For Lidcombe families

Why have Lidcombe families chosen Berala Dental since 2002?

Lidcombe is a growing, family-rich suburb with strong Korean and Chinese communities with a population of 20,000+. For over two decades, Berala Dental has provided family dental care to Lidcombe residents — close enough to drop by, family-run, and built around the everyday needs of working parents, school-age kids, and grandparents who have trusted the practice across generations.

Whether you live near Lidcombe Centre Shopping Mall, Lidcombe Station, Wyatt Park, or anywhere across the wider Lidcombe postcode (NSW 2141), Berala Dental is a short trip away. The clinic sits on Woodburn Road in Berala — approximately 9 minutes by car from Lidcombe.

For families who have lived in Lidcombe for years, Berala Dental is a familiar local option — many long-term patients first came in as children and now bring their own kids. For families newer to Lidcombe, the practice offers a small, family-run setting where the same dentist sees you every visit, where the team remembers your name, and where you do not get bounced between locums.

Berala Dental is a BUPA Members First Provider, which means BUPA members from Lidcombe are treated under agreed provider fees; what each member gets back depends on their policy. The practice also accepts all other major Australian health funds — Medibank, HCF, NIB, CBHS, Frank, HBF, Teachers Health — and processes claims on the spot via HICAPS. For eligible Lidcombe children under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), bulk-billing applies up to $1,158 over a two-year period.

Local context

What makes Berala Dental suitable for Lidcombe families?

Lidcombe is a growing, family-rich suburb with strong Korean and Chinese communities with a population of 20,000+. Lidcombe families need dental care that fits real life — flexible hours, a multilingual team, and a practice that understands different cultural backgrounds and dietary practices.

Berala Dental sees Lidcombe patients across every age and stage. Toddlers and young children coming in for their first dental visit (often around age 1-2). 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 Lidcombe 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 Lidcombe patients of all ages for check-ups, cleans, paediatric appointments, and periodontal deep cleans. Dr Mahnaz administers nitrous oxide (happy gas) sedation for nervous adult and paediatric patients. Dr Belal Aly performs all dental implant work in-house — no external referrals.

The practice is open Saturdays from 9am to 4pm, which matters when school and work make weekday visits impossible. Berala Dental is also on WhatsApp at +61 480 198 320 for patients who prefer to message rather than call — send a photo and a description, and the team will respond as soon as possible.

Implants, braces and health-fund cover: the detail for Lidcombe patients

Three questions come up from Lidcombe more than any others: dental implants, braces, and what a health fund will actually pay. Here are the honest answers.

Dental implants — done in one place

Implants are placed in-house at the Berala clinic: the 3D scan, the surgical placement and the final crown all happen under one roof. That means no referral to a separate surgeon across the city, and no second set of consultation fees. Implants are not right for every case — bone volume and gum health decide that — so the assessment comes first and the plan is written down before anything starts. More on dental implants.

Braces and aligners — what we do and don't do

We do not provide braces or clear aligners ourselves. What we do is assess the bite, take the records, and refer to a trusted orthodontist when treatment is genuinely warranted — and say so plainly when it is not. For children, an early assessment is usually more valuable than early treatment, because it tells you whether to act now or simply keep watching. Children's orthodontic assessment.

What "preferred provider" really means for your out-of-pocket

Berala Dental is a BUPA Members First preferred provider, and we claim on the spot through HICAPS for every major Australian fund. In practice that means your fund's contribution is applied at the counter and you pay whatever remains on the day. What it does not mean is a guaranteed zero out-of-pocket — every policy, annual limit and item number is different, and only your fund can confirm what you have left. Ask us to run a quote against your specific policy before treatment starts. How our fees and payment options work.

Getting here from Lidcombe

Berala is the next station along the T3 line from Lidcombe interchange, and the clinic is a short walk south down Woodburn Road from Berala Station. Street parking is available out front if you drive. We are open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 4pm, which suits Lidcombe commuters who would rather not take time off work.
