Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University

Hospital Overview

1997
University-Affiliated Dental Hospital
Grade III Class A
Guangzhou, Guangdong
The Hospital of Stomatology at Sun Yat-sen University is a university-affiliated dental hospital covering the major clinical branches of oral healthcare. Its work extends well beyond general dentistry. Patients can access specialists in endodontics, periodontology, prosthodontics and implants, orthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Bringing these fields together is useful when a problem involves the jaw, bite, gums and teeth at the same time, or when treatment must take place in stages.
The Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University, also known as Guanghua School of Stomatology’s affiliated hospital, is a tertiary specialist dental and oral hospital. Its current introduction describes 14 clinical departments and eight national key clinical specialties across oral medicine. Patients may come for ordinary dentistry, but its distinguishing capabilities are especially relevant to complex orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, dental restoration and specialist periodontal or endodontic care.
The Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (Guanghua School of Stomatology) currently has two operational main campuses, namely the Yuexiu Campus and the Tianhe Campus, plus two outpatient clinics: Dongpu Clinic and Zhujiang New Town Clinic, while the Nansha Campus is still under construction.

Clinical Strengths

Complex oral and maxillofacial conditions

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons assess conditions such as jaw lesions, tumours of the mouth or facial region, traumatic injuries and problems requiring reconstruction. Imaging and pathology may be needed to establish the diagnosis before surgery is discussed. Some cases also require restorative dentistry or another specialty to plan function after treatment.

Dental implants, restoration and gum disease

For people with missing teeth, periodontal damage or loss of oral function, treatment may begin with management of gum disease and assessment of the available bone. Implant surgery and the final restoration, if appropriate, follow as separate stages. Patients should expect a plan based on their oral health rather than assume that all work can be completed in one visit.

Orthodontics and bite problems

Orthodontists investigate crowded teeth, malocclusion and the relationship between the upper and lower jaws. When the problem is largely skeletal rather than dental, orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery may need to plan treatment jointly, including the correct order of the different procedures.

Clinical practice and treatment decisions

Complex jaw and facial conditions illustrate why the subspecialty structure matters. The official oral and maxillofacial surgery department describes work in head-and-neck tumours, craniomaxillofacial reconstruction, trauma and temporomandibular-joint disease. A patient with a jaw lesion or facial injury may need imaging, tissue diagnosis, surgical planning and rehabilitation, not just dental treatment. Orthodontic teams, meanwhile, describe care for difficult bite and jaw relationships, including cases that may require coordination with surgeons.

Facilities & Technology

  • Dental imaging and digital planning: Oral imaging and digital diagnostic tools help clinicians examine the teeth and jaw, assess bone conditions and plan selected orthodontic, implant or surgical procedures.
  • Surgery and staged restorative treatment: Specialist operating and restorative facilities support staged oral care, from infection control and periodontal treatment through surgery to reconstruction or rehabilitation over several visits.
  • Facilities in clinical use: The hospital describes specialist dental chairs, oral surgery wards and subdepartment facilities. In oral care, the “technology” question is often about choosing the right clinical workflow—three-dimensional planning, restorative design, orthodontic assessment or maxillofacial reconstruction—rather than selecting a machine by brand. Its academic setting also provides a research and training base, though research advances should not be treated as routine procedures offered to every patient.

International Patient Services

The hospital is included in Guangdong’s international medical pilot programme, but the public sources reviewed here do not confirm a universal international package, English-language consent service or insurance direct billing. Overseas patients should request a condition-specific assessment and ask whether the relevant department can review existing scans, dental photographs or treatment plans before travel. Multi-visit dental care may require a longer stay than a single consultation.

Featured Doctors

Prof. Hou Jinsong

Oral and maxillofacial surgery

The department identifies Professor Hou as its current head and a senior specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

These are selected clinicians identified in public institutional profiles, not a live appointment or employment-status check. Their involvement in a particular case must be confirmed through the hospital.
