Brookvale Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I was waking at night in excruciating pain in my jaw...initially since it was only at night I was hoping it was some kind of stress induced clenching of the jaw and would be remedied with some jaw treatment. However the pain increased to during the day and beyond manageable pain when I tried to eat or drink hot or cold. So I knew I had to "bite the bullet' and see a dentist. I had avoided having my teeth checked for over 10 years due to a intense needly phobia. I saw some great reviews at this practice and booked in. The staff very very kind and supportive and worst case scenario- a rotten tooth needing extraction and two needles. I have to say it was the kindness of the dentist and his staff that helped me go through this procedure a lot better than I thought I could. Thank you so much for your empathy and kindness that helped me get through my tooth extraction. There was little to no pain and it's probably the best i have ever coped with having needles in my life. Highly recommend this clinic to everyone!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and trusting us after such a long time away from the dentist—we’re so glad our team could make you feel comfortable and supported. Appreciate your recommendation and are happy to hear you’re feeling better!

Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service from beginning to end. Dr. Allan was exceptional with my anxious daughter. He took the time to ease her fears, explaining each step with patience and a friendly demeanor. His attentiveness and excellent customer service made the visit comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a caring and skilled and thorough dentist.
Thank you for your kind words—we're so glad to have made your daughter's visit a positive experience, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Dr Allan Lam and the team at Brookvale Dental for 3 years now.... I will never regret making the switch from my previous dentist. I have come so far, my anxiety and fear now so well managed that I can do a full consultation and clean with just my music (and a fidget spinner, thanks Karen!) I am so so thankful to Allan, Karen and the team at this place for helping me so much in this journey. Clean, comfortable, super professional .. appts always run to schedule, always very friendly and caring I absolutely recommend this practice if you have even the slightest bit of dental anxiety.... if I can overcome this, anyone can! Thanks so much Brookvale Dental

Fantastic experience: From the huge welcoming smile Karen greets you with at the door to the warm and understanding bedside manner shown by Dr Allan. Brookvale dentist hits all the right notes. Would recommend these guys to everyone, particularly if you're someone who going to the dentist is something you try to avoid. You are in good hands with this team. They are fantastic.
Thanks so much Ryan, appreciate the kinds words for the whole team!

Fantastic experience: Allan is an excellent dentist not only does he do a great job but he takes the fear out of going to the dentist. I highly recommend him and his team who are friendly and professional at all times.
Thank you so much Vicki, it's been a pleasure taking care of you and removing the fear out of seeing the dentist
Fantastic experience: Brookvale Dental is absolutely amazing! Dr Alan is a wonderful dentist who is highly skilled, gentle, friendly and patient. Dr Alan checks in with you every step of the way making sure you are comfortable and at ease. My experiences have been painless, well explained and i have never felt overwhelmed. The whole team at Brookvale Dental from reception & assistance make everyone feel so welcome and cared for. A very different experience to other dental practices I had used to in the past. Thank you Dr Alan and team!

Highly recommended.
Wow. We're blown away Will! Thanks so much for your amazing review, greatly appreciated
Fantastic experience: After 7 years of hopping between different dentists across Sydney and the Northern Beaches, I never quite felt satisfied. Each time I needed a check-up, I'd spend ages searching for a new dentist—until I discovered Brookvale Dental! Dr. Allan has been a game-changer. During each appointment, they take the time to walk you through every step of the check-up and cleaning process, making sure you're informed and comfortable. There's no rush—they genuinely listen to your concerns and are always happy to answer any questions. From the ease of online booking to the friendly, personalised service at every visit, the entire team at Brookvale Dental is fantastic. I can't recommend them enough! (And I mean it—I once recommended them to a friend and received a handwritten thank-you note along with a small gift. How sweet is that?)
We're blown away by your kind words Brunna! Thanks so much for your support
Fantastic experience: I can say with 100% certainty that my first visit with Dr Lam today was the best dental experience I have had in 53 years of living. I have found my new Dentist! The aftercare as well was second to none.
