I graduated from University College Cork in 2008 with an honours BDS degree and the W&H Award for Operative Dentistry. I’m registered with the Irish Dental Council and have over 17 years of clinical experience in cosmetic and restorative dentistry.
After graduating, I moved to Dublin and spent the formative years in private practice developing a focus on aesthetic and restorative dentistry — composite bonding, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and implants. That naturally combined with an obsession with technology, so in 2013, myself and Dr. Daniel Collins opened Docklands Dental.
Our goal from day one was to build something different: a practice where clinical excellence and patient experience genuinely compete with the best anywhere in the world. We’ve invested in the best training, the best equipment, and the best people — and I’m proud of what we’ve built.
I have a particular focus on composite bonding, porcelain veneers, and digital dentistry. I was among the first dentists in Ireland to complete the Diploma in Digital Dentistry from the International Digital Dental Academy, and I hold accredited trainer status with the Association of Digital Dental Academies. I’m a Key Opinion Leader for Dentsply Sirona, working directly with one of the world’s leading dental technology companies on training and clinical development.
I measure the standards of our care against the best in the world and have travelled internationally to work with leaders in cosmetic and implant dentistry.
When the above is not consuming most of my week, I’m lucky to spend time with my family, having fun in the sea, or regretting going to the gym.
