Dentist
Dr Daniel Kennedy joined NDC Kadina in 2022. He completed the Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Adelaide and has grown up in South Australia.
Daniel enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, he loves putting a smile on people’s faces and works hard to make sure everyone feels comfortable seeing the dentist. His gentle and caring approach helps him relate to patients and provide good quality dental care.
Outside of the practice, Daniel enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, travelling and is an avid follower of sports following the footy and playing basketball.
I graduated from the University of Stellenbosch, with a Bachelor of Dental surgery in 2001. Before coming to Australia I worked in a private practice in the Netherlands for roughly fourteen years. The latter nine years of my time in Holland I spent building a successful practice.
I enjoy all aspects of dentistry and have a particular affinity for cosmetic dentistry and root canal therapy. I also enjoy helping people overcome their fears and anxieties about seeing the dentist. My goal is to make all my patients feel at ease and have an enjoyable, painless dental experience.
My lovely wife, Tanya and I have three beautiful daughters aged nine, seven and five. When I have some time I enjoy running, squash, traveling and a good glass of wine.

Dr Kathryn Carles
Dentist
I graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1988 with a Bachelor in Dentistry, and worked full time in private practice in Victor Harbor for seven years. I moved to Kadina in 1994 with my husband, John, when he purchased a vetinary practice there.
I have had the pleasure of practicing as a dentist for over 30 years in rural communities, the last 20 + years in the Kadina practice. I practice all aspects of general dentistry and have developed particular interests in endodontics, crown and bridgework, preventive dentistry, restoration of wear and childrens dentistry. I am passionate about good communication and building relationships with my patients so we can work together to achieve great outcomes and provide high quality dental treatment.
I regularly participate in Continuing Professional Development courses to further my education. In my spare time, I enjoy keeping fit through running, cycling and kayaking.
I have participated in the City to Bay run for the last 10 years, and also enjoying running in the local annual Make A Wish Foundation fun run and the Copper Coast fun run. I am a member of the Copper Coast Sport and Leisure Centre. In my spare time I like to travel and cook, and enjoy attending a monthly reading group and managing my son’s winter futsal team.