Thank you, Max! We're truly grateful for your kind words and praises
Fantastic experience: I’ve always had a slight fear of dentist trips and was very nervous to try a new dental clinic. I have just finished root canal treatment and I can’t thank Dr Allan Lam and his team enough. I have never been to a dentist where I’ve experienced this level of care and attentiveness - always checking that you're ok throughout treatments, receiving follow up calls from Karen on reception to ensure you are ok after treatments, overall kindness shown by the whole team. Outstanding dental practice! Thank you so much for making my visits to the dentist less anxiety-ridden!
Thank you so much Jessica!! We appreciate your kind words and always do our best to make it as pleasant as possible
Fantastic experience: Allan is a friendly experienced dentist who explains clearly what you wish to know. He and his staff are very respectful and thoughtful. I’d be happy to recommend him.
Thank you, Liz! Always appreciate your kind and thoughtful words
Fantastic experience: Dr Alan and his assistant were very kind , professional and thorough. I was very lucky to find this dentist because I just moved to the area which I don’t know, and I have very sensitive gums and teeth. Dr Alan not only did a thorough inspection and clean but he took the time to ask questions and check in as he went along. I highly recommend to go to this dentist.
We're also lucky to have met such a lovely person with a great smile! Thanks Joanne for your amazing review
Fantastic experience: Allan, Karen and Co are so accomodating, proffessional and comforting, and welcoming, going to the dentist is easy, pleasant and pain free with Brookvale dental Highly recommend Allan to take care of all things dental health for you and your family
You're so lovely Jennifer, thanks so much for the kind words and support!
Fantastic experience: Dr Allan Lam is extraordinarily caring and gentle - always checking that you're ok while doing any procedure. He explains everything in great detail and always makes sure you know exactly what is going to happen, and keeps you informed all the way through any procedure. All the staff are welcoming and kind. Best dental practice we have ever been to. I can't recommend Allan and his team highly enough!
Thanks so much Mandi!! So kind of you to leave such a wonderful review of our team
Fantastic experience: Dr Lam has been taking care of my teeth for a while, and now my children are seeing him too. He is personable, upfront, thorough and a perfectionist. I highly recommend him and his practice.
Thanks so much Lee-Ann for your kind words! It was a pleasure looking after your beautiful kids
Fantastic experience: Efficient caring staff focussed on your teeth and their best treatment. Great location in Brookvale, easy on-site parking (and close to the bus stop). The practice was recommended to me when I was seeking a new dentist. A good choice.
Thank you so much Julie! Truly appreciate the kind words
Fantastic experience: I was anxious about going to a new dentist, but the whole experience was extremely positive. Everyone at Brookvale Dental was friendly and welcoming. Dr Allan was very patient and careful, and he took the time to explain everything that he was doing. Thank you!
Thank you so much Lucas for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate your kind words
Fantastic experience: Much deserved 5 stars!! Brilliant and friendly service from Karen on the phone and with the mouth vac :) Allan is a very kind, caring and informative dentist. Thank you !
Thanks so much Adam for your kind words, it was a pleasure meeting you!
Fantastic experience: OUTSTANDING dentist and staff. I’m in my 60’s and have been to many dentist’s and this is definitely the best experience I have had . Gentle, friendly approach by Allan. Reasonable priced. Cheaper than 2 other dentists . I feel very comfortable and confident under his care. Allan really listens and he really genuinely cares. It shows. The work I had was great he picked up things other dentists didn’t and he has a very pleasant manner . The staff offer you a drink, and if you have had a needle you get a follow up call to check in with you . How good is that ! The staff are super cheerful, happy, friendly and helpful. They do their very best to make sure you get an appointment you need . Karen on reception deserves a gold ⭐️ no one could give better support than her as well as the others .
