About
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dr. Onekhena spent most of his adolescence in
Nigeria. In Nigeria, living in a community with minimal healthcare access,
he discovered an interest in medicine. His family returned to the United
States so that he could receive the best education possible. He attended
college in Georgia before moving to Connecticut, where he earned his dental
degree from the College of Dental Medicine at the University of Connecticut.
Following dental school, Dr. Onekhena completed his medical degree, General
Surgery Internship, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency at the
University of Kentucky in Lexington.
His practice includes office anesthesia and sedation, wisdom tooth extractions,
exposure of impacted teeth, bone and soft tissue grafting, dental implants,
treatment of benign lesions, and corrective jaw surgery. He is passionate
about using advanced dental technology to enhance treatment results, predictability,
and patient comfort.
When not in the office, Dr. Onekhena also enjoys participating in medical
mission trips abroad. He has traveled to Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, and Mexico
to provide healthcare to under-resourced communities. He is an avid football
and basketball fan and loves to travel as a means to experience new cultures
and cuisines. He enjoys driving, roller coasters, skydiving, weightlifting
and is currently developing an appreciation for cycling.
Dr. Onekhena is committed to providing safe, compassionate, and cutting-edge
care for our community while being the best neighbor he can be.
