BDS (Malaya), General Dental Practitioner

The first thing you’ll notice about Dr Siti Hafizatun is her warm and welcoming smile—a reflection of the experience she strives to offer every patient who walks through her door. She believes that helping patients feel at ease is just as important as the treatment itself.

Born and raised in Penang as the youngest of 11 siblings, Dr Siti naturally exudes the friendly charm and hospitality associated with Malaysia’s northern region. Her love for travel and connecting with people from all walks of life further enhances her ability to relate to patients with empathy and ease.

Dr Siti earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Universiti Malaya, one of the country’s top dental institutions. She began her career with a clinical attachment in Oral Surgery at Hospital Alor Setar, working under the guidance of the Head of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department. Nearly a decade later, she has turned her dream into reality by opening her own practice—dedicated to providing comprehensive, patient-centred care.

Her approach to dental care is grounded in continual learning and a deep understanding of each patient’s unique needs. Dr Siti has pursued numerous courses and workshops in cosmetic dentistry, prosthodontics, oral surgery, and preventive care. She also attends specialised seminars for the treatment of special needs children, senior citizens, and oral cancer screening.

One of the most frequently requested services at her clinic is treatment with nitrous oxide sedation, commonly known as laughing gas. This gentle and effective method is especially helpful for patients with severe dental anxiety, allowing them to undergo treatment in a relaxed and comfortable state.

In 2019, Dr Siti was honoured as one of Malaysia’s Women Icons, a prestigious award presented by the Singapore-based Business Excellence & Research Group (BERG). She was recognised among 18 outstanding women across various sectors for her leadership, contribution to healthcare, and impact in her field.

Dr Siti believes dental care should be simple, comfortable, and never intimidating—more like an act of self-care than a burden. She is passionate about helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles and views dental hygiene not just as a health necessity, but as an essential part of a fulfilling and empowered life.
