Berala Dental sees Five Dock patients across every age and stage. Toddlers and young children coming in for their first dental visit (often around age 1-2) — bulk-billed under CDBS for eligible families. School-age children for check-ups, cleans, fluoride, and the occasional filling. Teenagers for orthodontic consults, wisdom tooth assessments, and sports mouthguards. Working adults for everything from preventive cleans to cosmetic dentistry, root canals, and crowns. Older Five Dock residents for implants, dentures, and restorative care.
The team includes Dr Belal Aly (Principal Dentist, English and Arabic), Dr Mahnaz (Dentist, English and Urdu), and oral health therapists Nadim Elhami and Humzah Aly. Nadim and Humzah see Five Dock patients of all ages for check-ups, cleans, paediatric appointments, and periodontal deep cleans.
