Dent Inn is a dental clinic located at 45a Julie Shartava Street in Tbilisi, Georgia, with over 11 years of professional experience delivering specialist-led dental care. The clinic operates with a focused team of certified dentists, each bringing specialist expertise to their respective discipline, supported by modern diagnostic technology including 3D computer imaging systems that enable precise, data-driven treatment planning. The clinic's small, experienced team structure ensures that patients receive consistent, personalized attention from the same specialists throughout their treatment course.
Georgia's growing dental tourism sector benefits from clinics like Dent Inn that offer specialist expertise at costs substantially below those in Western European markets. Tbilisi's combination of trained dental professionals, modern equipment, and accessible pricing makes it an increasingly popular destination for patients from across Europe, the Middle East, and the broader region who seek reliable dental care without the wait times or costs typical of their home countries.
Clinical Team
The team at Dent Inn includes four specialist practitioners. Dr. Ekaterine Rukhadze is an orthodontist who leads the clinic's orthodontic program, managing the diagnosis and treatment of misaligned teeth and bite disorders. Dr. Shota Rukhadze is a maxillofacial surgeon, providing the surgical expertise for implant placement, complex extractions, oral surgical procedures, and maxillofacial interventions. Rounding out the team are two dental therapists -- Dr. Tamar Shatirishvili and Dr. Mariam Goletiani -- who handle restorative and therapeutic cases including cavity treatment, root canal therapy, and preventive care.
This configuration of specialists covers the most commonly needed areas of dental treatment -- therapeutic care, orthodontics, and surgical implantology -- allowing the clinic to manage a broad range of patient needs without external referrals. The presence of a maxillofacial surgeon on the team is a particular asset, enabling the clinic to handle complex surgical implant procedures and difficult oral surgery cases that are beyond the scope of a general dental practice.
3D Computer Imaging
Dent Inn's 3D computer imaging capability is a foundation of its diagnostic and treatment planning workflow. Three-dimensional cone beam CT scanning (CBCT) provides a comprehensive view of the teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and anatomical structures in all planes -- information that two-dimensional X-rays cannot fully capture. For implant surgery, 3D imaging is essential: it allows the surgical team to assess available bone volume and quality, identify the precise location of nerves and sinuses, and plan implant placement to maximize safety, function, and longevity. In orthodontics, CBCT supports a more complete assessment of jaw relationships, tooth root positions, and skeletal development than conventional panoramic X-rays provide. The investment in 3D imaging reflects the clinic's commitment to precision-based dentistry where treatment decisions are grounded in the most accurate diagnostic data available.
Implantology
Dental implants are a primary service at Dent Inn, carried out by Dr. Shota Rukhadze with the benefit of 3D imaging-guided surgical planning. Implants provide a permanent, fixed replacement for missing teeth, anchored in the jawbone and topped with a custom crown or prosthesis. The implant process begins with a thorough assessment using 3D imaging to map the available bone and identify the optimal placement path. The titanium implant fixture is then placed surgically, allowed to integrate with the bone through osseointegration, and subsequently restored with a permanent crown. For patients requiring multiple implants or full-arch rehabilitation, the clinic can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that sequences each step appropriately.
Dr. Rukhadze's maxillofacial surgical background means the clinic can also manage preparatory procedures such as bone grafting and sinus augmentation for patients who have experienced bone loss and require additional volume before implant placement. These procedures expand the pool of patients for whom implants are a viable option.
Orthodontics
Dr. Ekaterine Rukhadze leads the orthodontic program, diagnosing and treating crowded, spaced, and misaligned teeth as well as bite problems (malocclusions) in patients of different ages. Orthodontic treatment at Dent Inn uses diagnostic data from standard and 3D imaging to create a thorough assessment of the patient's dental and skeletal structure before planning treatment. Fixed orthodontic appliances and removable systems are available, with the specific approach chosen based on the nature and severity of the misalignment. A well-planned orthodontic treatment plan not only improves the aesthetic appearance of the smile but also corrects the functional bite, reducing the risk of uneven wear, jaw joint strain, and cleaning difficulties associated with crowded teeth.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
The oral surgery department covers tooth extractions including simple and complex cases, wisdom tooth removal, and more involved maxillofacial surgical procedures. Dr. Shota Rukhadze's specialization in maxillofacial surgery means the clinic can address a range of surgical conditions beyond routine extractions, including jaw-related surgical needs that would require referral in a general dental practice. The surgical team maintains careful infection control and sterile working protocols, and the 3D imaging capability supports precise surgical planning for complex cases.
Therapeutic Dentistry
The two therapists on the team handle the core restorative and preventive dental work that underpins long-term oral health. Cavity treatment using tooth-colored composite fillings restores teeth that have been damaged by decay. Root canal treatment is performed when infection or inflammation has reached the inner pulp of the tooth, cleaning and sealing the canal system to eliminate the infection and preserve the natural tooth. Preventive care including professional cleaning, scaling, and polishing removes bacterial deposits that accumulate over time, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. Patients are given personalized oral hygiene guidance tailored to their specific dental situation and risk factors.
Located in Tbilisi's Julie Shartava Street area, Dent Inn serves patients from the surrounding neighborhood and from across the city. The clinic's combination of specialist-led care, advanced 3D diagnostic imaging, and over a decade of clinical experience provides a solid foundation for patients seeking reliable, precision-oriented dental treatment in Georgia's capital.
