About Us

Originally from Drimoleague in West Cork, Leila qualified in 2001 from Cork University Dental School and Hospital. She worked in the UK before returning to Cork to establish Ballincollig Dental practice in 2004. Leila has developed her practice to include state-of-the-art equipment and the most advanced treatment options for your comfort and benefit.

In recent years Leila has focussed her skills on the provision of removable dentures. Although fixed replacements for missing teeth are ideal, there are limits to what can be provided, and it is clear that there is a need for high quality dentures produced using the very best in materials, contemporary techniques and with the support of the finest technicians.

Louise qualified from University College Cork with an Honours Dentistry Degree in 2011 and has been working in private practice and the Irish Navy since. She also has a degree in Psychology from Trinity College Dublin and uses her knowledge of health psychology to empower patients and their families to achieve and maintain great oral health. She is a gentle and caring dentist who enjoys helping nervous patients to achieve their dental goals.

She enjoys all aspects of general dentistry including getting to know her patients and building up trust and putting them at ease while delivering a wide variety of dental procedures. She enjoys providing restorations that are minimally invasive and aesthetically pleasing.

She is committed to keeping her skills and knowledge up to date and is in the process of obtaining her postgraduate diploma in primary care dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons.
