Mr Jesse O’Neill

“To this end I see a lot of baby boomers with heavily restored wall to wall amalgams. I like to transform these teeth from black blobs to restorations that look like teeth.” I was born and bred in Christchurch. After completing a Science Degree at Auckland University I did two years as a Research Scientist with the National Heart Foundation and went on to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Pharmacology at Auckland Medical school. Finally deciding on Dentistry I graduated from Otago Dental School and spent my first year as a House Surgeon at the Auckland Hospital service and then spent four years in Accident and Emergency Dentistry – so I know how to get people out of pain. I have 30 years of General Dentistry experience and maintained my continuing education courses which have kept me up to date with the advances in Dentistry. These courses confirmed what was taught in Otago in that ideal dentistry is based on accurate exam and x-rays to determine proper treatment needs to minimise repetitive dentistry. I also have a special interest in Endodontics (root fillings) and Crown and Bridgework.