Thank you so much Simone. You're very generous with your praises! It was a pleasure looking after you. Thanks so much for the kind words
Fantastic experience: I took my son to Dr Allen after he had a string of horrific and painful experiences with other dentists which left him terrified of going to any doctors office. My son instantly took to Dr Allen, given his patience and fatherly approach when treating kids. Not only that, we have never needed to return for "touch ups" on any work Dr Allen has done. He is very thorough and all work is carried out to an impeccable standard. My son recently had a major filling and actually fell asleep in the chair while Dr Allen was operating!! That is how gentle Dr Allen is I recommend Dr Allen to all I know. I also have to give a special shout out to their receptionist and dental assistant - what supportive and approachable people!
Thanks so much Jade for your amazing review! He is so relaxed when he comes here
Fantastic experience: Absolutely sensational operation on all levels. Pleasant, diligent, timely, caring, effective, Karen and Allan are super humans! I'd go far as saying the very best operation I've ever experienced as a patient, of any type of health care practice. They've managed to make "going to the dentist" a pleasurable moment for me. Hats off to you guys, don't change a thing!
Oh wow thank you so much for such an amazing review!! Dental visits are certainly rarely pleasurable, so we do our best to try and change the stigma. Thanks again we really appreciate the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended Dr Allan and his professional team.
Thank you so much Jerry! It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday and taking care of you
Fantastic experience: Amazing dentist, would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you for your great service.
Thanks so much James!! It's been our pleasure looking after you
Fantastic experience: I had my second appointment since 3 years ago with this great practice. Allan and his assistant were amazing. I have honestly never come across a more attentive and caring dentist in my life. Dr Lam was very transparent through the whole appointment, he also gave me a wide range of options to suit my financial needs with the issues that have cropped up with my teeth. Thank you so much for your honesty and for making my visits to the dentist less anxiety-ridden, not just regarding pain but financially (I find that part more scary than the pain with a dentist lol) You have a lifetime client in me now
Wow we're absolutely blown away with your kind words! Thank you so much Nikeeta, it was such a pleasure looking after you
Fantastic experience: Very good dentist
Thanks so much Daniel, it was a pleasure meeting you yesterday!☺
Fantastic experience: I usually cringe at a dentist visit, but not this time! The whole experience at Brookvale Dental with Dr Allan Lam was very comfortable, efficient and professional. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much Martine! It was lovely meeting you as well and our absolute pleasure looking after you
Fantastic experience: Dr Erika was quietly efficient, very kind, gentle & encouraging throughout all of the dental procedures I have had. I am impressed by her clear communication & listening skills, as well as her expertise, empathy & results. I highly recommend her & this practice to all. It is in a league of its own.
Thanks for your kind words, Maureen. We truly appreciate it
Fantastic experience: Dr Allan Lam and his friendly and professional dental team have been my wife and my dentist for the past year or so and it always have been a delight to see him and his team for any dental check ups and clean since he puts in that extra effort and care than most dentists I have been to. He has also referred our newborn son to a paediatric dental specialist without any hesitation when I mentioned about his issue. I definitely highly recommend Dr Allan Lam and his team for any dental needs!
Thanks James really appreciate your kind words!! Always a pleasure looking after you and your family☺
Fantastic experience: Allan and the team were my new dentists and faced with a large repair job on my teeth after a long orthodontic treatment. Allan programmed the work and completed it very successfully in the shortest time. I am looking forward to the Brookvale Dental team being my ongoing dentists. Geoffrey Way
Thanks so much Geoffrey! It's been our pleasure looking after you
Fantastic experience: Amazing! Fantastic dentist & dental team, whose patience & calm personalities make our dental visits very comfortable.
Thanks Daniel! Always a pleasure looking after you and your family
Fantastic experience: Always great service here, Dr Allan and his team are always welcoming, friendly and professional. Highly recommend them!
Thanks so much Shelley, you're always super-friendly yourself!
Fantastic experience: My experience at Brookvale Dental has always been very positive. My periodontist has also commented on the excellent work.
