Meet Candida Castillo, DMD, CAGS, FAGD
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! In fact, she's been named Rhode Island's Top Dentist by RI Monthly Magazine 7 years in a row.

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!

Z-Systems Ceramic Implants
Exclusively in North Providence from Dr. Candida Castillo
The Only FDA Approved 100 % Metal Free Implants, Superior to Titanium Implants in Many Areas:
More natural.
Bones and gums integrate better with zirconium oxide ceramics.
Healthier.
Z-SYSTEMS implants are metal-free, biocompatible, conduct neither heat nor electrical energy, and cause no irritation to the immune system.
More sustainable.
Less plaque accretion than on titanium. This reduces the risk of perimplantitis as well as cardiovascular diseases and strokes.
Stronger.
Ceramic is much stronger than titanium.
More aesthetic.
Thanks to the white material, no gray shadows are visible even with thin or receding gums.
More visible.
Ceramic implants are opaque to X-rays, and easier to recognize in critical situations.
What Is A Dental Implant?
The implant body or post is the portion of the implant that is inserted into the jawbone. The implant body integrates with the jawbone and becomes the anchor for the new tooth.
The implant abutment is the portion of the dental implant inside the crown. Sometimes the abutment is created with the implant body as one piece. Other times, it is separate and attached to the implant with a screw. The abutment shapes the gum tissue and supports the crown.
The dental implant crown is the portion of the dental implant you see, but if done correctly, no one can tell it is not a natural tooth. The crown is bonded or cemented to the implant abutment and is commonly made of a ceramic or zirconia material because of its naturally white color and strength.
