Keep Smiling with KPJ KL Dental
Specialist Centre
KPJ KL Dental Specialist Centre helps you achieve that precious smile that you always
wanted.
A
smile lights up the
face. Consider yourself
lucky if you were born
with a perfect set of
teeth and can smile to
your heart’s content
without any concern.
Unfortunately, there are those who need
a little bit of help before being able to
confidently flash their pearly whites.
Braces, teeth whitening and crowning are
just some of the dental procedures that all
of us are familiar with. Many of us have
very little idea about another treatment
called dental implant and its ability for a
complete facial transformation.
At KPJ KL Dental Specialist Centre,
teeth implants are one of the most in-
demand procedures, not only among
locals, but also medical travellers from
other parts of the globe. Fireflyz drops
by the centre to find out more about this
procedure from its Consultant Oral Maxil-
lofacial Surgeon and Oral Implantologist,
Dr Shamsul Anuar and why KPJ KL
Dental Specialist Centre should be the
top choice for any dental procedures.
Most dental procedures fall under
cosmetic dentistry are usually done to
improve appearance while maintaining
optimum functions. Both aspects are
equally important and need to be taken
into consideration. “A lot of patients who
come here are those who are missing
teeth. They don’t want to be seen that
way in public and above all want to get it
fixed because they find it difficult to eat
properly,” explains Dr Shamsul.
The entire team of professional dental
Specialist at KPJ KL Dental Special-
ist Centre is committed to lend their
expertise in enhancing appearances and
improving dental health of each patient
that walks through their door.
Cosmetic dental procedures use
mostly composite materials which have
a very low level of rejection. Crown
veneers and bridges are made out of
metal and ceramic. Titanium is the
preferred choice of material for dental
implants next to zirconia, which is the
latest option available. Titanium dental
implants last for a lifetime. The first
implant on a patient from the seventies
would still be functioning until today.
“Dental implant procedure involves
the removal of problematic teeth and a
set of screws will be put in place before
building the new teeth on top. Unlike
dentures, the implant functions just like
real teeth. Patients are required to brush
and floss as they do with real teeth.
