Candlewood Dental Centre is part of a tradition that began in 1993. We make a point of delivering quality, professional and skilled dental services to everyone in the Joondalup area. We are passionate in building long and trusting relationships with our patients. Many of our longest standing patients came in first as children or for emergency dental care and decided they love being here.
Modern dentistry can sometimes be very intimidating and too formal. At Candlewood Dental Centre, we treat you like you are a part of our family: because you are. We are friendly, caring, approachable and professional. This helps us provide an extremely high level of customer service. We treat every patient with care, compassion and without judgement.
The result is a place where patients are happy to entrust us with their dental care. Many of our patients are regulars now because they had a dental emergency once and liked the way we took care of them. Some of our patients have been here since they were children and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

- Emergency Dentist
- Children’s Dentistry
- Dentures
- Dental Implants
- Porcelain Veneers
- Cosmetic Dentistry
