About Chapman Road Dental Clinic
Geraldton, WA
“I've built my life in Geraldton. This is exactly where I want to be.”
— Dr Jignesh Vania, Principal Dentist
Our Story Over 46 years of care on Chapman Road
Dr Geoff Noonan opened Chapman Road Dental Clinic in the late 1970s — a time when Geraldton was a smaller, tighter community and a good dentist was someone who knew your name.
A graduate of the University of Western Australia, Dr Geoff Noonan spent 46-plus years at 100 Chapman Rd, Geraldton WA 6530, serving the same families across generations. Children came as patients and returned years later as parents. Grandparents referred their grandchildren. That depth of trust — built one appointment at a time in the Midwest — became the identity of Chapman Road Dental Clinic.
When Geoff decided to step back, the handover to Dr Jignesh Vania (AHPRA DEN0002032608) was careful and deliberate. Dr Vania holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Gujarat University and a Fellowship in Dental Implants from Miami University. He moved to Geraldton in 2022 with his family — not as a temporary posting, but as a permanent home. He had already chosen this city before he chose this practice.
He wanted someone who understood what he'd built — not just a practice, but a relationship with the community.

Dr Jignesh Vania
Principal Dentist
Dr Jignesh Vania (AHPRA DEN0002032608) completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery at Gujarat University and moved to Australia in April 2016. After building experience across regional WA — Jurien Bay and Port Hedland — he joined Chapman Road Dental Clinic in 2022 and settled in Geraldton with his family. He holds a Fellowship in Dental Implants from Miami University and is certified in soft tissue laser procedures, giving him a broad scope across general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. He talks patients through smile-makeover planning at Chapman Road — sequencing, sometimes restraint, always considered. His surgical scope also includes wisdom teeth removal for adult and adolescent patients, with three sedation options available in-house. He serves patients from Geraldton, Rangeway, Spalding, and surrounding suburbs — including same-day emergency dental care when patients are in pain. He describes his approach as part Doctor, part Engineer, part Artist — careful diagnosis, precise technique, and a real eye for the result. He is particularly comfortable with anxious patients and those who have not visited a dentist in some time. No rush, no judgement — just an honest conversation about where things are at.
Dr Vania and Dr Noonan recommend a regular check-up and clean every six months for most patients — the simplest way to stay ahead of problems. Dr Vania is also a certified Invisalign provider, and places porcelain and composite veneers for chips, peg laterals, worn edges, and shade concerns — if any of that is on your mind, a consultation here is where that conversation starts.
When he's not in the practice, Jignesh is usually on a motorbike, cooking (he has strong opinions about okra), or doing yoga with his wife and their four-year-old son.

Our Practice Philosophy
How we think
01
A healthy mouth is a healthy body.
Oral health is closely linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and systemic wellbeing. For patients in Geraldton managing these conditions, preventive dental care is not optional — it is part of looking after your whole self. When we examine your mouth, we are thinking about all of you.
02
A dentist is part Doctor, part Engineer, part Artist.
Diagnosis, precision, and aesthetics — all three matter in every treatment. Dr Jignesh Vania (AHPRA DEN0002032608) holds a Fellowship in Dental Implants from Miami University and has completed advanced training in soft tissue laser procedures. Every appointment at our Geraldton clinic reflects that breadth of training.
03
You should never leave without understanding your treatment.
We explain what we found and what we recommend in plain language ? no jargon, no rushing. Treatment plans include a written cost estimate before anything begins. We accept all major health funds with HICAPS on-site, and talk you through what is known before you decide. You make the decisions, at your own pace.
Chapman Road Dental Clinic has been part of Geraldton since 1978. That kind of longevity comes from practising this way — and from patients who feel it.
A small team with a lot of familiar faces. You'll be on first-name terms before long.
The Chapman Road team
Geraldton
Rooted in Geraldton for over four decades
Chapman Road Dental Clinic has been at 100 Chapman Rd, Geraldton WA 6530 since the late 1970s — not because it stayed by accident, but because Geraldton is the kind of place that earns loyalty. The practice serves patients from across the Midwest region, including Rangeway, Spalding, Wonthella, Beachlands, and Drummond Cove.
Dr Geoff Noonan (AHPRA DEN0001580048, BDSc UWA) spent four decades knowing the families on this street. Dr Jignesh Vania (AHPRA DEN0002032608) chose Geraldton as the city where he would raise his own family — moving here in 2022 with his wife and son. The continuity was deliberate on both sides.
Geraldton earns loyalty. We're proof of that.
