Meet Dr. Candace Colella

Growing up in New Castle, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I enjoyed a loving home that nurtured my talents and led me to begin my formal education at Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania, where in 1991 I graduated with a B.S. in Biology. My interests soon became focused on Dentistry and I was delighted to discover that my application to the prestigious University of Pittsburgh School of Dentistry had been accepted on early admission. I studied hard and was very active as a leader of several important organizations. Enthusiastically, I served as the President of the Women’s Student Dental Association and Vice-President of the American Student Dental Association, as well as Treasurer of the American Society of Dentistry for Children. In my senior year, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to present research that I had done for the University’s Orthodontic Department in Seattle, and I was recognized as the Outstanding Senior of the Year by the American Association of Orthodontics.

In 1994, I proudly graduated with a D.M.D. Upon graduation, I moved to Hartford, Connecticut, to complete my general practice residency and later became an associate in a dental office in Moodus, Connecticut, until 1998. The following year, I joined the rest of my family in beautiful South Florida and began building Colella Family Dentistry, hoping to provide the best, most caring, gentle, and professional dental care available. In March of 1999, I opened my own dental practice with hopes that I could bring to my patients the kind of care and confidence that comes with being part of a good family. I never imagined that in three short years that I would be honored in a Sun-Sentinel newspaper poll as the best dentist in Broward County! I now continue my affiliation with many dental organizations, such as the Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, and the Atlantic Coast Dental Association, to increase my knowledge of new and improved dental techniques to make your visit with us a more pleasant experience.

Patty and Anthony

Anthony, Patty and Damian were all part of Dr. Colella’s office since she moved here and opened it in 1999. Anthony was her office manager until he passed away in May of 2006. People loved to come in after or before their appointments to talk with “dad”. They were good times.
