HARMONY ORTHODONTICS - Key Persons
Dr. Shiva Senathirajah grew up in Perth, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Science with Honours from the University of Western Australia in 2008. Shiva worked as a general dentist in a private practice in Perth for several years.
Shiva then moved to Melbourne, where she obtained her specialist qualification in orthodontics through the three-year Doctor of Clinical Dentistry program at the University of Melbourne. Shiva is certified with the Australasian Orthodontic Board and holds membership with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons and the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh.
Always friendly and welcoming, Susan enjoys engaging with new patients and their families when they come to our clinic. "I pride myself on managing a well-run professional practice by providing training and support to my colleagues."
Susan earned a Certificate of Dental Therapy from the Public Health Department in 1981. In 1998, she began her career at Harmony Orthodontics as a dental therapist. She was inspired to study dental therapy because she had braces as a teenager and was amazed by the beautiful smile her orthodontist helped her achieve.
When she's not working, Susan enjoys living an active life. A mother of four sons, she enjoys walking, reading, playing golf, going to the beach and cooking. Supporting her children at their sporting activities and getting together for family catch-ups are also favourite ways to spend time.
