Dr. Bill Kennedy

I graduated from Otago Dental School in 1985 and worked at Dunedin Public Hospital as a Dental Housesurgeon. It is a sought after position that provided valuable experience and further training.
After working in general practice in London I returned to Christchurch and have been working at Papanui Dental Centre since 1988.
I am very sympathetic towards anxious patients and so provide a range of sedation techniques combined with gentle and painless care.
I know patients don't like to be kept waiting and are concerned about what their treatment will cost. I run to time and will tailor treatment to suit individual circumstances after discussing this with you. I believe regular checkups allow conservative treatment and prevention of problems so that fees are kept to a minimum.

My aim is to provide high quality long lasting Dentistry at reasonable cost in a caring, friendly and relaxed environment.

I see high school children through a contract with the health department but don't have a contract to treat primary school children. I am happy to see the younger ones for check ups and treatment, but a private fee is necessary to cover costs for this group.
I am always happy to see new patients and like to see my regular patients at least once a year or more depending on your dental needs.
I encourage all my patients to see the hygenist at least once a year and for more difficult cases often refer people to a oral health specialist as required.
