Warkworth is about to get a brand new dental practice and two new dentists. Seena Gopi and Mahitha Veerepalli have teamed up to form Riverside Dental Warkworth in the new BNZ building on Neville Street and they expect to open in early May.
The new practice is the culmination of a two-year search to find suitable premises in Warkworth and they say they can’t wait to get started.
“We’ve been looking around this area for quite some time, so when this place came up we jumped at it,” they say. “We love this area and we love Warkworth.”
State of the art tools, equipment and chairs are being installed, including the latest minimal-radiation digital X-ray systems and a TV on the ceiling to keep the kids distracted and amused. There will also be a lift to the first floor consulting rooms.
As well as all forms of general dentistry and oral hygiene, Riverside will also offer Invisalign virtually invisible orthodontics – clear ‘braces’ that you can barely see. Mahitha and Seena say they will do all that they can to make sure all their patients, young and old, feel relaxed and comfortable during treatment.
“We really believe in being as gentle as possible. We’re very caring and we understand what our patients are going through.”
Seena, who graduated in 2004, is passionate about helping patients to achieve and maintain healthy teeth and gums for life. She enjoys every aspect of her job and says her focus is to provide clients with durable and beautiful work. In her spare time, she and her husband Mal love to spend time with their young son, Ryan, and to travel and cook.
Mahitha completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2007 and NZDREX in 2009. She says dentistry is her passion and has a special interest in cosmetic dentistry. After living and working in Hawkes Bay, Mahitha and her husband Sarath, who is an oral health therapist and hygienist, cannot wait to move up to Warkworth and start the new practice.
