I recently visited Balgowlah Family Dental Practice and saw Dr. Mario David. Let me start by saying what a great experience! From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Dr. Mario took the time to explain everything clearly and honestly. The treatment was smooth and efficient. Highly recommended!

We’ve been coming to Helen for over 15 years, and her expertise and care of our aged, worn and torn teeth has been truly amazing. Also very appreciative of her ‘chair side’ manner and her warm engagement.

My old tooth broke and Dr Mario was able to fit me in quickly. His great chair side manner relaxed me while he rebuilt my tooth. Thanks!

I had a good experience at this dentist, I felt like Dr Mario did a very thorough job. I was also given VR glasses with images on them to wear while my teeth were being cleaned which was a nice distraction.

The team here are excellent, always very warm and welcoming. Dr Mario is incredibly knowledgeable, pragmatic, and thoughtful (he has even added VR goggles that you can wear during treatment). Would highly recommend

Yes, we love seeing kids. We recommend a first visit around age 2. It’s relaxed, fun and more of a meet-and-greet than a full check-up. Getting children comfortable early makes a genuine difference to their long-term dental health.
