Who treats you

Dr Amri bin Abdullah, general dentist

Day⁠-⁠to⁠-⁠day care

The treatments most people come in for

Small problems are cheaper and easier to fix than big ones. Most of what we do here is simply catching things early.

Scaling & Polishing

Plaque hardens into tartar that a toothbrush cannot shift. Scaling removes it from above and just below the gum line, then polishing smooths the surface so plaque takes longer to build up again. Most adults benefit from scaling every six to twelve months.

  • Gums bleed when you brush or floss
  • Bad breath that does not go away
  • Brown or yellow build⁠-⁠up along the gum line

Adults RM150 · Children RM100

Fillings

A filling repairs a tooth that has decayed. The dentist removes the soft, damaged part and rebuilds the tooth with a material that seals the hole. We use tooth⁠-⁠coloured composite for teeth that show, and GIC where it suits the tooth better.

  • A tooth stings on sweet, hot or cold food
  • You can see or feel a hole, or food keeps packing into one spot
  • A small chip or a worn edge on a front tooth

Composite RM100 to RM150 · GIC RM150 · Children RM100 · Fissure sealant RM70

Children's Dentistry

Getting kids used to the dentist early

The first visit is mostly about letting a child see the room, sit in the chair and have their teeth counted. Nothing scary. Once they are comfortable, check⁠-⁠ups, small fillings and fissure sealants are quick and easy, and problems get picked up while they are still small.

  • First check⁠-⁠up around the first birthday, or when the first teeth come through
  • Fissure sealants seal the deep grooves on back teeth before decay starts
  • Baby teeth matter: they hold the space for the adult teeth behind them

Children's scaling RM100 · Children's filling RM100 · Fissure sealant RM70 · Baby tooth extraction RM60 to RM100

Teeth Whitening

Whitening, supervised by the dentist

Coffee, tea, teh tarik and time all dull the colour of teeth. Whitening uses a gel that lifts stain out of the enamel. Done in the clinic, the dentist protects your gums first and controls the strength and the timing, which is the part over⁠-⁠the⁠-⁠counter kits cannot do.

A few honest points before you decide:

  • Whitening works on natural enamel. Crowns, bridges, dentures and fillings do not change colour, so they may end up looking different to the teeth around them.
  • How much the shade lifts differs from person to person, and some stains do not respond at all.
  • Teeth are often sensitive for a day or two afterwards. That settles.
  • Decay and gum problems are treated first. Whitening comes last, not first.
  • We check your teeth first and tell you plainly whether whitening is worth it for you.

Between visits

Take⁠-⁠home dental care kit

Most of the work of keeping teeth healthy happens at home, not in our chair. We put together a take⁠-⁠home kit so you have the right tools for your situation rather than guessing in the pharmacy aisle.

  • Useful if you wear braces, a denture or a retainer
  • Useful if your gums bleed easily or food traps between teeth
  • Ask at your next appointment and we will show you what is in it and how to use each item

Simple habits

Four things that make the biggest difference

  1. Brush twice, two minutes

    Fluoride toothpaste, soft bristles, small circles. Spit, do not rinse, so the fluoride stays on the teeth.

  2. Clean between the teeth daily

    Floss or an interdental brush reaches the two surfaces a toothbrush never touches.

  3. Watch the sipping, not just the sweets

    A sweet drink sipped all afternoon does more damage than the same drink finished in ten minutes.

  4. Come in before it hurts

    Pain usually means the problem has been there a while. A check⁠-⁠up only takes minutes.

Fees

Check⁠-⁠up and family care fees

These are our current fees. The dentist confirms the exact cost for you after the examination, because some teeth need more work than others. Nothing gets started before you have agreed to the price.

Your visit

What happens when you come in

  1. We listen first

    Tell us what is bothering you and how long it has been going on. Bring a list if you have several questions.

  2. Examination

    The dentist checks every tooth, your gums and your bite, and takes an x⁠-⁠ray if the tooth needs one.

  3. Options and the price, before anything starts

    You hear what the problem is, what can be done, what each option costs and how many visits it takes. You decide.

  4. Treatment, at a pace that suits you

    Simple work is often done the same day. Bigger work is split across visits so it stays comfortable and easier to budget for.
