Like her dedicated colleagues, Sahara also believes lifelong learning is key to providing the highest quality dental care, leading her to regularly attend dental courses in order to keep abreast of the latest advances in dentistry.
When she is not in her scrubs, you’ll find Sahara enjoying a Gelare coffee with the family and going to pilates with her husband, Ryan.
Dr Sam Saeedi - BDSc(UWA)
Dr Sam Saeedi was born and raised in Perth and graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Dental Science. At age 11, he was the best kitchen hand at his father’s ice cream store, later to be promoted to general manager.
Sam loves cookies and cream but has an appreciation for moderation and dental decay.He always aspires to bring smiles to the people around him and hence fell in love with the art of dentistry.
Sam recognises the value of effective communication with patients and colleagues. He strives for excellence and keeps up to date with new developments and resources in dentistry. In addition to English he also speaks Farsi.
Outside of dentistry he enjoys spending time with family and friends. He also particularly enjoys outdoor water activities, movies and music; and is always looking for new bike/hike paths to explore with his wife, Ava.
Sam believes the mouth is a portal to the entire body. For this reason, he lives by the motto that a healthy oral environment contributes to a nourished lifestyle.
Dr Sophie Hancy - BDSc(UWA)
Sophie graduated from the University of Western Australia in 2013 and has since worked in Bunbury, Geelong, and Melbourne. She has recently returned to Perth and is thrilled to join the team at Empire Dental Care. As a third-generation dentist, she proudly continues her family’s legacy in dentistry. Her family’s affinity to dentistry was probably a natural progression from their pearling business in Broome where Sophie’s great-great grandfather was locally known as the “Pearl Doctor”.
Sophie enjoys all aspects of family dentistry and aspires to provide every patient with the highest standard of dental care. She strives to create a comfortable, welcoming environment where she can work closely with patients to achieve their oral health goals, improve their overall health, and restore their confidence in their smile. As dentistry is constantly evolving, Sophie is dedicated to continually advancing her skills and knowledge to ensure she offers the most up-to-date and optimal care for her patients.
Outside of the clinic, Sophie enjoys spending time with her two young daughters, keeping busy with family life.