Thanks so much David, always a pleasure looking after you
Fantastic experience: Dr Allan and team are absolutely fabulous and would highly recommend their dental expertise. There is parking on site/nearby and there is coffee and bottled water on arrival. As someone who is very nervous of going to the dentist, Dr Allan is always very patient, gentle, gives me the full picture of my treatment plan as well as many options and his advice. Karen always phones to remind me of my appt and check-in post any treatment to see how I am feeling - I'm always very grateful of this. It's such a pleasant experience visiting Brookvale dental, I would recommend to anyone located in Northern beaches and surrounds.
Thanks so much to you both for your amazing review! It has truly been such a pleasure looking after you
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Allan has been my dentist for the last 18 months, and now he's looking after the rest of my family. He and his team are professional, kind and bring a positive energy to their service delivery that is hard to find, and although I'm not 'fond of the dentist' I always enjoy seeing Dr Allan.
Thanks so much Michael. You're too generous with your praises and kind words. Always enjoy seeing you and your family too
Fantastic experience: Great staff, skilled dentist ... I felt heard and my problem was diagnosed quickly. I always felt comfortable and cared for. A fast efficient dentist who achieved a LOT in a short time. 100% Happy
Thanks so much Jenny! It was such a pleasure meeting you
Fantastic experience: We had the most amazing experience at Brookvale Dental! These guys are professional and genuinely care about their patients. This family is now patients for life.
Thanks so much Albert! It was a pleasure taking care of your family
Fantastic experience: Genuinely the most incredible customer service!! Dr Lam is fantastic, and the team do their absolute best on all fronts. Karen is just the best from start to finish!
Thank you so much! And yes we agree, Karen is definitely the best from start to finish
Fantastic experience: What a lovely dentist and friendly person! So compassionate and kind.
Thank you Maurice! Always great seeing you and finding out what you've been up to. Will be in touch!
Fantastic experience: Recently I visited Dr Allan Lam for treatment of my impacted wisdom tooth. Thankfully he was able to fit me in at short notice. Being my child care day I arrived with my 2 grandchildren in tow only to find Dr Allan most welcoming of them into the dental room. Karen (his friendly, cheerful receptionist) provided them with pencils and super hero colouring sheets. Dr Allan very efficiently relieved my tooth pain with his gentle hands and delightful assistant Leanna. My grand-daughter, being extremely curious about the whole procedure asked Dr Allan to count her teeth. Dr Allan has a wonderful and fun manner with children and asked them both would they like him to check their teeth. They both eagerly took their turn and enjoyed the whole experience. On leaving they were presented with their own package containing a dental kit wth lots of stickers and a 2 minute tooth timer to use when brushing their teeth. Needless to say they were both extremely grateful and happy. I have been seeing Dr Allan for several years now and truly always have such a pleasant time that it’s more like visiting a good friend than a dreaded trip to the dentist. Thank you Dr Allan, Karen and Leanna Smiles Jen
Jen...as always you are so generous and kind with your words. It's such a pleasure seeing you and the grandkids. They're absolutely beautiful and welcome anytime you're around
Fantastic experience: Our family has been clients of Brookvale Dental for may years and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Alan explains everything thoroughly during the appointment and makes you feel very confident in what he is doing. All the staff are friendly and helpful and it makes you feel very much at ease.
Thanks so much Judy for your kind words. Always such a pleasure seeing you and catching up!
Fantastic experience: Dr Allan is excellent with kids who are fearful of dentists… Appreciate his work
Thank you so much for the review We always enjoy our catch-ups and seeing your lovely kids!
Fantastic experience: Allan and his team were professional, friendly, and did an excellent job. I had been looking for a new dentist for some time and I'm very glad to have found Brookvale Dental.
Thanks so much David! Appreciate the support and your kind words
Fantastic experience: I cannot rate this practice highly enough! I changed from another dentist to Brookvale Dental and they have been amazing in every respect. Customer-focused, professional, caring and incredible communication from every person in their Team. Alan Lim is a true gem - best dentist and practice ever!
Thank you Lisa for the generous and kind compliments! Always lovely seeing your smiling face
Fantastic experience: Visited Brookvale Dental through a friend's recommendation. Had my teeth cleaned by Dr. Allan and his team. Very professional, streamline and had a lovely experience. Dr. Allan answered all my questions and the overall experience was great.
