Van Dental Solution (VDS)

Van Dental Solution (VDS) is a private specialist-led dental practice located in central Medan, the capital city of North Sumatra. The clinic is led jointly by drg. Vandersun Lestari, an Indonesian licensed dentist who holds the Sp.Perio specialty in periodontics, and drg. Sherly Tjandra, a general dentist. The combination of an in-house periodontist and a general dentist allows the practice to handle both everyday dental needs and complex periodontal cases internally, with the periodontist focused on gum disease management, soft and hard tissue procedures, and implant cases, and the general dentist handling routine restorative and preventive care. Medan is the largest city on the island of Sumatra and one of Indonesia's most populous urban centers, with a long-standing reputation as a regional commercial hub, a steady mix of universities, business districts, and cultural landmarks, and a position as a key gateway to the wider North Sumatra region.

The Sp.Perio specialty, which stands for Spesialis Periodonsia, is the Indonesian dental specialty in periodontics, focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. The presence of a periodontist in the clinic allows the practice to manage advanced gum disease, complex soft and hard tissue work, and implant cases with a higher level of specialty support than a typical general practice.

The location places the clinic in central Medan, in one of the city's mixed residential and commercial corridors, with steady access from the central business district and the surrounding suburbs. Operating hours run through the afternoon and into the evening, which makes appointments easier to schedule outside traditional working hours, and patients commonly book through WhatsApp ahead of their visit.

Periodontal care, anchored by drg. Vandersun Lestari's Sp.Perio specialty, is one of the practice's core focus areas. Common reasons patients are seen for periodontal work include longstanding gum bleeding, gum recession, mobile teeth, deep gum pockets that have not improved with regular cleaning, and bone loss around the supporting structures of the teeth. The clinic handles non-surgical periodontal therapy, including thorough scaling and root planing, sometimes referred to as deep cleaning, and surgical periodontal care, including flap surgery for cleaning deeper pockets, soft tissue grafting for recession cases where appropriate, and bone grafting and regenerative procedures for selected cases of bone loss. The periodontist is also commonly involved in implant planning and placement.

Beyond periodontics, the practice covers the everyday range of general dentistry that local patients typically need. Routine and preventive care includes oral examinations, professional scaling and polishing, fluoride applications where appropriate, and patient education in everyday brushing and flossing technique. Restorative dentistry covers tooth-colored composite fillings, glass ionomer restorations for selected indications, and full-coverage ceramic crowns. Endodontic treatment, including conventional root canal therapy on anterior, premolar, and molar teeth, is provided for teeth that need pulp treatment, with post-endodontic restoration planned to keep the tooth functional in the long term.

For tooth replacement, Van Dental Solution (VDS) offers conventional bridges and full-coverage crowns for fixed prosthetic cases, along with removable solutions including acrylic and flexible thermoplastic dentures. Dental implants are part of the wider service menu for patients who are good candidates and who can plan their treatment over multiple visits in line with implant healing protocols. The combination of periodontal expertise and general dental support makes the practice particularly suited for implant cases that need careful coordination of soft tissue, bone, and prosthetic phases.

Cosmetic dentistry is also part of the practice's regular menu. In-office and at-home professional whitening, also known locally as bleaching, composite veneers, porcelain veneers, and ceramic crowns for visible front teeth are all available for patients seeking smile design improvements. Conservative bonding is used for chips, gaps, and small shape concerns. Orthodontic treatment, including conventional fixed appliances and clear aligner therapy, is also offered as part of comprehensive treatment plans.

Sterilization and infection control follow standard Indonesian dental specialist protocols, with autoclaved instruments, single-use items handled appropriately, and clean, well-prepared treatment rooms. Communication with patients is generally clear and unhurried, in keeping with the expectations of a postgraduate specialist practice, and WhatsApp is the day-to-day channel for booking, follow-up, and treatment questions.

For patients researching dental care in Medan who specifically need periodontal treatment, dental implant placement, or a careful second opinion on a tooth that has been recommended for extraction because of gum disease, Van Dental Solution (VDS) offers a focused specialist option in central Medan, anchored by the Sp.Perio specialty leadership of drg. Vandersun Lestari and supported by drg. Sherly Tjandra's general dentistry care.
