Our Dentists

Dr. Thomas Graydon

Tom is the principal dentist at Durlacher Dental Care. Having grown up in Perth, he graduated from the prestigious University of Western Australia where he received the Alistair Devlin Prize in Paediatric Dentistry. He has worked in a number of different private practices in both the city and the country including Bunbury, Pinjarra and Merredin, receiving a broad and extensive range of experience in all aspects of general dentistry. Tom and his family have now settled here in Geraldton and are excited to call it home!

Tom’s passion for dentistry started at an early age - he was fortunate enough to have a very enthusiastic and caring dentist growing up. In his early days as a dental student, Tom realized the impact that a healthy, functional set of teeth can have on a person, and his appreciation for the technical side of dentistry become a passion. Tom prides himself on his easy-going and relaxed persona, and he strives to impart the same dentist-loving attitude on to his patients that he had growing up.

Outside of the dental surgery, Tom is a big foodie with a real passion for cooking and learning about different cuisines of the world. Tom’s epicurean interests influence his love of travelling, as he enjoys eating his way across the globe. The recent addition of a daughter to his family keeps him and his wife on their toes!

Dr. Sina Sabeti

Sina was born and raised in Perth and graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Dental Medicine. He moved to Geraldton at the beginning of 2018 and loves everything the town has to offer.

Sina enjoys offering a wide variety of general dentistry. With his friendly nature he strives to provide every patient with the best possible experience. It is important to him that his patients are well educated on their dental needs and to empower them to improve and maintain good oral health.

Sina loves his sport and fishing, which is a big part of why he is so drawn to Geraldton. If he isn’t playing basketball or watching AFL you will probably find him fishing somewhere along the coast or pulling cray pots during the whites.

Dr. Xin Jie Tan

Xin Jie graduated from the University of Western Australia Dental School after completing her Bachelor of Science, majoring in Physiology and Pharmacology. She has been treated to a rich experience providing dental care throughout rural WA, from the beautiful South West to the East Kimberley in the north, and her passion for country practice has led her here to work in Geraldton.

Xin Jie understands that going to the dentist isn’t the easiest for everyone and takes the time to ensure her patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their visits. She finds it very rewarding to help her patients appreciate the importance of their oral health and work with them to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to their needs.

Having a passion for the great outdoors, Xin Jie is excited to explore all that the Mid-West region has to offer! When she’s not in the dental clinic, you can find her seeking out the best chai latte spot, exploring new running routes or having a snorkel at the beach.

Dr. Joceline Nugroho

Joceline graduated from the University of Sydney’s Doctor of Dental Medicine programe after completing her Bachelor of Science (Microbiology) and Bachelor of Arts (Asian Studies) from the same university. Her years in the big smoke amongst the hustle and bustle of Sydney’s notorious work-focused culture was what spurred her to explore working in a country practice such as in beautiful Geraldton.

While she enjoys a wide range of dentistry, Joceline has a special interest in paediatrics. She was fortunate enough to have grown up with supportive and engaging dentists. The compassion and empathy she experienced in the clinic inspired her to pursue the same career in the hopes that she could also bring a measure of comfort and ease to nervous patients. She is also a firm believer in establishing healthy oral habits and positive dental experiences from an early age. As a result, she isn’t afraid of pulling up her (limited) Bluey and other child-friendly references to get children excited for their visits.

Inspired by her childhood spent living abroad, Joceline enjoys travelling and exploring new places in her spare time. Additionally, you can also find her at home furiously reading to try and finally accomplish her reading goal of 100 books a year (don’t ask her about what she’s reading she can’t remember). Alternatively, she also enjoys spending time exploring Geraldton’s food scene, skilling up her cooking skills, and facetiming her family dog back in Perth.
