About the clinic

Huainan Zhoutao Dental has two clinics in the city. The Shannan clinic opened in 2024 at Gemdale Central Meiyu in Shannan New District, with about 300 square metres and 5 dental chairs. The Datong clinic is in the Jinfeng Yiju commercial area of Datong District, with about 120 square metres and 4 dental chairs. Together the two clinics have about 420 square metres and 9 dental chairs and the same lead dental team; patient records are shared between them, so patients can return to whichever clinic is closer.

The brand was founded in 2011 and has been operating in Huainan for 15 years. It is a dentist-run clinic, and the lead dentist is also the person in charge. It is a designated medical insurance provider, and medical insurance can be used for settlement. The Shannan clinic serves residents of Shannan New District and the surrounding area. It has more space, with a dedicated implant room, sterilisation room, orthodontic room and cartoon-themed children's treatment room.

The dental team consists of two attending dentists and one dentist: Zhou Tao (attending dentist, clinic director, 20 years of practice, focusing on orthodontics and implants; certified clinician for the Straumann (Switzerland) and Anthogyr (France) implant systems, with specific certification in sinus lift techniques); Zeng Xianfang (attending dentist, deputy director, 15 years of practice, focusing on orthodontics, root canal treatment, composite fillings and aesthetic restorations, and responsible for clinical management at the Shannan clinic); and Zheng Hao (dentist, endodontics and oral surgery, focusing on minimally invasive extraction, root canal treatment and aesthetic composite fillings).

The clinic's public information shows that it has a Meyer CBCT, Shining 3D intraoral scanner, Woodpecker piezosurgery unit and implant motor. Cases are handled according to complexity: routine treatments are handled routinely, while complex cases requiring bone grafting, sinus lift, half-arch or full-arch work, or difficult revision restorations are assessed by a certified attending dentist before a plan is drawn up. Cases beyond the clinic's scope are explained honestly and referred to a higher-level medical institution.

Service commitments: the full total fee is stated in one go before treatment, with no hidden charges, no pressure selling and no mid-treatment price increases. Fillings that fall out within six months are redone free of charge. Follow-up and return-visit reminders are arranged after treatment, and patients can return to either clinic. Orthodontic treatment can be paid in instalments, subject to an in-person consultation. This page does not include prices or treatment outcomes.
