Great dental practice. Dr McKenna is fantastic. I have a good deal of internalized dental anxiety but have always felt very comfortable and relaxed under Dr McKenna's care. Highly recommend.

He also places dental implants and is a member of the A.D.I (UK) [Association of Dental Implantology], bringing almost ten years of experience in this field. The practice also includes Dr Paul McKenna BDS, who graduated from Queen’s University Belfast in 2005 and provides a complete range of advanced treatments with an emphasis on pain-free delivery.
