Meet The Dentist

Dr. Dacles is the only dentist in Bacolod City that has undergone training and education in the United States of America.

Dr. Dacles received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Emilio Aguinaldo College’s Department of Dentistry in Manila, Philippines in 2005. He then moved to the United States to further his dental education, completing the Dental Esthetic/Cosmetic program at the University of Southern California (USC) School of Dentistry in Los Angeles, California, USA in 2006. Shortly after, in 2008, he completed the Orthodontics program from Ortho Organizer in Carlsbad, California, USA. Dr. Dacles continues to stay atop his field by continuing to gain more knowledge in various aspects of dentistry, most recently adding Invisalign and both conventional and digital dental implants to his offered dental services.

After gaining educational and practical experience, Dr. Dacles returned to his hometown of Bacolod City in the Philippines where he currently practices general dentistry, focusing in the field of dental esthetics/cosmetics and orthodontics. As a practitioner in the field of esthetic, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry, he is not only an expert dentist but an artist as well. Practice in cosmetic dentistry entails not only good knowledge in the field of dentistry but also an artist’s eye in restoring someone’s smile to meet his or her vision of how their smile should look. Dr. Dacles promotes a very conservative approach to dentistry, working on the least tooth possible to achieve every patient’s goal towards a beautiful smile. Rest assured, however, as patients can expect no shortcuts to be taken. Dente’ Care Center strictly follows all sterilization and other dental practices used in the USA. Patients can expect long term, high quality work that will fit their budgets.

Dr. Dacles is also an active member of various professional organizations in Bacolod City, having served on the Board of Trustees of the Philippine Dental Association, Negros Occidental Chapter and currently serving as Vice President for the Philippine Dental Association, Bacolod City Chapter.
