Meet Dr Joshua Vowles, Principal Dentist
From Teacher to Dentist
Dr Josh began his career as a high school teacher, specialising in math, science, and chemistry. While he enjoyed teaching, he realised after five years that it wasn’t the long-term path he envisioned.
Dentistry wasn’t initially on his radar until a relative suggested it might be a good fit. The idea clicked, and Dr Josh soon discovered that dentistry offered the hands-on, mentally stimulating work he craved.
“I also enjoy helping people, and many aspects of being a dentist appealed to me, especially the opportunity to be my own boss.”
Dental Education & Professional Development
Being a “mature age” student with family and financial commitments made dental school challenging for Dr Josh, but his desire to create his own practice motivated him. In 2007, he graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Dental Science, and by 2012, he had achieved his dream of owning Greenwood Dental Surgery.
One standout passion in Dr Josh’s dental journey is his keen interest in implants. He earned a Graduate Diploma in Dental Implantology (2022), completing a two-year postgraduate diploma covering all aspects of implant dentistry. His dedication to providing comprehensive care to his patients extends to clear aligner orthodontics (such as Invisalign® and TrioClear) and dental sleep medicine to help patients with snoring and sleep apnoea.
Helping Patients Find Relief
Dr Josh enjoys working with a close-knit team and helping patients improve their oral health. He also likes helping people eat better, get out of pain, and improve the appearance of their teeth.
“I enjoy the technical challenge of refining my skills to get the best outcome possible.”
Dr Josh also values the communication side of his work, ensuring patients fully understand their treatment options and what to expect.
