Dr Leon Low
Dr Leon Low is a general dentist at Bella Dental Penrith. He holds a Bachelor of Dentistry and is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Dental Board of Australia. He is a member of the Australian Dental Association (ADA) and practises across the full scope of general dentistry for patients of all ages.
Background and training
Dr Low holds a Bachelor of Dentistry and has practised general dentistry in the Penrith area as part of the Bella Dental team. He brings a calm, methodical approach to patient care, with particular interest in restorative dentistry, endodontics, and family dentistry. Like all dentists at Bella Dental, he is committed to ongoing professional development and to keeping up with the latest evidence-based techniques.
Areas of focus
Dr Low practises across the full scope of general dentistry, with particular interest in:
- Family dentistry — care for adults, children, and seniors
- Restorative dentistry — tooth-coloured fillings, inlays, onlays, and crowns
- Endodontics — root canal treatment
- Preventive dentistry — check-ups, cleans, fissure sealants, and oral hygiene coaching
- Anxious patients — gentle, take-it-slow care for patients who have had difficult dental experiences
For complex cases (orthognathic surgery, advanced periodontics, complex implant placement, paediatric specialist work), Dr Low coordinates with a trusted network of local specialists. The patient stays at Bella Dental for the bulk of their care, with the specialist handling the specific procedure and the team at Bella Dental managing follow-up.
Approach to patient care
Dr Low’s approach is shaped by the principle that most dental problems are easier to fix when caught early. He spends time at check-ups looking for the small things — early decay, early gum disease, early wear — so patients can plan treatment before a problem becomes urgent. For patients who are anxious or who have not been to a dentist in a while, the first visit is short and focused on talking and a gentle look, not on treatment.
In practice, this means:
- A thorough but unhurried check-up at every visit
- Plain-language explanations of what we see, what we recommend, and why
- Itemised written treatment plans with item numbers and costs, so you know what is happening and why
- A gentle anaesthetic technique — topical numbing gel first, slow injection, and we always check you are numb before starting
- A clear stop signal — you can raise a hand at any time and we pause
