Avant Dental Clinic / Klinik Pergigian Avant ( Kota Permai, Bukit Mertajam )

Avant Dental Clinic in Taman Lembah Permai covers a broad treatment spectrum uncommon in Bukit Mertajam's smaller practices. The clinic runs a visiting orthodontist service alongside routine work, offers advanced imaging including cone-beam CT, and lists endodontic retreatment and apicectomy among its surgical options. Paediatric procedures—pulpectomy, fissure sealants—sit on the same schedule as adult periodontics and multiple denture types, making it a practical choice for families who prefer one clinic rather than separate referrals.

With 132 Google reviews and a perfect five-star rating, Avant stands fractionally above Bukit Mertajam's city median of 4.9 stars and 131 reviews. That narrow margin reflects consistent performance rather than a handful of early votes, and the volume suggests steady patient flow across the clinic's range of services.

Four named dentists work here. Dr Ong Ki Wei and Dr Ang Lai Choon both trained at Malaysian public universities; Dr Khor Su Yean graduated from Universiti Malaya; the visiting orthodontist, Dr Woon See Choong, holds a Manchester MSc and the Royal College of Surgeons of England membership in orthodontics. The clinic's own statement emphasises pain-free, comfortable treatment and notes that all instruments meet clean-and-safe protocols for every patient. Digital periapical and bitewing X-rays, OPG and lateral cephalogram are available on site, alongside the 3D CBCT scanner.

The clinic opens every day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday run 9 am to 1 pm then 2 pm to 9 pm; Thursday and Saturday close at 6 pm instead of 9 pm; Sunday is 10 am to 1 pm and 2 pm to 4 pm. That Sunday slot and the late weeknight finish suit shift workers and families juggling school runs. Contact is by WhatsApp-capable mobile; the website does not publish a standard phone number or panel affiliations, so confirm insurance acceptance and fees when you book.

Avant suits patients who want orthodontics, surgical extractions, root-canal retreatment or paediatric dentistry under one roof without driving into George Town. A first visit will typically cover an examination, digital X-rays if needed, and a treatment plan; the clinic states it aims to understand your needs fully before starting work, so expect time spent discussing options rather than rushing straight to the chair.
