Restore your decayed teeth with dental fillings in Kuala Lumpur at far lower prices than you’d pay at home.

KL is renowned for scenic attractions, shopping centres, gastronomic dishes, and plenty of leisure activities. The Petronas Twin Towers are a must-see and hard to miss as they dominate the skyline. 

At the foot of this iconic building is Suria KLCC Shopping Mall where you can find a variety of restaurants, boutiques, and an entertainment centre. Relax in a nearby park or drive half an hour from the city for the thrilling rides and water activities in Sunway Lagoon.

You get to restore your teeth while relaxing in this top tourist destination, taking only a couple of hours out of your holiday schedule to improve your dental health.

What Are Dental Fillings?


Fillings are used to treat decayed teeth. The procedure involves the removal of decay and the application of filling material into the affected area. It is a simple procedure that pays dividends in maintaining dental health, but the high costs at home are forcing many Australians to forego dental work they don’t deem as necessary, with unfortunate consequences. 

Fillings are a major part of preventive dentistry—stopping small problems from becoming bigger ones that will be more expensive to treat down the road.

The dental filling treatment process is simple, beginning by numbing the area around the tooth with an injection of local anaesthetic. Once numb, the dentist removes all the decayed areas from the tooth before cleaning and placing filling material into the resulting cavity.

What Are the Types of Fillings?

Fillings are made of different materials like composite, ionomers, gold, ceramic, and amalgam—all with their own pros and cons. Your dentist will discuss the options with you:

• Composites match the shade of your teeth but are not as durable as some other materials.
• Ionomers are only used for small cavities.
• Gold is expensive and involves a longer treatment process.
• Ceramics are more resistant to stains than composites but are also abrasive.
• Amalgam is the cheapest material. However, it is unsightly and there is controversy about amalgam containing mercury, which may make you want to rethink that option.

How Do I Care for My Teeth with Fillings?

Simply observe proper oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash regularly—and be careful chewing hard toffees/candy, ice cubes or even olives with stones as these can dislodge fillings.

What About the Quality of Dental Care in Kuala Lumpur?


Clinics in KL offer comfortable treatments. Facilities are equipped with modern tools and technologies for accurate diagnoses and predictable treatment outcomes. As members of organizations like the Malaysian Dental Association and Malaysian Dental Council, the dentists adhere to industry-wide standards.

Top in every respect The Medic Antalya Dental Clinic, The team is not only highly competent but also incredibly friendly. I can recommend this clinic with a clear conscience

I was there 3 weeks ago and had my lower jaw done. The first contact was very good. After I sent the X-ray images to the clinic, very easily via WhatsApp, specific questions were asked to assess the current situations. All eventualities were discussed/mentioned. I then received a cost plan very quickly. The appointment arrangement also worked perfectly. Flights booked, that’s it. When we arrived in Antalya (due to a delay at 3 a.m.) we were personally picked up and taken to the hotel despite the delay. On the morning of the operation we were picked up by the driver in good time. The treatment that followed was the best treatment I have ever received from a dentist. Since I am an “anxious patient”, I was immediately given something to calm me down. Then, on the chair, a spray was sprayed into my mouth before the injections, which numbed everything a bit so that I hardly noticed the injections. In total the treatment lasted 3 hours. I really didn't feel any pain at any time. You just have to “endure” the noises and vibrations. I was then given painkillers and antibiotics and taken back to the hotel. When the anesthesia wore off I only had slight pain. In the evening I was able to eat mashed potatoes and fried eggs. I don't use the temporary solution that was made. Since I also had bone augmentation, no solid temporary solution could be used. Now I'll wait until January and then the teeth will finally be firmly attached to the implants. So I can recommend this clinic without reservation.

Just got back from Antalya in turkey with my temporary fixed dentures after have the first part of my “All on 6” treatment. These guys have been amazing with myself and my two friends who both had veneer crowns. I can’t recommend them enough if you plan on getting any dental work done over in turkey. Once I’ve finished my treatment in about 6 months time I will leave another review or update this one. UPDATE!!! Now completely finished my all on 6 treatment and wow. I have an amazing smile. Still the best place to go I’m my opinion. All the staff are very friendly. VIP transfers. Amazing dental facilities. I would recommend them to anyone who was looking to get some dental work.
