Mr Michael McManus

Owner and head of practice Michael qualified from Queen’s University, Belfast, in 2005 and his career and skills have gone from strength to strength. He began working in private practices in Belfast and Armagh before returning home in 2008 to create Gentle Dental. What once was a humble part-time two surgery practice is now a full-time four surgery accomplishment. As well as being an active member of the Irish Association of Aesthetic Dentistry, Michael was one of the first dentists in Ireland to offer the Six Month Smiles Inman Aligner and Invisalign treatments and has studied new techniques in Germany, Spain and England. He also travels frequently to various conferences around the world to learn about new and developing treatments and procedures. Michael is a forward thinking and a keen study of the latest advances and techniques. In this digital age of dentistry he uses state-of-the-art technology to design and manufacture veneers, implants and crown on-site- usually within a few short hours. This is made possible by his investment in a Sirona CBCT scanner and a Premium CEREC one-day tooth restoration treatment- one of the very few practices in Ireland to offer this service. He is also our in-house specialist in digital smile design and, by using a series of highly detailed 3D images and videos, Michael can create a preview of your potential smile without ever having to touch a tooth. As well as being dedicated to continuing his professional development Michael is also very active in helping everyone in the practice grow their skills so they can be the very best they can be. Michael’s experience also includes: A year long course on restorative and aesthetic dentistry Advanced certificate for bone grafting Currently studying towards his MSC in implants Awarded ‘Best Young Dentist in Northern Ireland 2008’ An expert in smile makeovers and full-mouth rehabilitations Has placed and restored more than 600 implants
