Dr Mario Wais (Principal Dentist)

Dr Mario Wais  HeadshotDr Mario Wais has practised dentistry since 1990, relocating to Australia and requalifying at the University of Adelaide in 1999. He has completed more than 600 hours of continuing education across oral implantology, crowns and bridges, root canal care, pain control and other areas of advanced dentistry.

Committed to continually expanding his knowledge, Dr Mario completed postgraduate implantology training at the University of Mandic in 2026, including practical education in implant placement, bone grafting, membrane techniques and sinus lift procedures. This ongoing education helps him provide contemporary implant care informed by current techniques and technology.

As a preventive dentist, Dr Mario is keen to promote therapeutic methods that preserve natural teeth and reduce the risk of concerns such as tooth loss and gum disease. He is a member of the Australian Dental Association and is fluent in Spanish.

Taking the Pain Out of Dentistry

Dr Mario has a special interest in treatments such as crowns, bridges, root canal therapy and cosmetic dentistry. He has also undertaken further education in pain control, hypnosis and sedation dentistry, helping him take a calm and considerate approach to patients who may feel anxious about dental care.

Dental Mentor and Coach

As the principal dentist in our practice, Dr Mario devotes a tremendous amount of time mentoring and training new dentists in key areas of patient care, preventive treatments and pain control.

His guidance allows him to promote a shared vision throughout not just our own practice, but the dental industry as a whole. He tells his trainees to “be the dentist the patient needs; don’t try to create the perfect patient for yourself.” Through his coaching, he trains practitioners on how to better communicate with their patients, fully meeting their needs and expectations.

From his first moment in University, Dr Mario knew that becoming a dentist was the right career choice. “I had no idea that dentistry was going to be so amazing,” he says, “I like people…I try to understand what they need, want and where they’re coming from.”

Outside of the Office

In his time away from work, Dr Mario enjoys the Argentinian tango and Latin salsa. He also supports the local Children’s Hospital, Muscular Dystrophy association, the Cancer Foundation, and many others.
