Sim & Hooi Dental Centre • KL

Sim & Hooi Dental Centre in Taman United offers dentures alongside general dental services — a relatively uncommon provision in Kuala Lumpur, where only 26 of the city's 205 clinics list denture work. The clinic also covers tooth extractions, scaling and cleaning, and a broader range including root canal treatment, crowns, bridges, implants, orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry. Founded in 1985 by Dr Sim Tang Eng and Dr Hooi You Mei, the practice states it focuses on prevention, early intervention and conservative treatment, partnering with patients for long-term oral health rather than reactive fixes.

With a Google rating of 4.9 from 803 reviews, Sim & Hooi sits at the Kuala Lumpur median rating yet draws review volume nearly six times the city median of 139. That volume reflects both longevity and a multi-dentist setup; reviewers mention returning for over a decade and name individual clinicians for gentleness during scaling or clear explanations during orthodontic consultations. The clinic lists ten dentists across general, specialist and visiting roles, including an orthodontist (Dr Kong Sheng Earn, MSc Orth London, MOrth RCSEng), a periodontist (Dr Tan Sze Jun, DClinDent Perio UKM), a prosthodontist (Dr Goo Chui Ling, MDS Prosthodontics Singapore) and an oral surgeon (Dr Sherrie Chong, MClinDent OMFS Malaya). General dentists hold BDS degrees from Malaya, IMU and VMU, with several carrying UK fellowship or implantology certificates; Dr Mabel Wu lists a Washington implantology certificate and Dr Fiona Liew a certificate in comprehensive orthodontics from N3M Melaka.

The clinic uses a 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanner and The Wand system, which it describes as painless injection technology. Services span preventive work for children — fluoride, fissure sealants, brushing education with plaque disclosing solution — through to full-mouth rehabilitation and smile makeovers for adults. Cosmetic options include veneers and teeth whitening; gum care extends to root planing and cosmetic gum surgery. The practice also mentions treatment for sleep-related breathing disorders, though detail on that pathway is not published on the website. Panel and insurance acceptance are not listed; call or message to confirm coverage before booking.

The clinic opens Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 6 PM, and closes on Sunday. Contact is by WhatsApp-capable mobile, and the website includes an online appointment form. Street parking in Taman United can be limited during peak hours; arriving a few minutes early is sensible. Sim & Hooi suits patients who value continuity — the same dentist over years — and those needing denture work, orthodontics or specialist referrals under one roof. A first visit typically covers examination, X-rays if clinically indicated, and a treatment plan with cost estimates; the practice's stated emphasis on prevention means you are likely to leave with tailored hygiene advice rather than a hard sell on elective cosmetic work.
