Dr Riya Rajesh is a general dentist at Primary Dental Caringbah who places trust, clear communication and patient comfort at the heart of every appointment.

Dr Riya completed a Bachelor of Dental Surgery at Pondicherry University in India and went on to practise general dentistry there, building a solid foundation in comprehensive dental care. After relocating to Australia, she completed the Australian Dental Council examinations and gained registration with the Dental Board of Australia.

Restorative dentistry is an area of particular interest for Dr Riya, alongside root canal treatment, crown and bridge work, extractions and preventive care. Whether relieving pain, restoring a damaged tooth or helping someone feel more confident about their smile, she values the chance each patient gives her to make a genuine difference. Keeping up to date with developments in dentistry through ongoing professional development is an important part of how Dr Riya practises.

Understanding each patient’s individual needs is central to the care Dr Riya provides. She takes time to listen, explains treatment options in plain language and aims to make every visit a calm and reassuring experience. Prevention is a strong focus, and she enjoys helping patients build the small, consistent habits that support good oral health over a lifetime.

Dr Riya speaks Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi as well as English, and welcomes patients who prefer to discuss their care in one of these languages.

Away from the clinic, Dr Riya loves travelling, exploring new places and meeting people from different cultures, and she enjoys spending quality time with family and friends.

The opportunity to make a positive difference in someone’s life, whether that is relieving pain, restoring a damaged tooth or helping a patient regain confidence in their smile, and the trusting relationships that grow from caring for patients over the long term.
