What Is the History Behind Collins O Meara Fermoy Dental Care?

Our dental practice traces its origins back to 1928 when Charles P. O’Meara B.D.S. established his surgery in Fermoy, building a foundation of patient-centered care. His son, David O’Meara B.D.S., joined the practice in 1963 and served the local community for decades prior to his retirement in 2020. Over the years, the practice expanded to welcome other independent surgeons, including Andrew O’Brien B.D.S. in 1977 (retired 2017), John Mills B.D.S. M.Clin.Dent in 2000, and Cian O’Meara B.D.S. (son of David) in 2007. Norrie Moloney B.D.S. subsequently took over Andrew O’Brien’s practice, working alongside associate dentists Clodagh McMorrogh B.D.S. and Claragh Drake B.D.S.

By operating as independent surgeons sharing modern equipment and premises, we effectively reduce operational overheads and pass those direct financial savings on to our patients. This collaborative arrangement ensures that our surgery remains fully staffed to accommodate daily care as well as sudden emergencies, maintaining continuous, reliable care for the entire region.
