Dr Armando Menezes, BDSc (UWA)

Associate Dentist

Armando graduated from the University of Western Australia in 1987 and has spent nearly four decades building a career grounded in trust, patience, and genuine care. He believes good dentistry should never feel rushed, and takes the time to thoroughly explain each patient's oral health, walk through their treatment options, and make sure they leave feeling informed and looked after. Those long-term relationships with his patients are something he values deeply.

His path to dentistry started early. A natural with his hands from childhood, Armando grew up sculpting and painting, and carried that love of precision and craft into adulthood. A positive first experience in the dental chair as a kid did the rest, and the direction was set.

After graduating, Armando served as a Dental Officer with the Royal Australian Air Force and worked in private practice across several states before returning to Western Australia in 1999, joining what was then known as the Forum Dental Centre Belmont.

Outside of work, Armando stays busy with fishing, boating, hiking and travelling. He has been training at the gym for 40 years and has five bodybuilding competition wins under his belt. Most evenings though, his favourite place is the kitchen, cooking dinner for his family.
