What reviewers say
Icon Dental • Sri Petaling • Invisalign Diamond Provider • Veneers • Implants • Braces
Most patients praise Dr. Renee, Dr. Chong, Dr. Damon and the team for painless procedures, clear pre-treatment communication about costs, and genuine care. Wisdom tooth removal, fillings, root canals, Invisalign, and braces are handled with skill and patience. One patient reported a wisdom tooth extraction that was more invasive than expected and incurred surprise charges, which contrasts sharply with the overwhelming five-star consensus on honesty and comfort.
Staff take time explaining treatment plans step-by-step and answer questions thoroughly. Scaling, gum laser work, and cosmetic filling treatments are consistently praised. Kids feel welcomed here, and patients note the clinic feels professional yet warm.

The clinic offers a broad range of services from general checkups to implants and braces. Dr. Kalaiarasu, Dr. Faiz, and Dr. Michelle are specifically praised for care with both children and adults. Parking is convenient, and reviewers mention reasonable pricing relative to the standard of treatment.
Which should you pick?
Pick Icon Dental • Sri Petaling • Invisalign Diamond Provider • Veneers • Implants • Braces if
- You need Invisalign and want a provider with a Diamond-tier credential
- Your cosmetic plan involves multiple disciplines (orthodontics, implants, veneers) and you want one clinic to handle all of it
- You value structured aftercare, like follow-up calls checking on how you're healing or adjusting
Pick Dentalist Dental Clinic Segambut|Kuala Lumpur|Dental Implants|Aligners|Veneers|Teeth Whitening|Oral Health Check-Up if
- You're after teeth whitening or straightforward veneers without a multi-year treatment plan
- You prefer a smaller clinic where the same few dentists see you every visit
- Price-conscious care and an unhurried, comfortable appointment matter more to you than sub-specialist depth
Verdict
The right pick depends on how complex your cosmetic case is. Icon Dental fits patients who need veneers or whitening bundled with orthodontics or implant work, backed by an Invisalign Diamond credential and a bigger, named specialist team. Dentalist Dental Clinic fits patients after simpler cosmetic fixes, whitening or a few veneers, who want a smaller clinic, fair pricing, and a calmer, more attentive visit. Both carry strong, high-confidence review records, so this is a fit decision more than a quality gap.
