Has anyone had their teeth whitened in KL?

I've done a bit of research and it looks like it might be a little cheaper there than in Sing (by about $300 or more)...As I'm heading that way anyway to do a bit of shopping I'm wondering if anyone would be so kind as to share their experiences with dentists/whitening over there?

Thanks!

i'm not sure about the exact prices but as with everywhere else, there should be a range depending on which clinic you go to, what kind of services they provide, the type of whitening system etc
But by virtue of the exchange rate, i think it makes sense that whitening done in Malaysia should generally be cheaper than singapore.

I dont know about durable, but i have seen some absolute HIDEOUS results with lumineers...horse-teeth style

They are big and chunky because they place them over your natural teeth rather than filing them down...

One of my friend has Empress (not sure which type though). They look pretty good.

Thanks - that's exactly what I was thinking.

It doesn't seem to be a whole lot cheaper though - even WITH the exchange rate. Most places i've inquired about charge $650 - $750...And some of those are just for the in-office bleaching, not the lasers...

the Procera should give the best aesthetics.
Basically for materials for veneers, you would require a high translucency because that would allow a certain amount of light to shine through and make the teeth appear real.
If its totally opaque, at the tips of the teeth (the incisal edges) it'll be very obvious that its prosthetic.
The laboratory fees for a Procera veneers is also the highest (if i am not mistaken) so i do believe most places will charge the highest price for it.
Empress 2 is also quite ok, and it has the added advantage of high strength and low enamel abrasiveness. meaning it'll be less likely to abrade your opposing teeth.

LOL
you're right. the selling point of lumineers is that "you don't have to grind down the teeth"
But i personally don't like them because of several reasons:
1)tooth surfaces are of course uneven in nature. so if you're going to bond a lumineer over, there'll be uneven gaps at the junction between the lumineer and tooth surface which can accumulate stains etc.
2) the amount of "Grinding" is so minimal for veneers! basically we have to keep the "Grinding" to the enamel layer to allow for maximum bonding. and this means grinding less than a couple of millimetres! most of the time it's hardly visible.
3) without grinding, there are limitations as to how the veneers can be positioned etc so the aesthetic result may be limited.

so i personally don't advocate lumineers for my patients.
Having said that, do as your dentist for his opinion on which material is most suitable because every case differs.
for example, Procera has high strength but is more opaque than Empress 2, so if your teeth are highly translucent, you might want to use Empress 2. However if the underlying teeth are highly discoloured, you might want to use Procera to mask the underlying colour better.

I've just visited gf's clinic and im very happy with the result, my teeth got 12 shades whiter which it is more than what i expected and the price is reasonable it is only 800 dollars but the price to pay is to bear the pain of the sensitivity after the whitening.

hi!
great to hear that you have a good aesthetic result at the end but i didn't see you, or did i?
probably one of my colleagues.

the sensitivity will go away after a couple of days, some sensitivity right after the procedure is normal.

cheers!
