He was also awarded The Wystan Peach Prize in Conservative Dentistry in the same year, representing the best in his year for conservative and restorative dentistry.

Conor also has a keen interest in the area of facial aesthetics believing that the tissues surrounding the teeth such as the lips and gums provide 'the frame' for the smile. Having completed extensive training in the 'The Royal College of Medicine' and 'The Royal College of Physicians' in London for the placement of Botox and Dermal filler preparations, lip correction and enhancement together with wrinkle reduction, are routine procedures he carries out to create that perfect smile.
Dr Robert Molloy
Robert Molloy qualified in 1998, achieving a 1st in Bachelor of Dental Surgery BDS from the University of Wales, College of Medicine awarded with merit. He was awarded the 'Wystan Peach Prize' for Conservative Dentistry. In winning this coveted distinction, Conor and Robert became the only siblings in the history of the college to be awarded the prestigious prize which represents being the best student in that year in conservative and restorative dentistry.
He joined the family dental practice in 1998 working alongside his brother and father. In 2001, together with his brother Dr Conor Molloy, he bought the practice. Since that time he has re-engineered the practice to better meet the changing needs of our patient base. The practice has been re-structured and transformed from a one man operation to a fully functioning multi-skilled dental clinic with an emphasis on all aspects of general dentistry, encompassing four full time dentists and one hygienist, four nurses, one practice manager and two support staff.
Robert has a particular interest in Cosmetic dentistry, being a member of The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists (ACCD) and an associate member of the British Academy of Cosmetic dentistry (BACD). He regularly attends courses and conferences by Dentists leading the world in their field; he believes that continuing education is the only way to keep abreast with the constantly evolving latest techniques. His other interests include preventative dentistry making patients aware of the causes of dental diseases, Dental Implantology, where he has completed post graduate training in the placement of the Bicon Implant system. He has recently attended The Royal College of Physicians in London to complete his training in Facial Aesthetics for the placement of Botox under the tuition of the world renowned practitioner Dr Bob Khanna.
Dr Bryan Costello

Mrs. Paula King
Paula first started in the Molloy Dental Practice in 1998 and qualified as a registered Dental Nurse in summer 2000. Paula realised that a more patient based approach was what she yearned for and in the autumn 2000 straight after her dental nurse training she started a full time course in University College Cork. She graduated two years later with a 1st class Honours diploma in Dental Hygiene. Paula rejoined us straight from study one day a week whilst also working in a number of general and specialist practices. Since qualifying she has regularly attended courses and lectures with the Dental Hygiene Association, keeping up to date with the latest preventative regimes and techniques in the field. Her patient load is now such that she is full time in Santry.
Paula is married to Mark and has a daughter Emily. Weekends are spent running after Emily at the park or occasionally enjoying a good novel.
