Today Unident is one of the largest Russian dental networks employing over 500 healthcare professionals. Network experts develop and use own standards of patient treatment according to the global trends in dentistry. It is not so easy to find new doctors able to render medical aid at the required professional level. Besides, practice of doctors and junior medical staff requires continuous training..
