The Team

Edgars Rd Dental has been providing Thomastown with quality services for more than 3 decades.

Dr James Stuart-Smith

I graduated from Melbourne University in 1988 and have since been providing dental care for local families in the area. Having been in the same practice for over 25 years means that I’m now providing care for the children of those families!

More than anything, I enjoy finding long-term solutions for my clients, which allows me to develop trusting relationships and work as a partner in your dental health.

I also enjoy cosmetic dentistry. I can see the difference it makes to people’s lives. The latest dental techniques often allow me to make a big improvement in your smile. It can be relatively simple and less invasive than what was previously the case.

I enjoy keeping up with the latest dentistry so I attend many hours of ongoing education.

Outside of the practice I have two children, I love to run and ski, and for better or worse I follow the ups and downs of Collingwood Football Club.

Dr Mudar Eshaya

I have been working as a Dentist in Melbourne for over 15  years now, with the last twelve spent at the Edgars Road practice.

I enjoy all aspects of dentistry including preventative and restorative dentistry however, I am most interested in the comfortable removal of teeth, including impacted wisdom teeth* and caring for those with dental emergencies and toothaches.

I speak fluent Arabic and Assyrian and have Four children growing up fast.

*Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks.
