Our mission is providing you with the best quality available and always striving for the best outcome.
Dentistry On George is owned by husband and wife team Mishari and Kathryn who bought the practice from Dr Parry in 2018. Dr Parry had been practising in Brisbane for over 40+ years and had built a loyal patient base. Patients would seek him out from far and wide for his high standards. He was well respected, trusted and liked. Mishari and Kathryn have carried on Dr Parry’s legacy of quality, consistency and high standards, while modernising and growing the practice.
Dr Mishari Al-Dhafeeri

BDS (Glasgow), MFDS (Glasgow), MClinDent (Pros)
Mishari has been working in dental practice since 2009. He is passionate about dentistry and is constantly improving and updating his skills.

His major passion has always been prosthodontics: replacement of missing and broken down teeth, oral rehabilitation, dentures and implant restorations. He studied a Masters in Prosthodontics at the world-renowned King’s College London in 2014. After 4 years of hard work he completed the course with merit. This has brought a whole new dimension to the range and standard of work he carries out. His philosophy is to bring things back to nature, which means creating beautifully sculped natural fillings, replacing missing teeth to return to proper chewing function and brightening smiles. His work is always backed by the latest up-to-date research, and being a perfectionist we will always make sure you are happy with your treatment before you leave. He puts patients and their needs first and treats everyone as he would his own family.
Mishari loves the variety and complexity that working in dental practice brings. He previously worked as a clinical supervisor at the University of Queensland where he enjoyed teaching and watching his students grow into competent, confident clinicians. However, he gave this up to fully focus on building the practice. Mishari is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and is a member of the Australian Dental Association and Australian Prosthodontic Society.
Mishari moved to Brisbane from the UK in 2015 with his wife Kathryn, and immediately fell in love with the active, outdoor lifestyle. He gets very excited to see any native Australian wildlife (even snakes and spiders, but mostly the cute cuddly kind) and loves travelling to explore new areas.
Dr Kathryn Al-Dhafeeri
