A filling
When decay has reached the sensitive part of the tooth. The filling is tooth-coloured, so it does not show.
Family dentistryToothache today
Sakit gigi · 牙痛. You do not need to wait for next week's slot.
If you are in pain, message or call Ooi Dental and come in. Emergencies are attended to immediately during opening hours at both Melaka clinics: Kota Laksamana 9:00am to 6:00pm, Taman Lagenda 10:00am to 7:00pm.
Why it matters
Toothache rarely goes away on its own. Pain that comes with hot and cold, pain that wakes you at night, and swelling in the gum or face each point to something different, and the sooner it is seen the smaller the treatment tends to be. What to do right now.
Your options at Ooi Dental
Root canal treatment
When the nerve inside the tooth is infected. It removes the infection and keeps the tooth, and the pain settles once the nerve is treated.
Family dentistryExtraction
When the tooth cannot be saved, including wisdom teeth. It is done under local anaesthetic, and we talk about replacing the tooth afterwards, so the gap does not become the next problem.
Family dentistryWhat happens when you come in
Every case at Ooi Dental follows the same five steps: a consultation with a digital assessment, a conversation about what is bothering you and what you want, a personalised treatment plan, treatment carried out with modern technology, and ongoing maintenance afterwards.
If you are in pain today, emergencies are attended to immediately during opening hours. Walk-in patients are usually seen within 30 minutes. Ooi Dental does not publish treatment fees. You will be told the cost of your plan before anything starts, and you decide from there.
Common questions
Yes. Emergencies are attended to immediately during opening hours. WhatsApp the clinic closer to you and say it is an emergency.
Whichever is closer. Kota Laksamana opens first in the morning; Taman Lagenda is open later in the evening.
Not necessarily. Many painful teeth can be saved with a filling or root canal treatment. We look first, then explain.
