PRIYANKA BERANI

As the driving force behind Healthy Smiles Dental Group, Priyanka Sethi Berani has transformed a small local clinic into one of Melbourne’s largest and most awarded multi-chair dental practices. With a background in business management and a relentless focus on operational excellence, she brings a unique “Patients First” philosophy to every aspect of the practice — from patient experience to team culture and long-term strategic growth.

Under Priyanka’s leadership, Healthy Smiles has consistently smashed performance KPIs year after year, achieving sustained double-digit revenue growth, exceptional patient satisfaction ratings, and industry-leading retention benchmarks. She has spearheaded initiatives in digital transformation, systems optimisation, and staff development, ensuring the practice remains at the forefront of both patient care and business innovation.

Her strategic vision and disciplined execution have earned Healthy Smiles numerous accolades, including:

• 🏆 IABCA – Business Woman Of The Year (2023)
• 🥇 Ethnic Business Award – Small Business National Winner (2022) — the first Indian-Australian couple to achieve this in the award’s 35-year history
• 🏆 Bupa Practice of the Year (2021)
• 🏆 Whitehorse Community Business Award – Medium Business (2021)

Beyond her role at Healthy Smiles, Priyanka serves on business advisory panels for major dental and health organisations, contributing her insights on leadership, patient experience, and sustainable growth in healthcare.

When she’s not optimising systems or mentoring emerging leaders, Priyanka enjoys family life with Dr Ved Berani and their three children — often found hosting friends, travelling, or perfecting her signature curry.