Thank you so much Yeech! It was an absolute pleasure meeting you
Fantastic experience: I’d give 6 stars if I could. They fit me in short notice and the entire experience was awesome. Best dentist I’ve been to. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much Josh, it was a pleasure helping you out! We truly appreciate your amazing review.
Fantastic experience: My family has been going to Brookvale Dental for many years. The service we have received during this time, has always been consistently excellent. The current staff are very professional and friendly, Dr Allan Lam in particular, is exceptional. He is very knowledgeable in all that is dentistry, a good listener and has a calming bedside manner. The practice is clean, tidy and always welcoming. I highly recommend you consider Brookvale Dental, you will not be disappointed.
Thanks so much for your kind words We always try our best to make the dental visits pleasant and more of a catch-up!
Fantastic experience: Have been to so many dental clinics in Sydney myself, Allan and his team is definitely the best one, and obviously Allan is the best dentist I can ever remember. He always explains everything, focuses on details, takes care of everything and makes you feel comfortable. I have moved away from that suburb this year, however I still drive 2 hours ish return to visit Allan for my regular dental checks. Highly recommended if you are looking for a long term dentist in northern beaches.
Thank you so much, Max! Especially travelling so far for your dental trips, it really means a lot to us. You are too kind with your compliments!
Fantastic experience: Our family has been going to Brookvale Dental for years. We have found them to be very personable and extremely knowledgeable with up to date equipment and practices. Their aim is to make you feel as comfortable as possible from the moment you walk through the front door. The dentist, Dr Alan Lam, is very professional and genuinely committed to resolving your dental issues. The receptionist, Karen, is friendly, efficient and always greets you with a smile. The overall service is second to none from our experience.
Thank you so much Tod for taking the time and writing such a lovely review. It's always a pleasure looking after your family
Fantastic experience: Dr Allan is one of most amazing dentist, colleague and genuine person you will find. His caring for his patients is second to none. Any person under his care should consider as a blessing. Strongly recommended. Dr Ben
Thank you Ben for your kind words. This means so much to me and it truly brought a smile to my face
Fantastic experience: Allan Lam is the best dentist! He always makes sure I'm comfortable and not in any discomfort when getting work done. Allan is always happy to explain in detail the work I need and he makes sure to answer all my questions. I have found Dr Allan to be a very kind and caring dentist, I was a little apprehensive to find a new dentist in last year but 100% I couldn't be happier with Allan, Karen on the front desk and the rest of the team. I'll never need to look for another dentist again!
Thanks Elle! The words "comfortable" and "dentist" rarely go hand-in-hand but we do our best!
Fantastic experience: I first saw Allan when I was having a less than ideal experience with HCF Dental. Brookvale Dental have been nothing short of amazing. Karen is wonderfully friendly at reception and efficiently manages bookings. Allan and Liana are kind, sincere, accommodating and professional. They have gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable (& less anxious) in the chair. My entire family now attend the practice and they are indulgently kind and patient with my 9 & 3 year old. They provide me with the consistency and peace of mind I expected (but did not get) from my previous dentist. Highly recommend. 10 star service!
Wow Priscilla we're blown away by your review! Thanks so much for the amazing words
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, friendly and thorough.
Thanks so much John for your great feedback and review!
Fantastic experience: Allan the crew are awesome…
Thanks so much Peter, was a pleasure meeting you and thanks for the kind words!
Positive experience: I can recommend Allan & the team at Brookvale Dental, they staff are professional, efficient and easy to deal with.
Thanks so much for your kind words William. We really appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: Dr Allan was very kind, patient, easy to talk to with a calm and friendly demeanour, which put me completely at ease. The dental nurses and lovely Karen at the front desk were also very calm and welcoming. The dental treatment I received was painless, fast and affordable.
Thank you so much Amanda! It was such a pleasure meeting you as well
Fantastic experience: The best dental practice in Sydney by far! Allan is such a professional and caring dentist who always spends time with his patients to give them the best advice. The practice is very clean and well presented with his lovely staff helping him deliver a world class dental experience!! 5 stars to the team at Brookvale Dental, but if there were more stars to give this place I would!!
