Rivergum Smiles: Reviews
Fantastic experience: George is amazing. I had not been to the dentist regularly before coming to Rivergum smiles, due to bad experiences, George and Lena are so calm and patient that I am no longer petrified of going to the dentist for my regular checkups. I would definitely recommend this dentist.
Thank you Kimberleigh
Fantastic experience: Dr George and Lena at Rivergum Smiles offer an outstanding family dental practice. I've taken my two kids there regularly, and they've been fantastic with them - extremely professional, wonderfully child-friendly, and very approachable. Their commitment to care and compassion is truly impressive. To really understand the high level of service they provide, a visit is definitely worthwhile.
Thank you Justin

Fantastic experience: George and Lina are so professional and friendly that it almost makes the dentist a pleasure! They are so thorough, and George is always informative. Highly recommend, I know I won't go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Dr George and Lina are fantastic. I cracked a tooth on a nut a couple of nights ago and was in agony. I rang very close to closing time and Lina offered me an emergency appt the very next morning at 8am before work. The procedure was virtually painless despite being very close to the nerve as it was also a complication from an old filling. , Dr George was so incredibly gentle yet thorough. What I noticed is is he really takes great care in getting the bite right in the end. I’ve had so many times I’ve had to return to previous dentists as finish was uneven. Not this one! Very thorough and feels normal very next day. I was able to to work straight after and was no longer in so much pain. Thank you George and Lina. I will be bringing my little ones here too!
Fantastic experience: Went today for the first time and was blown away. Professional, clean and very helpful. Will definitely be a regular
Fantastic experience: Today I visited this dentist for the first time for a clean & check up. Dentist was Dr Ancey. She was so gentle, patient, calm and thoroughly explained everything. I will definitely return. Highly recommended. Lina (assistant) was lovely too. Thankyou
Fantastic experience: Dr George was fantastic. Calm, professional and supportive. I could not be happier with the service provided.

Fantastic experience: Great service with a personal touch
Fantastic experience: George is an absolute gem. He always gives the most informative advice. Giving you different options for the best oral health for you. The dentist is not my favourite place to be but George is so gentle and talks you through every step of the procedure. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: 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. It was also not overpriced for the work he did. Having only lived in the area 2 yeas or so, I think I have found my new dentist.To finish off, he explained that I would get a call in couple of days to make sure I was okay. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: 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 people and you will be as happy as my family are. Thank you Dr George and Lina stay well stay safe :)
Negative experience: Excellent service in pulling out your teeth.. Exceptionally poor service in providing after Care ! May GP take care of the rest of it!!
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful. With an unbearable pain, they have provided me an appointment in 5 minutes. Dr George Thomas is a professional, treated me as a family member. May Allah’s mercy and blessings upon you and your institution. Thank you again.
Fantastic experience: Very good Doctor Thomas. And good staff I love this place to check my teeth Thank you Doctor
Fantastic experience: I was very worried about finding a new dentist, but as soon as I met George and his assistant they made me feel comfortable. He explained everything he was doing and was very caring. I was very happy with the results.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and gentle dentist. I was a walk-in, (once-off visit) because I lives on the other side of town, and still i got outstanding un-rushed service , care and advice. Very happy. Thank you . From Rita
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: Very good service what can I say I recommend them 100% Dr George and team provided a warm safe environment. They always know how to make me feel comfortable at all times. Always supportive with what I want to plan and how I go about it. I have been to alot of dentists you are not going to found one like rivergum smilies
Fantastic experience: Had my RCT done in few sittings a year back. Though, I had pretty big and deep rooted third molar but, Dr. George did it skilfully. Not only did he save my tooth but made it pain free and still going good.
Fantastic experience: True professionals and great staff.
Negative experience: SCAM!!! Used the majority of our child dental Medicare money and then we had to go a proper dentist to fix all up all there mistakes, avoid!!!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Fantastic experience: I really appreciate Dr.George and his team in providing such a great service at reasonable fees. I would highly recommend Rivergum smiles to all
Fantastic experience: Excellent service by Dr. George and his team.. I am really happy with the service. They are doing a great service at very reasonable fees and I am truely satisfied with their service. The way they treat the kids is really amazing. My kids were never so comfortable with any dentist before. I would highly recommend Rivergum Smiles to all. Thank you very much Dr. George and team!!
Fantastic experience: Truly professional dental clinic with a very friendly staff. I am very much satisfied with George for my orthodontic correction. He's very meticulous with his work. And all this comes at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended..
Fantastic experience: GREAT SERVICE WITH REASONABLE CHARGES! I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICES I RECEIVED FOR ME AND MY SON FROM DR. GEORGE AND HIS TEAM. I WOULD RECOMMEND RIVERGUM SMILES HAPPILY TO ANYONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Negative experience: ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! If I could give less of a review I would, from the very start of my brother's treatment there were constant problems, my brother was left with his braces continuously falling apart as it was never done correctly, he was always blamed for being "too rough with them" and told about all these extra charges he would face, YET over 5 times when his wire came out it was due to him EATING, this should NOT have happened. We discussed a payment plan which would see the treatment being paid off over a 24 month period, my brother has been treated for less than 6 months and the clinic has been DEMANDING payment otherwise they will cease his treatment. Then today they rang up after constant disgusting phone calls saying that they expect FULL PAYMENT and they are TERMINATING his treatment. We had also asked them to provide us with an itomised treatment plan so we can claim it on Medibank Private and he DID NOT KNOW how to do this for us, something that every orthodontist should KNOW how to do !!!! Absolutely disgusting, money hungry people! DO NOT GO HERE! We will also be consulting with small claim tribunal to receive a compensation of the payment that was already made!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and excellent service. I walked in with broken teeth and walked out like nothing ever happened. Dr. George fixed my teeth so perfectly. Rivergum Smiles is a safe and trusted place to walk in to if you have any dental problem.
Fantastic experience: Very professional service, lovely staff that made me feel comfortable as soon as i walked in. I generally fear dental appointments, but i know that this dentist will take great care of me! Fantastic.
