Principal Dentist

Dr. David Joseph

Dr. David Joseph grew up in Chadstone, just a short distance from MODA, in a family that valued hard work and the pursuit of opportunities.

Born to immigrant parents from Egypt, David’s parents dedicated themselves to giving their three sons the best that Australia had to offer. From an early age, David dreamed of becoming a dentist and owning his own practice. However, after high school, he initially chose a different path and studied podiatry, working as a podiatrist for several years.

Despite his success in podiatry, David’s passion for dentistry never faded. In pursuit of his dream, he applied as a mature-age student to Charles Sturt University and completed his dental studies in Orange, NSW. Throughout his career, David has gained extensive experience working in public dentistry, with the Royal Flying Doctors, and in rural communities, which helped shape his comprehensive approach to patient care.
After returning to Melbourne, David worked at a large private dental clinic, where he honed the skills and knowledge that have shaped him into the expert dentist he is today. In 2021, David met Debbie, the love of his life, and they married in 2022. They welcomed their baby boy, Levi, in 2024, marking a beautiful new chapter for their family.

Together, David and Debbie founded MODA with a shared vision: to provide patients with expert dental care in a warm, welcoming environment. Their goal is to empower patients with knowledge and choices, helping them achieve the best aesthetic outcomes while prioritising their overall health and well-being.
