Imperial Dental Specialist Centre

What Imperial Dental Specialist Centre does

Imperial Dental Specialist Centre is a private multi-specialty dental clinic headquartered in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, providing comprehensive dental care with a core focus on orthodontics (Invisalign), dental implantology, and surgical removal of wisdom teeth. Founded in 2000 and previously operating as How's Orthodontics & Dental Surgery, the practice is led by Chief Consultant Prof. Dato' Dr How Kim Chuan, a 24+ year orthodontist specialist, and is supported by a multi-doctor team spanning orthodontics, prosthodontics, implantology, and general dentistry. The clinic serves both local Malaysian patients and an explicit international medical tourism cohort from the UK, Singapore, New Zealand, Korea, Australia, and Kuwait, with remote treatment planning and travel coordination for cross-border cases.

The clinic's service offering is broad — 14+ procedures including Invisalign clear aligner therapy, dental implants with digital planning and CAD/CAM crown fabrication, full mouth rehabilitation, laser dentistry, wisdom tooth surgery, crowns and bridges, teeth whitening, root canal therapy, gum treatment, pediatric dentistry, early treatment appliances, dentures, fillings and scalings, and emergency dental care — enabled by third-party dental technology such as laser systems, CT scanning, CAD/CAM fabrication, digital implant simulation software, and the Invisalign system. The practice has held Invisalign Diamond Provider status since 2015 across 2015–2019 (reportedly the 4th highest in Asia with 2,000+ cases), and has been recognized as the IMTJ International Dental Clinic of the Year in 2014, 2015, and 2016.

The business operates a fee-for-service professional services revenue model. Pricing is quote-based, determined during consultation, and varies with procedure complexity, materials, and visit count. Revenue is generated through in-clinic procedures at a single physical location in Bangsar, supplemented by medical tourism services delivered to international patients. The clinic is accredited by the Global Clinic Rating (GCR) and the Malaysian Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), is listed on the Dental Departures medical tourism platform, and is privately held with no evidence of institutional investment, M&A activity, or public listing.

Others

• Straumann Group: Swiss-based global dental implant and prosthetics manufacturer with leading market share; comparable as the enabling implant and CAD/CAM technology partner underlying dental implant services generally offered by premium specialist clinics including Imperial DSC's implant and full mouth rehabilitation offerings.
• Align Technology: US-based global leader in clear aligner systems (Invisalign) and iTero intraoral scanners; the core technology enabler behind Imperial DSC's Diamond Provider status and Invisalign revenue stream, and a strategic partner determining the trajectory of the clinic's largest orthodontic line.

Regional players

• Bangkok International Dental Hospital (BIDH): Thailand-based dental hospital operating as a flagship dental tourism facility for international patients; comparable in medical-tourism focus, implant and aesthetic service offerings, and cross-border Southeast Asian patient flow, though anchored in Thailand's deeper tourism infrastructure and operating from multiple operator sites.
• Siloam Hospitals: Indonesia's largest private hospital group providing inpatient and outpatient services including dental specialties; comparable in delivering multi-specialty dental services in Southeast Asia, though operates integrated hospital model versus Imperial DSC's standalone specialist-clinic positioning.
• National Dental Centre Singapore: Singapore's national specialty dental centre under SingHealth offering specialist orthodontics, implants, and oral surgery with research and training mandates; comparable in delivering multi-specialty specialist dental care for complex cases, though operates as public-sector institution rather than premium private clinic.
• Pacific Smiles Dental: Australian dental chain with clinics across NSW, VIC, QLD, and ACT; comparable in offering high-volume multi-specialty services (orthodontics, implants, cosmetic) with strong consumer brand recognition, though Australian-geography focused and not directly competing for medical-tourism cross-border patients.
• Bangkok International Dental Center (BIDC): Established Bangkok-based dental clinic specializing in dental tourism for international patients from Australia, Europe, and Asia-Pacific; directly competes with Imperial DSC for cross-border medical tourism patients and offers overlapping implant, aesthetic, and orthodontic services in Thai geography.

Broad incumbents

• Raffles Dental (Raffles Medical Group): Dental arm of publicly listed Raffles Medical Group delivering high-end dental services including orthodontics, implants, and aesthetic dentistry across Singapore and regional network; comparable in premium positioning, specialist-led care, and affluent cross-border patient capture, but embedded within broader healthcare group.
• Q&M Dental Group: Singapore's largest publicly listed dental group with multi-country footprint across Singapore, Malaysia, and China; comparable in delivering multi-specialty dental services (orthodontics, implants, aesthetic dentistry) but operates at materially larger scale and with institutional capital base versus Imperial DSC's founder-led structure.

Direct peers

• Tiew Dental Centre: Malaysian multi-branch dental chain offering orthodontics, implants, aesthetic dentistry, and general dental services; comparable in geography, service mix, and middle-to-premium Malaysian patient segments, though operates broader footprint than Imperial DSC's single-clinic private specialist model.