Wow thanks Tony, you've made our day! We love spending time with each person to get to know who they are and what they want before giving you the options
Fantastic experience: Absolutely outstanding dentist! Strongly recommend!
Thanks so much for your review, Jack! It was a pleasure helping you out.
Fantastic experience: Allan is an extraordinarily skilled and reassuring dentist. I've had a crown fitted and three fillings recently and all were done with no pain and the utmost care. I would recommend Brookvale Dental to everyone, but particularly those that are anxious about a visit to the dentist.
Thanks for your kind words, David! It really makes our day when we receive feedback like this!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr Allan Lam and the team at Brookvale Dental. Incredibly professional and very friendly service.
Thanks so much Chris! Appreciate the kind words. Look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Fantastic experience: Professional and caring service with state of the art technology. You couldn't wish for better dental care than that provided by Allan and his staff.
Thank you Phil! Your kind words mean so much to us.
Fantastic experience: By far and away the best dentist and dental practice I have used. When I moved to Brookvale Dental I had had some horrible and unsatisfactory experiences at my prior dentist of 10 years. Alan is gentle, caring, thorough and efficient as well as being reasonably priced. His staff are lovely and friendly. The surgery is modern and well equipped. My entire family have relocated to Alan at Brookvale Dental and are all very happy they did so.
Thanks so much Carmel you are too kind! We love seeing you and your family, and appreciate your support
Fantastic experience: Allan was extremely gentle and settled this very nervous patient quickly. I was reassured throughout my procedure, had no pain or discomfort and can highly recommend Dr Allan.
Thank you Denise! You are too kind. It was our pleasure looking after you!
Fantastic experience: Super-competent, modern, clean, organised and very, very nice. What else? Thoughtful, careful about pain - basically not causing any, Allan Lam seems genuinely interested in his patients and their well-being, teeth of course, and more. The office is small, and unassuming, but that's fine - warm, friendly reception and care.
You're too sweet with your words Caroline, thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Brookvale Dental for over 35 years and will continue to do so as I have found Dr Allan an exceptional dentist. He is very through, explains the treatment required and I believe that he is a very caring dentist. I would like to thank him publicly for fitting me into an unannounced appointment when I needed some urgent dental work for severe pain. Thank you to all the team at Brookvale Dental.
Thanks so much Dominic! Your kind words have made our day!
Fantastic experience: Dr Allan Lam is the best dentist I've been to in as long as I can remember - and that's a long time. He's careful, explains everything, presents you with options and strives for perfection in his work. There was a patient leaving today as I arrived. He'd clearly not been to the dentist in a while and had been pretty apprehensive. He said that Dr Allan had made him feel comfortable and had taken care of everything. He was so happy and relieved. That's the impact a great dentist can have.
Thanks for for amazing kind words John! It means so much to us
Fantastic experience: I HAVE FOUND MY LIFE LONG DENTIST!!!! Allan and the whole team always make me feel so comfortable and have changed my thought pattern on booking my check up appointments. now I am strongly motivated to keep up my appointments and actually enjoy having my check ups and other work carried out by the team. Kind caring and gentle. Thanks again Allan
Wow we're floored by your amazing words!! Thank you so much Bart it's really made our day!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at Brookvale Dental. Dr Lam was friendly and professional. He was thorough in his examinations and procedures and explained everything to me. He was good with my children as he was able to make the experience for them fun .
Thanks Assia! Your kids were wonderful considering it was their first time! We look forward to seeing you all again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr Allan and Liana for our wonderful visit today. We always feel so comfortable with you. An amazing job on our 6 year olds first filling and my 2 fillings. Thank you
Thanks Kim...always a pleasure seeing you and your beautiful family
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and approachable, always willing to go above and beyond especially through COVID when I broke my jaw and needed it
Thanks so much for the kind words Billy! Been a pleasure looking after you and your family.
