Dr Raj Thathiah, our principal dentist, graduated from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1995. With a BSc (Hons) and BDS, he has been practising dentistry in the private sector for the past 23 years. While he has worked in the UK and Australia, he has primarily focused on private practice in South Africa. Dr Thathiah has a strong interest in cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics (non-specialist), always striving to provide quality care to his patients.
In 2012, Dr Thathiah relocated to New Zealand with his family and established his own private practice in 2013. He is committed to expanding his skill set and recently acquired additional qualifications in Full Fixed Orthodontics and Full Mouth Rehabilitation.
Beyond dentistry, Dr Thathiah is an accomplished fisherman. His passion for fishing not only offers a well-deserved break from the demands of dentistry but also reminds him of the importance of finding balance and relaxation for overall well-being.
Under the guidance of Dr Thathiah, our dedicated team shares a common passion for enhancing smiles and ensuring optimal oral health. We are excited to welcome you and your family to Medicross Dental and Orthodontics.
