I had four root canals and four fillings done with Paddy Gowen, and I cannot recommend him enough! From the very first appointment, he made sure I was completely comfortable, easing all my nervousness and fear. His professionalism, skill, and kindness truly stand out. He explained everything clearly, worked with such care, and made what I thought would be a stressful experience so much easier. If you’re looking for a dentist who is patient, gentle, and excellent at what he does, Paddy is the best!

Dr Liam O’Sullivan
General dentist
IDC: 4587
Dr Liam O’Sullivan qualified from University College Cork, (NUI) in 1981 and practiced in the UK in general practice for a number of years. On returning to Ireland, he set up a private practice in 1990, offering routine, advanced restorative, cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics. This included the taking of continuing professional education courses in all of these areas including post-graduate studies in Trinity College Dublin. The greatest problem facing the general dentist is the cosmetic/aesthetic replacement of lost or very damaged teeth. Therefore, a fascination with the possibilities offered in the use of dental implants to permanently replace missing teeth took hold in 2004. “This emerging area of dentistry can provide solutions and aesthetic results that could only be dreamed of when I first qualified.” There followed a series of courses in Europe, culminating in studies for the Diploma in Implant Dentistry, at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in London. Liam has been working with Smiles Dental at Waterloo Road, since 2011.
