Our Services
Scaling & Polishing
At Lim Dental Surgery, comprehensive oral prophylaxis and preventive care form the foundation of long-term dental health. We recommend biannual (every 6 months) dental hygiene appointments to monitor oral tissues and intercept potential conditions early.
Clinical Assessment: Every preventive appointment includes a meticulous examination of the teeth and soft tissues, localized periodontal screening, and oral health diagnostics.
Ultrasonic Scaling & Polishing: Our clinicians utilize advanced ultrasonic scaling instruments to efficiently break down stubborn calculus (tartar) and plaque from dental surfaces, followed by therapeutic polishing to minimize surface staining.
One- Day Crowns,
Bridges,& Veneers
At Lim Dental Surgery, Dr. Lim and Dr. Caroline utilize an advanced, digital Planmeca CAD/CAM workflow for selected same-day dental crowns, inlays, and onlays. This state-of-the-art restorative system completely eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions and temporary teeth.
The In-House Process: After preparing the target tooth, we capture a high-precision digital impression using an intraoral scanner, custom-design your dental restoration on specialized 3D CAD software, and mill the crown immediately using our in-house Planmeca precision milling system.
Clinical Turnaround: This optimized digital workflow allows many patients to receive their final, permanent ceramic or zirconia restoration in a single clinical appointment.
Dentures
For patients experiencing partial or complete tooth loss, Lim Dental Surgery provides custom-crafted prosthetic solutions designed to restore chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and structural facial support across our Kuala Lumpur clinics.
Prosthetic Variations: We design and fit acrylic partial dentures, flexible thermoplastic plates, and complete full-mouth dental arches tailored to your unique jaw anatomy.
Implant-Supported Overdentures: To deliver maximum stability and eliminate plate slippage, we provide advanced implant-anchored overdentures that lock securely onto surgically placed titanium dental implants.
Extractions, Oral Surgery & Laser Surgery
Our dental team makes every effort to preserve your natural dentition. However, tooth extractions and oral surgery become necessary when severe decay has made a tooth unsalvageable or when a patient presents with advanced periodontal disease.
Laser-Assisted Protocol: At Lim Dental Surgery, wisdom tooth extractions and soft-tissue oral surgeries are performed using modern digital imaging and advanced laser-assisted protocols to minimize bleeding, reduce swelling, and drastically maximize patient comfort.
Clinical Recovery: Minor swelling typically peaks within 48 to 72 hours, with initial soft-tissue healing concluding within 7 days. Learn more about our complete pre-op checklists and post-op care guidelines on our dedicated Extractions Page.
Dental Fillings
Dental restorations at our Setapak and Publika clinics are performed with a strict focus on preserving natural tooth structures and sealing cavitations to prevent the spread of localized tooth decay.
Biocompatible Materials: We prioritize the use of high-strength, tooth-colored composite resins that bond directly to the tooth structure, offering a seamless and cosmetically natural appearance.
Clinical Longevity: Our precise layering and light-curing protocols ensure that dental fillings remain highly durable, sealing the tooth against future bacterial leakage and micro-fractures.
Dental Implants
At Lim Dental Surgery, permanent teeth replacements are led by senior dentist Dr. Lim Swee Seng, who holds a Master of Science (MSc) in Implant Dentistry from the University of Warwick (UK). We utilize state-of-the-art digital dentistry workflows to design and place premium, globally recognized titanium implant systems across our Setapak and Publika clinics.
Clinical Success Rates: Modern clinical data shows that our high-grade titanium dental implants maintain a long-term bone-fusion (osseointegration) success rate of 95% to 98%.
Lifetime Durability: Unlike temporary alternatives, our permanent dental implants are engineered to function exactly like natural tooth roots. With standard routine checkups and good oral hygiene, they are built to last a lifetime.
Procedural Offerings: Our specialized implant services include single-tooth dental implants, multi-tooth implant bridges, full-arch restorations, and advanced bone grafting options tailored to unique patient anatomical requirements.
Braces & Clear Aligners
Lim Dental Surgery provides advanced orthodontic alignment options to correct crooked, crowded, or maloccluded teeth for patients seeking structural smile transformations.
System Selections: We offer advanced self-ligating braces (available in both high-durability metal and discreet clear ceramic brackets) which optimize tooth movement with reduced friction and fewer clinical adjustment visits.
Invisible Clear Aligners: For a highly aesthetic alternative, we utilize removable, custom-designed clear aligner trays that apply calculated orthodontic forces to straighten teeth seamlessly without metal wires or brackets.
Root Canal Treatment
Our primary clinical goal is always to save your natural dentition. Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) is highly successful in removing localized infections from internal tooth pulp while relieving acute dental pain.
Microscopic Precision: Endodontic procedures are performed cleanly under specialized magnification and surgical microscopes to locate complex root canal branches precisely.
Painless Therapy: Using modern local anesthesia protocols, the deep sterilization and sealing of the canal space are completed comfortably and virtually painlessly for the patient.
Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic inflammatory condition influenced by genetic susceptibility, smoking, or systematic conditions like diabetes. Left untreated, it compromises the bone supporting your teeth.
Deep Therapeutic Cleaning: Periodontal maintenance involves detailed root planing and scaling to remove harmful subgingival plaque, tartar, and bacterial toxins from deep underneath the gumline.
Maintenance Recalls: Regular localized monitoring and supportive therapy are provided to arrest gum recession, eliminate pocket depths, and preserve foundational bone structures.
Cosmetic Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments at Lim Dental offer an immediate, effective, and long-lasting smile transformation compared to generic over-the-counter options.
In-Office Treatment: Our clinically supervised bleaching protocols utilize concentrated, safe whitening gels activated by specialized light technology to break down deep enamel stains safely.
Enamel Protection: Formulated with sensitivity-reducing agents, our professional whitening procedures deliver uniform shade brightening while preserving enamel health and minimizing tooth sensitivity.
