What happens at your first dental visit in Melaka?
About 30 minutes, an examination and a conversation, and nothing done without your agreement.
A first visit at Ooi Dental in Melaka takes about 30 minutes. The dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes X-rays only if they are needed, and does scaling at the same visit if time allows. You get the treatment plan and the cost in writing before any treatment starts.
How long does a first visit take?
About 30 minutes.
It starts with what brought you in and what you want fixed. Then the dentist looks, explains what they see, and talks you through the options that apply to you.
Will I need an X-ray?
Only if it is needed. X-rays are not taken as a routine at every first visit.
An X-ray is used when the dentist needs to see something the eye cannot, such as the root of a tooth or the bone around it. If one is needed, the dentist will tell you why first.
Can I have my teeth cleaned at the same visit?
Yes, if time allows. Scaling can be done at the first visit; otherwise it is booked as the next one.
Scaling and gum care is part of Family Dentistry at both clinics.
Will I know the cost before anything is done?
Yes. You get the treatment plan and the cost in writing before any treatment starts.
Nothing is done on the day without your consent.
What should I bring?
Your IC, and the referral letter if another clinic or dentist sent you.
Walk-ins are welcome and usually seen within 30 minutes; booking on WhatsApp guarantees your time. Kota Laksamana is open 9:00am to 6:00pm daily and Taman Lagenda 10:00am to 7:00pm daily.
