Our office is located in the heart of Truro in a Victorian Queen Anne style centre home. We are a family general dental practice. Restorative dentistry is a special area of interest. The practice was originally developed by Dr. Gordon Kenney in 1974 on Young Street and moved his office to the present location on 125 Queen Street. Upon Dr. Kenney’s retirement in 1994, the practice was then taken over by Dr. John Gourley. Dr. Gourley had a very unfortunate accident being hit by a motor vehicle in July 1996. This precipitated in the transfer of the practice including two of Dr. Gourley’s staff (formerly Dr. Kenney’s) Sheila Allan & Sharron Ryan, to Dr. Thomson who has continued to present, still at 123 Queen Street. Since 1997, we have created a hygiene department, modernized our equipment, and expanded out facility to a comfortable and state-of-the-art Dental Office.
