Principal dentist
Claire founded Riverside with a simple aim: to make excellent family dentistry feel more human. She has a particular interest in restorative care and supporting nervous patients.
About Riverside
Dentistry with a neighbourly feel.
Independent, experienced and proud to care for families across Dungannon and Mid-Ulster.
A family dental practice in Dungannon, here since 2011.
Riverside began as a small practice with a clear idea: patients deserve enough time to feel heard. More than 15 years later, that still shapes every appointment.
We combine modern equipment with familiar, personal service. You will see the same close-knit team, receive a clear estimate before treatment and never be hurried into a decision.
Meet your team
Friendly faces. Thoughtful care.
