has anyone done their dental crowning at government clinics?

one of my colleague recommended me and said it is much cheaper and also can make appointments via the MySejahtera app?

The last time I went to a government dentist as a kid, I remember screaming through the entire process and tooth-ache for 2 days before private doctor could get rid of the pain.
Never again...

yes, its a slow process , if you have the patience that is

dont think they subsidize material cost.
saves on treatment/labor cost, probably yes.

Follow....

Private dentist i query in KL is about Rm2k+ for one.

ouh. figured as much.

somehow i can only relate the experience to be the same as those dental clinic visit to government school. wasn't pleasant as i remembered very vividly that the nurse forcefully extracted my milk teeth with a playar looking tool.

i see then perhaps i'll just go back to my usual dental clinic then. don't have whole day to wait.

It's your teeth. Whenever you smile, people will see your entire facial expression. Better go to a dentist you trust to do a good job.

did mine at my cousin there..

she only charge me around 1k plus.

zirconia crown

ouh, then most probably would be cheaper by around RM500.00 then.

i enquired and for a "normal" one, costs around RM1k+ but apparently you can choose the type of crowning material so i'm dropping by tomorrow morning to find out more. not in KL by the way, Puchong.

If wanted private, make sure to get the nett price.

It can reach 10k++ if they add more treatments

too much

nowadays got lowest maybe 800

Zirconia about to 2k, normal is 500 to 1k i think. Zirconia look like original tooth. Normal look whitish.

it is one of my molars and i have not bitten on that side since i've completed the root canal so figured that it's time i do a crowning and utilize that part as well.

i think Zirconia is not the basic bitch crowning material already. Did your cousin charged you cheaper because you are her cousin?

if not, please PM contact. will visit her if nearby.

how long crown on dead teeth will lasts?
i checked youtube video, it can only last few years, indicating that it is hard to take care those teeth anymore. still need to pasang implant later.

There's a waiting list iirc. Like someone mentioned above, you gotta have the patience to wait. Also not all gov clinics will have it, only clinics with a specialist attachment. Cost wise I think can refer to KKM website

normal dentist cant take impression, order crown?
anyway, the cost:

never thought of that... but what's the normal rate for crowning in private clinic?

she has clinic in kepong/kuchai lama....

lets hope mine will last...

its my 3rd year now... still working great on chewing food... felt stronger than normal molar without crown...

can but they usually do the bread and butter (fillings,scalings etc.) treatments. perhaps the more senior ones will take over.

i did some basic reading and it turns out the longevity of a crown is highly subjective as it depends on myriad of factors but if statistics are to be believable, 25 years is a good estimation however with extremely good oral hygiene care, it will still be there when you are put into the coffin.

if that's the costs then it is very cheap, at least 9x cheaper!

not sure what is the normal price. my wife did one in Cheras, costs her around RM900.00 but that was about a year ago. i asked one earlier but in Puchong, around RM1k+

will update again after i come back from my visit tomorrow but point to note, these are the basic bitch stuffs. no zirconia, no diamond stuffs etc.

kepong/kuchai lama is too far for me to travel.
