A year and a half ago, a new private dental clinic, TopProfi, opened in Chita. Its founder and chief dentist, Ekaterina Vasilyeva, specializes in aesthetic, therapeutic, orthopedic, and surgical dentistry.
For her, it was important to open her own clinic in Chita to convey one simple idea to the citizens: dental problems directly affect the condition of the entire body. This is not a separate issue, but part of overall health and well-being. Therefore, prevention and proper care should become mandatory.
What issues do Transbaikal residents most often come here with, what modern techniques are used in their work, and why prices here are much lower than in many clinics—answered below.
“We go to the doctor when it«s already too late”
Ekaterina and her team repeat this phrase almost every day.
— We try to explain to patients that the result of treatment largely depends on them. If they follow the doctor«s recommendations, come for regular check-ups, and take proper care of their teeth, their health will be preserved for years.
Many Transbaikal residents sit in the dental chair only when something already hurts. According to the dentists« experience, there are cases when people haven»t been to a doctor for 5 or 10 years, and afterwards they receive extensive treatment, fears, and substantial sums on the bill.
— The basis of our philosophy is prevention. After all, dentistry is indeed not cheap, especially when it comes to restoring what could once have been preserved. It is also important to consider that not everyone can afford a full course of treatment, so a planned, gradual approach, regular check-ups, and timely intervention are so important.
Over 15 years of work, Ekaterina has had patients whom she treated 10 years ago, and with them, everything is still in order because they come for regular appointments and follow all recommendations.
— This is the best indicator that dental health prevention works. We teach patients to take care of themselves. We conduct hygiene lessons, select individual care products: brushes, toothpastes, irrigators. We explain how and why to use them. We work not for profit, but for people. We constantly learn, develop, and improve quality.
How to maintain dental health
At TopProfi, they advise first and foremost to individually select home care.
— We give patients life hacks for home teeth cleaning, as it is precisely from plaque that many diseases begin: cavities, gum problems. And, of course, we recommend starting to treat teeth at early stages—it will be cheaper.
Additionally, TopProfi is implementing a program based on artificial intelligence that analyzes the condition of the oral cavity with the calculation of a hygiene index. It compiles personal recommendations for home hygiene. After completing it, the patient receives a card that describes the condition of their oral cavity and schedules all planned visits to the dentist.
Doctors at the clinic can also select the proper care after professional teeth cleaning or if the patient comes for a “Health Lesson.” During it, the specialist considers all nuances: the degree of brush hardness, toothpaste and its composition, selection of additional means and hygiene items.
— We also conducted classes for pregnant women on infant oral care, and at “Mrs. Chita” we gave a large lecture for participants. We plan to organize similar meetings for Chita residents in the future, but we are still considering the appropriate format and venue.
What equipment is used in the clinic
Here they use both familiar devices and more modern ones, including:
a device for professional whitening;
a 3D scanner for diagnostics and making precise jaw impressions;
a condylograph device—a high-precision instrument for diagnosing the condition of the TMJ;
instruments and equipment for treatment, surgery, orthopedics.
Treating teeth at TopProfi is profitable and convenient
For clinic patients, a bonus program has been developed, with which the patient can:
accumulate bonuses and use them for services;
book appointments and ask questions;
receive appointment reminders and control the visit schedule;
recommend the clinic (for which gifts are given);
write reviews.
Additionally, a 10% discount on treatment is available for pensioners, participants of the SVO, and employees of Russian Railways.
Currently, the plans at TopProfi are to develop treatment for temporomandibular joint dysfunction and train young doctors.
— I want to work with students and beginning specialists, help them think broader, understand the profession more deeply, and see dentistry as a system, not a set of manipulations.
