Why Gumdent

Dentistry that feels different the moment you walk in

We built Gumdent around a simple idea. High quality dental care should not feel cold or clinical. Here is what that looks like.

Highly trained professionals

Our practitioners have dedicated their careers to gentle, precise dentistry, with decades of combined experience across general, children’s and complex care.

Personalised dental care

Every patient is unique. We take the time to listen, answer your questions, and build a treatment plan around your goals, never a generic approach.

State of the art facilities

Advanced diagnostics and modern equipment in a bright, spotless surgery, for more accurate results, faster treatment and a calmer visit.

I just had teeth filling with George this morning. I felt fortunate to find him to help me. As comments by others, George operates gently meanwhile he cares about how patient feels. He constantly ask me if I'm OK and give me some breaks.

George is a fantastic dentist with really great patient care. I felt relaxed during my visit, and the clinic has such a calm and welcoming atmosphere. I had a filling done to treat my tooth sensitivity, and the whole procedure was done perfectly.