Fantastic experience: Both myself and Andrew saw Allan in the same week. Covid = teeth not good. Also new dentist = not good. But Allan was brilliant, I really mean brilliant. I was shocked at how he was truly interested in my past with my teeth and how I felt? I have never been asked that before, normally lie down. Andrew (hubby) said "Best Dentist I have ever been to" Andrew does not throw out praise easily I can promise you that. Seriously the Dentist is very very clean, easy to get to, normal pricing and fancy equipment. Big improvements coming in the future as well, we can already book on line which I love. Tell him Linda sent you and ask for a free toothbrush.... hehehehehe, See you next week Allan (not jumping with joy, but at least I still have all my own teeth haha) Linda and Andrew Brenner
What a lovely review! Thank you both for your kind words, it really means a lot!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Allan for your genuine care, patience and skill. I must be hands down the most anxious patient and just getting me into the chair is a skill!! I absolutely recommend Dr Allan and his team. :)
Thanks for your kind words Mandy! You're welcome into the chair anytime you want...even for a chat! We always enjoy your visits :)
Fantastic experience: Allan is such a wonderful dentist who always does a fabulous job at explaining everything he finds and does so that I know exactly what’s going on with my health and my options! Very friendly and welcoming every time I go, as well as the lovely receptionists Bianca, Lanka and Brooke. Allan goes above and beyond to get to know you and even gave me a lovely present for one of my achievements! A fabulous practice full of very thoughtful staff. I would highly recommend it!
Thanks so much Gen! It's always a pleasure having you visit and seeing someone who is interested in their teeth. You'd make a great dentist yourself!
Fantastic experience: Amazing service! I'm not the biggest fan of the dentist but can't speak higher of Allan & team. They are a dream & made going to the dentist so much better than I've ever experienced before. Carefully explaining every step in great detail & checking in to see if everything was okay, just a totally refreshing experience! Thank you :)
Thanks so much Melissa! Not often do you get the word "refreshing" to describe a dental visit but we love it!
Fantastic experience: Dr Allan & the team always giving great honest advice and service. Would absolutely recommend
Thanks so much Lewis! It's always a pleasure seeing you and your fantastic smile!
Fantastic experience: Dr Lam showed me exceptional professionalism and care. He was able to source the cause of my problem and sort it out immediately. He is the only one I trust with the family’s teeth.
Thanks so much for your kind words Sulav! We look forward to meeting the rest of your family!
Fantastic experience: I went to Brookvale Dental due to an urgent fix for my elderly mum's broken tooth. I found Allan and his team to be amazing right from the booking. He fixed the broken front tooth today and have to say it was done carefully. I couldn't even tell because the colour match was near perfect to her existing tooth. He really cares and followed up with a phone call to check on me. Carol the receptionist was caring and a pleasure to deal with, even offered me coffee. The nurse was also very caring that my mum felt at ease. Overall a great experience and will be visiting him when my family needs a dentist again.
Thanks Ajay for the wonderful feedback on the whole team!
Fantastic experience: Allan is extremely professional, but it goes far beyond this, he takes an interest in the care and lives of his patients.
Thank you Judith! Getting to know our clients is the most rewarding aspect of our work by far.
Fantastic experience: The experience of having dental work done by Allan & his team was first rate. Excellent personal & professional service done with charm & wit make for pleasant visits.
Thanks so much Kay. It is always such a delight having you visit and I can honestly say you bring a smile to my face every time we meet. The smile is hidden under my mask but I am smiling
Fantastic experience: I visited Dr Lam today for my crown, his consultation rooms are very spacious and hygienic. He was very professional and explained the procedure thoroughly. Dr Allan is gentle and makes sure you are comfortable throughout the procedures. Highly recommended!!
Thanks so much Lanfang! It's been a pleasure seeing you the past few weeks.
Fantastic experience: Great experience at Brookvale Dental! For the first time in my life, I don’t dread going to the dentist. Dr Allan is kind and gentle, and puts you at ease straight away. He truly cares about his patients and their teeth. The work he has done on my teeth is exceptional... my smile has never looked better. If I could give Brookvale Dental more than 5 stars, I would!
