My name is Kate, and I’m an associate dentist in Ballina Dental Practice.
I studied dentistry in Trinity college and I worked in Dublin for a few years after qualifying.
I’m originally from Mayo and moved back home in 2023 to work in Ballina Dental Practice.

I’m a general dentist with a special interest in cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics.
I chose dentistry as a career because I love helping people and I find it really satisfying helping patients to overcome their fear of the dentist.
I really enjoy work as a dentist and I strive to provide the best care for my patients. I like to attend courses regularly to keep up to date with modern techniques and materials.

Five fun facts
1. I love traveling and visiting new cities, if I’m not in work this is probably why 😂.
2. In my free time I love running, I’ve signed up to a half marathon soon, ( I might be regretting it already)
3. I can say the alphabet backwards not that it’s any use anyone.
4. I love horses and did a bit of show jumping growing up.
5. I really enjoy music, I can’t play any instruments but I will most likely have music playing all day in work and will be singing along.

I am a dentist with a master’s degree in Surgery and Implants, a profession I have passionately practiced since graduating in 2008.

Since my undergraduate studies, I discovered my love for surgery. What I enjoy the most is helping patients by eliminating pain through surgery and rehabilitating their smiles so they can feel confident in themselves.

I strongly believe in teamwork, as I consider collaboration essential to achieving better results and making a greater impact on patients’ lives.

My career in dentistry began in 1996 as a trainee dental nurse in Washington DC, USA. Upon completion and with 2 years’ experience in an Endodontic Practice I was accepted into NUI Cork 'Dental Hygiene Programme'.

During my studies and to further my clinical experience I worked as an Orthodontic Nurse.

On graduating, I was honoured to win UCCs Research Project Prize for the year 2000. My research project was subsequently published in the Irish Dental Journal.

As a Hygienist, I moved to London and secured a position in a General Dental Practice in a prestigious 'Harley Street' clinic as their sole Hygienist. I routinely managed complex periodontal cases under sedation, as well as routine dental hygiene treatment including Teeth Bleaching.

I returned to 'Ballina Dental Practice' in the summer of 2010.

Along with my team of Hygienists and Dentists I look forward to assisting you in managing your Dental care.

My name is Eileen Mare and I am a general dentist. I completed my Bachelor’s in Dental Science at Trinity College, Dublin. I love being a dentist because it ticks everything I was looking for in a career: something that is sociable, medical, practical and satisfying. My favourite area of dentistry is aesthetic work such as composite bonding, but don’t worry, if the tooth needs to come out you, we are rolling up our sleeves and getting you out of pain!

Outside of work my number one passion is cooking, I’ve pretty much watched every episode of master chef out there! I love taking long walks (especially since moving to Mayo), hosting, meeting up with friends (can you tell I’m an extrovert?), and joining my Vet husband the field (only to see the cute cattle

My name is Anne Marie and I am one of the Dental Hygienists at Ballina Dental Practice since 2013.   I trained in Cork University Dental Hospital where I graduated with honours in 2013 (Yes I have been working for Paul Dunne since I graduated).  In first year I received an award for achieving the highest mark overall within my class, I also received this in second year along with the oral B award for the best Literature review. In addition to my Dental Hygiene qualification I am a qualified Dental Nurse, qualifying in 2011 and I also acquired a first class honours degree in Bachelor of Business and Tourism in 2008.  So its been quite the journey to where I am today but I believe its where I am meant to be!

I get great satisfaction from my work and enjoy eliminating patients fears around dental hygiene appointments so that they feel comfortable and at ease and overall have a positive experience. I consider myself a people person and therefore love working with people. It helps that I work with such an amazing team, what’s life without laughter and we have plenty of that at work!
