Meet Candida Castillo,

As a dedicated biological dentist with 25+ years of experience, Dr. Castillo certainly knows a thing or two about transforming patients’ lives for the better!

She loves being able to work closely with individuals on their dental health, their overall health, and the critical connection between mouth and body that influences both. If you would like to learn more about her, just keep reading below.
What did you choose to
become a dentist?
As a teenager, Dr. Castillo was able to undergo orthodontic treatment, and she became very interested in all of the work that was being done from appointment to appointment. She always had plenty of questions for the dentist! Later in life, when considering a future career, she realized just how interested she was in the oral healthcare field as a whole and signed up for the dental assistant program at the Community College of Rhode Island. After working as a dental hygienist for a few years and completing her degree, she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she had lots of love and passion for this job to share – and that feeling has only grown with time!
"Nothing is more gratifying than having a patient smile confidently and knowing that I was a part of that."
"Dr Castillo is so caring. She makes sure you are calm and comfortable before doing anything to you. I’m so nervous and anxious at the dentist , but since I’ve found Dr Castillo I’m calm and trusting."
Andrea P., North Providence, RI
"If there were more stars, I would give more! I absolutely love Dr. Castillo! She is incredibly kind, truly cares about her patients, and goes the extra mile for her clients. I couldn't be happier with my teeth and beautiful smile. I highly recommend her and the Aesthetic Dental Studio of RI. All the staff are absolutely wonderful!!!"
Joe-Ellen T., Edgartown, RI
"One of the most attentive dentists Ive ever experienced! All the dental office staff are extremely kind, patient and helpful. Dr. Castillo herself is very detail-oriented and treats each case very individually. She even said she’ll review my case over the next few weeks with colleagues before coming up with a plan for me."
Sofiya Z., North Providence, RI
