Dr Brian Mc Gleenon
PRACTICE PRINCIPAL
BDS (QUB)
Dr Mc Gleenon qualified from Queen’s University Belfast in 1990. He won the prestigious Ralph Smith Medal in Restorative Dentistry and was awarded the John Clarke Prize for achieving first place in the Prosthetic Dentistry final exam.
Dr Mc Gleenon practiced for many years as practice owner and principal in Northern Ireland before finally joining his wife as a managing partner at Finn Dental Care in 1998.
He has a special interest in dental implants, advanced restorative dentistry and cosmetic dental reconstruction. For many years, Dr Mc Gleenon has enjoyed the planning and placement of dental implants, both to stabilise dentures and replace missing teeth with fixed implant supported crowns and bridges.
Dr Claire Mc Gleenon
DENTAL SURGEON
BA, B.Dent.Sc. (TCD)
Having grown up in a household of dentists, Claire was in no doubt of what was involved in following in her mum and dad's footsteps into the dental profession.
She studied Dentistry at Trinity College Dublin and was awarded the prestigious Costello Medal by the president of the Irish Dental Association in April 2016. She graduated with honours in the summer of 2017.
Claire feels that although Trinity and Dublin brought her wonderful opportunities, she was attracted by the familiarity and relaxed pace of life of her hometown, Ballybofey.
Claire completed her Dental Implant training course at Boyne Dental in 2019 and is now completing a diploma in Advanced Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry with the Academy of Dental Excellence. Claire is proud to be an Invisalign provider.
Dr Clare Davidson
DENTAL SURGEON
BDS (Glas), MFDS (U.K.)
Clare qualified from Glasgow Dental School in July 2000. Since then she has gained extensive implantology and sedation experience working in Glasgow, Australia, Belfast and Donegal.
Whilst working in Glasgow she completed her MFDS examinations (member of the Royal College of Surgeons). Clare made the move to Donegal in 2014 with her husband and young family, settling in the Letterkenny area.
Clare provides the full range of routine dental care as well as having a special interest in sedation, wisdom tooth removal and dental implants.
Sedation techniques for anxious patients or for challenging procedures are a huge area of interest for Clare. She has been carrying out both intravenous and inhalational sedation for more than 20 years.