Thanks so much for your kind words! You've always had a beautiful smile and a beautiful personality to match!
Fantastic experience: Hi everyone, If you are looking for a way to introduce the dentist to the little ones, I can’t praise and recommend Brookvale Dental enough. I had a dentist appointment there on Saturday (best dentist I’ve been to) and we took my son who is 2 1/2yo for an introduction. The dentist, Alan, has a 2 year old at home so is very aware of how to approach them. My son is super shy when meeting new people, but within 10 mins he was opening his mouth to have his teeth counted. He was also given little mirrors, a tooth brush and a little book, and allowed to push the button for my X-rays. He had a great time. We’ll take him again in the next couple of months with my partners and maybe next time he might sit in the chair. Absolutely recommend this practice. Brilliant.
Alicia wow! Thanks so much for your review, it has really made our day! The long-term goal is to get him into the chair by himself with Mum and Dad outside, it's a slow process but can be done
Fantastic experience: Alan is very caring and quality of his work is just excellent. Best dentist I could find in Northern Beaches. I needed a lot of complicated dental work done. I was in pain and badly treated at other dentists. Highly recommend Brookvale Dental for their friendly approach and high standard.
Wow thanks so much for your kind words Viliam! We always look after our clients as we would like to be treated ourselves.
Fantastic experience: Not only an excellent dentist but.he.can answer my digital questions .
Thanks Dianne! Bring in your IT/phone/tablet questions anytime!
Fantastic experience: As advanced as dental technology is towards minimizing pain, root canal treatment causes a significantly higher level of anxiety than regular check-up. At the finish of my treatment, I am most appreciative of the thoroughness of my dentist Allan Lam. Explaining each and every next step relaxed me and resulted in my being prepared and accepting of the ‘discomfort’ of the treatment. Allan personally following through by phone to make sure that I was OK was unexpected as it was welcome. Exceptional care.
Thanks so much for you kind words Michele! We always treat others how we would like to be treated ourselves and reading your review puts a smile on our face.
Fantastic experience: Well done Allan on my new smile, it’s taken ten years off my age, no kidding, thank you again you were very professional, and the right price to boot! Highly recommend
Thanks Stephen! It's been great seeing the progress of your smile transformation.
Fantastic experience: Very Professional and Welcoming. I have had very bad experiences with other dentists Which he alleviate all bad experiences from. I travel quiet the distance to come here for his services which he provides professionally at all times and is always happy to have a chat with his patients before and after consultations.
Thanks Connor always a pleasure seeing you and catching up!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful
Thanks Chris! It's always a pleasure seeing you and having our friendly chats.
Fantastic experience: Delivers excellent service. From booking to follow up. Always clear with price of treatment and patient expectations. Dr Allan has gentle hands and I could not recommend him more. He has looked after myself and my husband (who is not fond of the chair and had a tricky extraction). He came out just fine, like a kitten. The team are great. Thank you Carol!

Fantastic experience: Like all his other patients, I am completely satisfied with his service and professional expertise. Most welcoming and friendly staff. But what impressed me most is Dr Allan will go all his way to look after my best interest. He is sincere and genuine caring for his patients. Thank you Dr Allan and his team for taking good care of my dental health.
Thanks so much for such kind words! We always try to go the extra mile when we care for our lovely clients and treat everyone like how we would like to be treated ourselves.
Fantastic experience: Brookvale Dental Clinic is a truly amazing place. Exceptional service right from the start. Dr Lam is a professional of highest standard, who treats his patients with genuine care for their well-being. My wife and I have been using his services for many years, and while we currently live very far, we don't mind travelling long distance to get into Dr Lam's capable hands. We highly recommend this clinic to all the locals, as well as not just the locals (like us!). Best wishes to all:-)
Thanks Andrei! It's always a pleasure seeing you and your wife. You've followed me for so long you it feels like catching up with old friends whenever we meet!
