Dentist MELBOURNE
Dr Raje Manickam
Dr Raje is the principal dentist at Avenue Dental Brunswick. She has been part of the practice from the very beginning and is looking forward to getting to know the Brunswick community as the clinic grows. Dr Raje is passionate about helping people achieve healthier smiles and supporting their overall dental health. After graduating in Queensland, she built her career in dental implantology, surgical dentistry and cosmetic rehabilitation, including full-arch All-on-X treatment.
Above all, Dr Raje understands that visiting the dentist can feel daunting, especially for patients who have had difficult experiences in the past. Known for her calm and gentle manner, she takes the time to listen, explain treatment options clearly and help patients feel comfortable before treatment begins. She values building long-term relationships with her patients and finds it rewarding to support them throughout their dental care.
About Raje
Dr Raje has since built a strong foundation across all areas of general dentistry. She chose dentistry because she loves the mix of precision, artistry and genuine human connection the work allows. Dr Raje also spent two years undertaking surgical training with oral and maxillofacial surgeons through the Royal Melbourne Dental Hospital before completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Oral Implants at the University of Melbourne. She brings this training to her work in dental implantology and restorative treatment planning, considering each patient’s individual clinical needs.
Raje believes there is always more to learn. She has completed several All-on-X residencies in Australia and overseas, including training with Dr Paulo Malo, who developed the All-on-4 concept. She has also undertaken training in Digital Smile Design, Invisalign and facial injectables. She is a member of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, the International Team for Implantology (ITI) and the Australasian Osseointegration Society. Raje participates in research projects and enjoys sharing her knowledge with other dental professionals. In 2027, she plans to commence the Master of Science in Oral Implantology (MOI) at Goethe University Frankfurt. She is committed to ongoing professional development and keeping up to date with developments in dental techniques, materials and technology.
Away from the clinic, Raje loves exploring Melbourne’s food scene, travelling and rock climbing, which she finds a great way to unwind and challenge herself. She is also committed to giving back and has volunteered on several dental trips to Papua New Guinea with Youth With A Mission, providing dental care to communities with limited access to dentistry.
