Dr. Diluni Perera
Principal Dentist
BDSc. (Hons) (The University of Melbourne), FICCDE
Dr. Diluni has over 10 years’ experience in dentistry, having completed her degree right here in Melbourne in 2012 - graduating with honours. She was also awarded the prestigious Dean’s Honours in 2009 for Excellence in Dentistry at the Melbourne Dental School.
After graduating, Diluni was selected to undertake an apprenticeship at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne under the guidance of Australia’s leading dental specialists. Since then, she has worked for many years gaining experience in private practices in both metropolitan and regional areas of Victoria, eventually settling at Mulgrave Dental Group as her principal and long-term place of practice.
While Diluni strives to get to know each of her patients and provide exceptional care for their individual needs, she is particularly well-loved by our very young patients. As a mother herself, Diluni believes that all children deserve a good start in their oral health and has a knack for making children’s dental experiences at the clinic positive - even fun.
These days, she spends a great deal of her time undertaking continuous professional development so that her patients continue to receive the very best of what modern dentistry in Australia can offer. Outside of work, she loves to travel and spend time with her young family.
Sonia Anderson
Practice Manager
Sonia’s dental career began in the late 1980s, completing a dental assistant course and becoming a senior dental nurse for approximately six years.
Soon she transitioned into the role of front desk coordinator, and later, took time off to raise her three beautiful daughters. Here, Sonia’s career branched out and she found additional experience in both work cover and private investigations, though her passion for the dental industry remained strong. When the opportunity arose, she came back to join the remarkable team here at Mulgrave in Melbourne.
Sonia has been with us now for over four years, continuing to find joy in seeing both new and existing patients follow their oral health journeys, transforming their smile. She has been instrumental in building the compassionate and dedicated team we have at Mulgrave Dental Group, with her leadership fostering and nurturing an environment where every member of the team feels committed to providing the highest possible standard of care. Under her management we’ve flourished, earning a reputation as a safe space which prioritises the wellbeing and comfort of all patients.
Outside of work, Sonia enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and loves to explore Melbourne’s diverse food scene. With five children between her and her wonderful partner, sports are also a significant part of their weekends.
