Principal dentist Bronagh McGuckin opened our practice in August 2011 and it has continued to grow with the support of our community both local and further afield.

At Toome Dental & Aesthetics we are a friendly bunch! We take the greatest of pride in our personal touch and will go to great lengths to ensure you have a pleasant experience and receive the best possible care and treatment.

Our friendly team welcomes all patients new and long standing, and we do our utmost to ensure everyone feels comfortable and relaxed. We are dedicated to looking after your dental health and cosmetic desires.

Our dental nurses play a key role at our practice and not only assist our dentists chairside but are the first to offer a warm reception to patients.

“Very satisfied with all aspects of the treatment. The dentists and all other staff are excellent. I left a previous practice to join as their reputation is so good.”

Bronagh McGuckin
Principal dentist
BDS (Belfast 2005)
GDC number: 85925

I am the principal dentist and practice owner. After graduating from Queen’s University Belfast in 2005 I worked in Scotland before moving home in 2007. I spent the following years working in busy practices in Derry, Randalstown, Ballymena and Coleraine where I gained valuable experience in many areas of general and cosmetic dentistry.

Living near to Toomebridge – and hailing from Newbridge – I seized the opportunity to establish my own practice within my local community.

I am married to Mark and we have three wee ones, Anton, Meabh and Jarlath. I spend a good part of my free time trying to get them all off the swings at The Marina!
