental Sealants

牙齿窝沟封闭

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent cavity formation in the deep grooves and pits. Chinese pediatric dental clinics widely recommend sealants as a cost-effective preventive measure, particularly for children aged 6-12. The procedure is painless, quick, and can reduce cavity risk by up to 80%.

Dental Inlay/Onlay

牙齿嵌体修复

Dental inlays and onlays are custom-fabricated indirect restorations that repair moderately damaged teeth when a filling is insufficient but a full crown is unnecessary. Chinese dental clinics offer both porcelain and zirconia inlays/onlays crafted with CAD/CAM technology for precise fit and natural aesthetics. These restorations preserve more natural tooth structure than crowns while providing superior durability to direct fillings.

Gum Contouring

牙龈修整术

Gum contouring (gingivectomy) reshapes the gum line to correct a gummy smile or uneven gum levels, revealing more tooth structure for improved aesthetics. Chinese dental clinics use advanced diode or Er:YAG lasers for precise, minimally invasive gum sculpting with faster healing than traditional scalpel methods. This procedure dramatically enhances smile symmetry and tooth-to-gum proportions.

Tooth Extraction (Complex)

复杂拔牙

Complex tooth extraction involves the surgical removal of teeth that cannot be easily accessed due to impaction, curved roots, proximity to nerves, or extensive decay. Chinese oral surgeons perform thousands of complex extractions annually with precision techniques including sectioning, bone removal, and flap elevation. Advanced imaging with CBCT ensures safe extraction even near critical structures like the inferior alveolar nerve.

A pulpotomy is a pediatric dental procedure that removes infected pulp tissue from the crown of a primary (baby) tooth while preserving the healthy root pulp, saving the tooth until natural exfoliation. Chinese pediatric dental clinics are well-equipped with child-friendly environments and sedation options to ensure comfortable treatment. This procedure prevents premature tooth loss that could affect permanent tooth alignment.
