No matter what your smile has been through, our comprehensive dental services can help you keep your teeth healthy and replace the ones that aren't.
For over 20 years, Dr George has been honing his dentistry skills, from earning a Bachelor of Dentistry and Master of Dental Surgery in India to practicing in Dubai for many years. He has practiced in Australia since 2009. Dr George spent a lot of his childhood in his father's dental clinic in India.
After shadowing her mum who is also a dentist as she grew up, Dr Elsa learned to love the art of dentistry and decided from a young age that it was the perfect path for her. After graduating from Melbourne University in 2013, Dr Elsa joined the Rivergum Smiles team where she has most enjoyed helping patients regain confidence in their smile, getting people out of pain and changing their perception of going to the dentist.

I hate going to the dentist. I have a phobia about it. Well. My experience at Rivergum Smiles could not have been better.
I knew that I had to get my tooth out, and had been avoiding going to a dentist for at least 3 years. I held out until my mouth started aching because of the tooth.
I contacted them, they got me in quick. The dentist was amazing. Was calm and patient with me. He explained every step of what he was doing. I know this was a difficult extraction, but he did amazing. Did not feel it and the pain was minimal. Even now after having had it done. although I am in pain, it is not major

My family and I have been seeing Dr George and Lina for a few years now. Dr George is very professional, he is kind and compassionate and explains everything before he starts. I had to have two fillings done today and for the first time ever I did not want an injection. Dr George was so gentle I did not feel a thing. He continually asked if I was ok and kept drilling ever so gently. My 23 year old daughter was petrified of dentists until she met Dr George now she happily goes to see him as does my son. I highly recommend Dr George at Rivergum smiles and his assistant wife Lina they are beautiful

George is the most meticulous dentist I have known and I have seen a few across different countries. He takes so much care with your root canal procedure and refused to do a quick fill it and forget it job when I asked.
I got his contact from a friend when I had severe toothache and George was willing to come back when he was half way home after having closed shop, when I explained my predicament.
I should also mention Leena, who doubles up as his assistant and takes care of the appointments etc. Very friendly and tries to accommodate you as much as possible.

I took my 82 year old mother to see Dr George Thomas recently for some emergency dental work. I have to say both my mother and I were very impressed with Dr Thomas. He was professional and extremely patient with my elderly mother. He explained what he was doing and we never felt rushed. I took my mother to this clinic because its close to the nursing home she resides in. I usually read google reviews but there was no time. I rarely give reviews but felt impelled in this case. I have since made an appointment for myself and my children. By the way, his prices are very reasonable.
