O'Meara B.D.S in 1928 and he was joined by his son David O'Meara B.D.S. in 1963 (retired in 2020). Andrew O'Brien B.D.S. joined the practice in 1977 as an independent Dental Surgeon (retired in 2017), John Mills B.D.S. M.Clin.Dent joined in 2000, also on an independent basis, Cian O'Meara B.D.S. (son of David) joined in 2007 and most recently Norrie Moloney B.D.S. took over Andrew O’Brien’s practice. Clodagh McMorrogh B.D.S. works with Norrie and Claragh Drake B.D.S. works with Cian..
Our hygienist works for all four dentists providing routine hygiene treatment and oral hygiene instruction.
Our four dental assistant staff are very competent, well qualified and are comfortable discussing most aspects of dentistry with our patients.
Our receptionist is very able and operates scheduling etc. to suit our patients' needs, including immediate emergency appointments.
We believe that it benefits all patients that they know their Dentist both professionally and personally so that a strong level of trust can be established. All of us, either being from the town or being well known within the locality, allows for that trust to be formed.
Sharing common equipment keeps overheads down and allows us to pass on savings to our patients. It also means that there will always be someone available to see emergencies, including late evenings.
Cian has established a reputation for Functional Jaw Orthopedics(Non-extraction Orthopedics) both in the locality and nationwide and many patients travel to us from around the country for both this and TMJD pain holistic treatments. This knowledge and protocol follows the CFOO philosophy who have educated dentists both here and in the UK.
