Dental Stomus

Dental Stomus is a multidisciplinary dental clinic located at 64 Zakaria Paliashvili Street in Tbilisi, Georgia, with over 22 years of experience delivering comprehensive dental care. Operating under the motto "one more reason to smile," the clinic has assembled a team of eight dental professionals spanning orthodontics, periodontics, therapeutic dentistry, oral surgery, orthopedics, and pediatric care -- offering patients access to specialist-level treatment across all major dental disciplines from a single Tbilisi practice.

Dental Stomus holds official Invisalign provider status, making it part of a globally recognized network of certified clear aligner practitioners trained and certified by Align Technology, the company behind the Invisalign system. This certification distinguishes the clinic's orthodontic offering and reflects the team's investment in training and clinical standard-setting. The clinic uses a suite of modern diagnostic technology including panoramic X-rays, cephalometric (CEPH) radiography, and digital X-ray systems to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning across all departments.

Clinical Team

The clinic is led by two experienced clinician-CEOs. Dr. Tamar Khizanishvili is an orthodontist and co-CEO who oversees the clear aligner and braces programs. Dr. Maia Eradze is a therapist, dental surgeon, and periodontologist who co-leads the practice and manages complex restorative and gum disease cases. Other team members include Dr. Irakli Shushania (orthopedist and dental surgeon), Dr. Salome Dondoladze (orthodontist), Dr. Lela Baramidze (orthopedist, dental surgeon, and periodontologist), and Dr. Rusudan Avgrozashvili (therapist), supported by Dr. Tako Makharadze (junior doctor) and Dali Katsanashvili (sterilization nurse and clinical assistant).

This depth of specialist coverage within a single practice allows Dental Stomus to manage complex, multi-stage treatment plans internally, coordinating care across departments without referring patients elsewhere for specialist procedures.

Orthodontics and Invisalign

Orthodontics is one of the clinic's signature strengths, supported by the expertise of two dedicated orthodontists and the clinic's status as an official Invisalign provider. Invisalign uses a series of custom-fabricated, removable clear aligners to progressively straighten teeth without the use of fixed metal brackets or wires. Each aligner in the series is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next, with treatment duration depending on the complexity of the case. Invisalign is particularly popular among adult patients who prefer a discreet treatment option, and the clinic's official provider status ensures that treatment is planned and monitored by practitioners with specific Invisalign training and clinical experience.

For patients who are better suited to traditional fixed orthodontic appliances, the team also provides conventional braces and other orthodontic systems. The diagnostic combination of panoramic radiography and cephalometric analysis supports thorough orthodontic assessment, enabling the team to evaluate jaw relationships, growth patterns, and tooth positions in detail before planning treatment.

Implantology and Oral Surgery

Implant dentistry and oral surgery are delivered by the clinic's orthopedic and surgical team, including Dr. Shushania and Dr. Baramidze. Dental implants provide a permanent, fixed replacement for missing teeth, using titanium fixtures that integrate with the jawbone to support custom crowns, bridges, or full-arch prostheses. The clinic's digital imaging capabilities, including cone beam and panoramic X-rays, support precise pre-surgical planning, ensuring that implant placement is optimally positioned for function and aesthetics. Bone grafting and other preparatory procedures are available where needed to create an adequate bone foundation before implant placement.

Oral surgical services include extractions of broken-down, damaged, or impacted teeth, as well as more complex procedures requiring careful surgical management. The team's periodontology expertise also extends to surgical periodontal treatment, including flap surgery and regenerative procedures for patients with advanced gum disease.

Periodontology

With two periodontology-trained clinicians on staff (Dr. Eradze and Dr. Baramidze), Dental Stomus offers specialist-grade management of gum disease and the supporting structures of the teeth. Non-surgical treatment including professional scaling, root planing, and the VECTOR system protocol is used for early to moderate periodontitis. More advanced cases are addressed with surgical intervention, including flap procedures that allow the clinician to access and clean deposits below the gum line that cannot be reached non-surgically. Periodontal health is a prerequisite for successful implant placement and long-lasting cosmetic work, and the team's expertise in this area strengthens the overall clinical outcomes the clinic can achieve.

Aesthetic and Cosmetic Dentistry

The aesthetic dentistry program addresses the full range of cosmetic concerns through veneers, composite bonding, and professional teeth whitening. The clinic's approach to aesthetic treatment is guided by careful assessment of the patient's individual tooth characteristics, facial proportions, and aesthetic goals, with the aim of producing results that enhance the natural smile rather than creating an artificial or uniform appearance. Cosmetic treatment is often combined with orthodontic or periodontal preparation to achieve the optimal gum line and tooth alignment before finalizing the aesthetic restoration.

Therapeutic and Restorative Dentistry

The therapeutic department handles the core restorative work that maintains dental function over time. Decay is detected early through routine examination and digital radiography, and treated with composite fillings that match the natural tooth color. Endodontic treatment (root canals) preserves teeth with infected or inflamed pulp, removing the pathological tissue and sealing the canal system. After root canal treatment, the tooth is typically restored with a crown to protect it from the increased risk of fracture. The team uses digital radiography throughout the restorative and endodontic workflow to support accurate diagnosis and treatment monitoring.

Pediatric Dentistry

Children's dental care at Dental Stomus is provided in a supportive environment that prioritizes making young patients feel safe and comfortable. Preventive services including sealants, fluoride applications, and dietary counseling form the basis of pediatric dental care, supplemented by restorative treatment for cavities and early orthodontic assessment to identify developing alignment concerns. Early positive dental experiences have a lasting effect on children's attitudes toward dental care, and the team is attentive to creating a calm and reassuring atmosphere for younger patients.

With more than two decades of practice, official Invisalign certification, a full multidisciplinary team, advanced diagnostic imaging, and a reputation built in one of Tbilisi's central residential neighborhoods, Dental Stomus represents a mature and well-equipped choice for both local patients and international visitors seeking comprehensive dental care in Georgia's capital.
