Dr. Anup Shenai is the owner and principal dentist at Rochester and Moama Dental clinic. He is well-known in this area for his abilities in both aesthetic and surgical dentistry as well as for his amiable, laid-back demeanour. His patients love him because of his patience and kindness.
In 2004, Dr. Shenai graduated from dental school in India. After working with his father for a year, he consciously chose to go to Australia in order to enhance his knowledge of aesthetic, rehabilitation and implant dentistry.
In 2008, Dr. Shenai relocated to Rochester and began working as an associate dentist under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Lavery. This is when his vision of operating a premier clinic with top-notch clientele began to take shape. Dr. Shenai and his wife took over Dr. Lavery's dental office in 2011. In order to meet the expanding requirements and demands of the Echuca-Moama region, the Moama Dental Clinic was established in 2016.
To advance his surgical skills, Dr. Shenai travelled to California, USA and completed his fellowship in Implant dentistry (FCII), and became a fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI). In 2022, Dr. Shenai completed another implantology course under the mentorship of Sydney’s leading and esteemed Dr. Kenneth Lee. He has also finished a diploma in Implantology from the prestigious Jaume University, Spain. He is also a qualified phlebotomist which has helped him use patients’ own growth factors and stem cells to be used in their surgeries to achieve better outcomes.
Along with implant and wisdom teeth surgeries, Dr. Shenai enjoys doing full mouth rehabilitation using crowns, bridges, and implants. Dr. Shenai is also trained in orthodontics and loves the use of clear aligners for treating mal-aligned teeth.
Despite having so many achievements to his credit, his quest for better and more predictable surgical and cosmetic results continues.
Dr. Shenai likes to spend time with his young family while he is not practising dentistry. He enjoys wine, travel, and spending time working on his spiritual development.
Ketki Shenai, a brilliant academician, completed her Bachelor of Science at the top of her class at the University of Mumbai in India. Her desire to learn more led her to Melbourne, where she successfully finished her Master of Science at RMIT. She began becoming really interested in dentistry after she married Anup. Her desire to learn and the demand for more dental professionals in rural areas were further motivators for her to enrol in La Trobe University, Bendigo's Bachelor of Oral Health program. It was challenging for her to juggle her university studies, take care of a young family, and work at the clinic. But she was able to achieve academic success, and in 2014 she began working at Rochester as an oral health therapist.
Ketki is renowned for treating her patients gently and with much patience. She is willing to spend the extra time necessary to try to allay the worries and fears because she is aware that dental anxiety may be quite challenging to deal with for certain people. She enjoys working with children and, as a mother, is aware of the worries that parents may have regarding their children's dental health. Her main goal is to make dental work as enjoyable and painless as possible so that eventually most individuals would be able to receive treatment without any worries or anxieties.
