I graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Surgery (Hons). I have worked on the Sunshine Coast and in Hervey Bay in Queensland before relocating to Melbourne and joining the National Dental Care team at Elite dental.
I enjoy meeting new patients every day and work hard to make every visit as comfortable as possible.
Diveena Saji
Oral Health Therapist
Diveena graduated from the Latrobe University with a Bachelor of Oral Health Science. She has since worked in both private and public clinics in Bendigo, Shepparton, Maryborough and Melbourne before joining the wonderful team at NDC Keilor. She has come across and treated many patients from different ethnicity and has provided the utmost care and quality with their treatments.
Diveena loves exploring every aspect of Dentistry especially motivating and supporting her patients in creating a healthy routine. Her greatest satisfaction is when she sees her patients walk out with a big smile on their face. She also makes sure her patients are involved in their treatment planning to ensure she meets their expectation in providing the best care and services.
When Diveena is not working, you will find her exploring different cuisines at different restaurants and getting recipes to upgrade her cooking skills.
I graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery. I have since worked in a number of clinics around rural SA and Melbourne before joining the team at Elite Dental. I enjoy practising all areas of general dentistry and being able to meet new faces every day. I get the most satisfaction by providing my patients with the best possible care to meet their expectations in a relaxed and comfortable environment.
I am also focused on keeping up to date on my knowledge and skills by attending continuing education courses in various areas of dentistry.
In my spare time, you can find me trying to improve my new badminton skills, exploring the bustling city and spending time with family and friends.
Hannah Trifunovic
Oral Health Therapist
Hannah graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Oral Health, and she has worked in General Dental and Orthodontic practice. Hannah is also an Orofacial Myologist - trained to look beyond the teeth at things like airways, tongue, lip ties and speech issues.
She treats a range of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusts and other harmful oral habits. As an Oral Health Therapist, she is dual qualified as a Dental Therapist and Hygienist. Hannah has refined skills in the areas of gum health and children’s dentistry as well as the popular in-chair Zoom! teeth whitening.
She is passionate about building dental confidence from a young age and working with the muscles of the face and mouth to encourage ideal growth and development. Her goal is to improve oral health through prevention, health promotion, and education to help patients and their families develop the skills to maintain healthy mouths for life.
Since graduating from the La Trobe University in Bendigo, I have undertaken further training in Invisalign treatment and currently in the process of becoming a member of the Royal Australian College of Dental Surgeons. I have practiced in various areas of rural Victoria, including Bendigo, Melton, Wodonga, Mildura and Ararat. Coming from a family of health professionals, I have always endeavoured to be a hospitable as possible. Always interested in the health field, I chose dentistry and oral health as a career because I have always wanted to work one on one with people where I can directly make a positive difference to their lives.
It is with this interest that I have also been involved with several organisations aimed at providing financial aid for orphans and medical aid globally to those who need it most. I enjoy all areas of general dentistry because I enjoy the variety and the opportunity to provide patients with a complete range of care. I am becoming very fond of aesthetic dentistry as I like seeing the immense satisfaction expressed by patients.
It is a pleasure to work with our visitors to Elite Dental and the supporting staff have made life incredibly easy – it’s a great team to work with. I value myself as someone who listens and cares, has a gentle touch whilst also maintaining a thorough knowledge in the latest dental research.
Outside of dentistry you will see that I am drawn to all kinds of sports, predominantly soccer (outdoor, indoor, futsal) but also swimming and tennis. I love to travel, but also enjoy the simple things in life like a nice cup of tea every morning (minimal sugar of course!) and meeting new people and different characters everyday.
Dr Nasr Bachawaty
Lead Dentist
I graduated from the University of St Joseph in Lebanon in 1998, with a Bachelor of Dentistry. In my career, I have worked in my own clinic and private sector clinics. I relocated permanently to Australia in 2009, where I joined the National Dental Care team at Elite Dental.
I enjoy all aspects of dentistry and have a particular interest in cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, wisdom teeth removal and sleep dentistry.
I pride myself on my long track record of delivering successful outcomes to my patients, and work hard to communicate well with them and deliver all treatment with a gentle touch.
Dr Rangoli Agrawal
Dentist
Dr Rangoli Agrawal completed her dental education in Victoria and graduated with a Masters in Clinical Dentistry. Upon graduating, she was selected to partake in a year-long program, which focused on the development of her skills in advanced clinical techniques in general dentistry. Dentistry has allowed her the opportunity to combine her interest in both the arts and health sciences to provide dental solutions that are both beautiful and functional.
Before joining the team at National Dental Care, Rangoli has also spent time working in various private and public clinics across Victoria in association with the Dental Health Services of Victoria.
She understands that most patients may be apprehensive about dental treatment and is committed to ensuring all of her patients enjoy a pleasant dental experience in a relaxing, positive environment. She enjoys getting to know her patients on a personal level and achieves great satisfaction by the confidence that can be created with a beautiful smile. She works closely with each patient to educate and implement prevention and treatment regimes that are individually tailored, to maintain life-long optimal dental health.
Rangoli is passionate about all aspects of modern general dentistry and immensely enjoys providing patients with the satisfaction of quality dental treatment and care. Rangoli is also a certified provider of Invisalign – the leading clear aligner system in straightening teeth.
Originally Canadian born, Dr Ryan Shiu completed his dentistry training at the University of Queensland in 2008. He commenced his career at a government hospital where he gained strong foundations in all aspects of general dental practice. From there he trained further in the areas of orthodontics at a specialist dental clinic. Ryan has worked full time in private practices at various locations around Brisbane, before relocating and joining National Dental Care, Keilor.
Ryan brings with him a wealth of expertise in all aspects of general dentistry but has a special interest in making smiles and orthodontics (braces). It is also fortunate enough for Ryan to offer cosmetic injectables to his patients (dermal filler and anti-ageing injections), as there is truly more to the smile than just teeth.
Fluent in both Cantonese and English, Ryan is passionate towards building strong, trusting relationships with his patients. He believes effective communication and a gentle approach to dentistry is of utmost importance.
