Meet Dr Senote Keriakes (Dentist)
Most people pick a career, but Dr Senote believes that dentistry chose him: “I wanted a career where I could be creative but also help people in a healthcare context.” After completing his Master of Dentistry at La Trobe University in 2021, he soon discovered what he loves most about the profession – its blend of precision, artistry and problem-solving.
Dr Senote is particularly passionate about restorative, cosmetic and orthodontic care, including clear aligners. “Every day you get patients coming in with no two patients the same and no two issues the same, and you’re equipped with a whole bunch of skills that you can draw on to solve those issues.” This creative, hands-on approach keeps dentistry both challenging and deeply rewarding for him.
He truly enjoys helping people achieve healthy, confident smiles that look and feel natural. Beyond the aesthetic results, Dr Senote finds satisfaction in planning care that’s thoughtful, tailored and precise, bringing out the best in each patient’s oral health.
Helping Patients Change Perceptions
One of the most rewarding parts of dentistry for Dr Senote is helping patients overcome fear or uncertainty. Many people assume their teeth are “too far gone,” yet he often finds they simply need guidance, regular checkups, and better home care. He takes time to explain options clearly so each person feels informed, at ease, and in control of their oral health.
Gentle by nature, Dr Senote is known for his calm communication style and ability to put even the most anxious patients at ease. He listens carefully, explains every step in plain language, and ensures each patient feels respected and comfortable throughout their visit. His aim is to make every appointment a positive, reassuring experience that builds trust over time.
