What We Provide
General Dentistry Services in Penang
The clinic provides examinations, scaling, fillings, dental X-rays and assessments for simple tooth extraction. Your dentist will confirm the suitable treatment after examining your teeth and gums.
Dental Check-ups
A routine examination reviews the teeth, gums, existing restorations and any concern that needs closer assessment.
Dental Scaling and Polishing
Scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar around the teeth and gumline. Polishing then smooths the tooth surfaces and removes some surface stains.
Simple Tooth Extraction
When a tooth cannot be repaired predictably, the dentist may recommend a simple extraction if the tooth is fully visible and accessible. Impacted or complex cases require an Oral Surgery assessment.
Tooth Fillings
A filling may restore a tooth affected by decay, wear or a small fracture when enough healthy tooth structure remains.
Digital Dental X-rays
An X-ray may provide more information about hidden decay, roots or bone when an examination alone is not enough.
Children’s Dental Visits
Regular visits can help the dentist monitor developing teeth, identify early decay and help children become familiar with the dental environment.
Treatment Planning
How Your Dentist Plans Treatment
Discuss Your
Concern

Examine the Teeth and Gums
The dentist checks for tartar, decay, gum concerns, fractures and existing restorations.
Take an X-ray When
Needed
A digital X-ray may provide more information about roots, bone or hidden decay.
Review the Plan and Quotation
The dentist explains the findings, suitable options, appointment needs and expected fees before treatment.
Preventive Care
Dental Scaling and Polishing
Dental scaling removes hardened plaque and tartar around the teeth and gumline. Polishing then smooths the tooth surfaces and removes some surface stains.
Your dentist will check gum health and the amount of buildup before recommending a suitable cleaning interval. Patients with inflamed gums, deeper deposits or fixed braces may need a different care plan.
Read our guide to dental scaling and polishing, including what happens during treatment, how it may feel and the factors that affect cost.
Restorative Care
Tooth Fillings for Decay and Minor Damage
A filling may restore a tooth affected by decay, wear or a small fracture when enough healthy structure remains. The dentist may take an X-ray to assess the depth of damage before recommending treatment.
The material and approach depend on the tooth’s position, the amount of damage, bite pressure and appearance. The treatment plan and quotation are explained before care begins.

Can Scaling and Filling Be Done in One Visit?
Scaling and filling can sometimes be completed during the same appointment when both treatments are suitable and enough time is available. Gum health, the number of fillings and the extent of decay may make a second visit necessary.
Tooth Removal
When Simple Tooth Extraction May Be Recommended
A tooth may need removal when it cannot be repaired predictably. The dentist first assesses the remaining tooth structure, the surrounding gums and any X-ray findings.
A fully visible tooth may be removed through a simple extraction. Wisdom teeth, impacted teeth and cases that require surgery are assessed under the Oral Surgery service.
Before agreeing to an extraction, ask if the quoted fee covers the examination, imaging, the procedure itself, aftercare and the review appointment.
Care for Growing Smiles
Dental Visits for Children
Regular dental visits allow the dentist to monitor developing teeth, identify early decay and help children become familiar with the dental environment. The appointment can be paced around the child’s comfort and ability to cooperate.
If an alignment or bite concern appears, the child can also be assessed to decide when orthodontic treatment should start.
Clinical Approach
Care Based on Examination Findings
Teeth and Gum Assessment
The dentist checks for tartar, decay, gum inflammation, fractures and existing restorations.
Imaging Based on Need
Digital X-rays support treatment decisions when a concern cannot be assessed fully through examination alone.
Restoring a Tooth When Suitable
Some complex movements and extraction cases can be managed more predictably with fixed braces. Dr Goh will recommend an option after examining your bite.
Referral to the Right Service
General dentistry, oral surgery and specialist orthodontic care can be coordinated at the E-Gate clinic according to the patient’s needs.
