Why have Westmead families chosen Berala Dental since 2002?
Westmead is a major Sydney health precinct centered on Westmead Hospital and the Children's Hospital at Westmead, with a population of 6,000+ permanent residents plus tens of thousands of daily hospital staff, medical students, and visiting families. For over two decades, Berala Dental has provided family dental care to Westmead residents, healthcare workers, and out-of-area families staying in the precinct — close enough to drop by, family-run, and built around the everyday needs of shift workers, working parents, school-age kids, and grandparents who have trusted the practice across generations.
Whether you live or work near Westmead Hospital, the Children's Hospital at Westmead, University of Sydney Westmead campus, Westmead Station, or anywhere across the wider Westmead postcode (NSW 2145), Berala Dental is a short trip away. The clinic sits on Woodburn Road in Berala — approximately 20 minutes by car from Westmead Hospital.
For families who have lived in Westmead 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 hospital staff, medical students, and families newer to the Westmead precinct, 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 Westmead typically receive higher rebates compared with non-provider clinics on most services. 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 Westmead children under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), bulk-billing applies up to $1,158 over a two-year period.

What makes Berala Dental suitable for Westmead families?
Westmead is one of Sydney's largest healthcare precincts, anchored by Westmead Hospital, the Children's Hospital at Westmead, Westmead Private Hospital, Cumberland Hospital, and the University of Sydney Westmead campus. Alongside its 6,000+ permanent residents, the suburb fills each day with shift-working hospital staff, medical students, and family members staying long-term while a loved one is in care.
Berala Dental's Saturday hours from 9am to 4pm and weekday hours until 6pm work well for nurses, doctors, and allied health staff whose rosters rarely fit a 9-to-5 clinic. For families who travel in to be near a child or relative in hospital, the practice offers continuity through one familiar dentist rather than a rotating roster of locums — so a treatment plan started during a long hospital stay can be picked up at the next visit with the same clinician.
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 Westmead 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.
Berala Dental is also on WhatsApp at +61 480 198 320 for Westmead patients who prefer to message rather than call — useful for hospital staff on shift who cannot take a phone call mid-ward. Send a photo and a description, and the team will respond as soon as possible.
