About Kelly M. Passarelli, DDS

Dr. Kelly McNally has been practicing dental medicine for more than 26 years. Kelly’s passion for dentistry was fueled by her own personal experience; she knows how it feels to be too embarrassed to smile. Kelly was born with a cleft lip and palette. After many reconstructive surgeries, and 12 years of orthodontics, Kelly knows how life changing it can be to be given the gift of a new smile. The significance of a smile is what drove Dr. McNally to peruse general dentistry with a focus on cosmetic and restorative procedures for the whole family. After completing her undergraduate education at Loyola University, Kelly continued her studies at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, University of Maryland Dental School. Following her graduation in 1991, Kelly went on to complete a General Practice Residency at The Medical Center of Delaware. In 1992, Kelly moved to New Jersey to join her husband, the late Dr. Lawrence Passarelli and his father, the late Dr. Oreste Passarelli in their dental practice which was originally established in Ridgewood in 1958. Kelly has been a member of the staff of Valley Hospital and also taught prosthodontics at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. She is also an active member of the NJ Dental Association and continues to share her passion for cosmetic, restorative and prosthodontic dentistry for the local dental community. She was voted one of Bergen County's Top Dentists in 2017 and 2018.
