Dr. Murphy is originally from Cork and graduated in dentistry from UCC in 2014. He then worked in the NHS in the UK as a general dentist before doing hospital posts in maxillofacial surgery, paediatric, special care, and restorative dentistry. In 2021, he completed a 3 year orthodontic training programme at the Eastman Dental Hospital London. This included a master’s degree with University College London and the professional membership exam with the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
He then completed an additional 2 years of training between the Eastman Dental Hospital and the Royal Surrey Hospital, and the fellowship in dental surgery exam with the Royal Colleges to become a consultant orthodontist. This focussed on patients requiring complex orthodontic care such as combined orthodontics and jaw surgery, treatment for patients with missing teeth, dental anomalies, and cleft lip and palate. He also worked in a specialist orthodontic practice in North London during this period.
He is a member of the British and Irish Orthodontic Societies and is a past president of the British Society’s Training Grades Group. He has presented research at orthodontic conferences and published articles in peer reviewed journals.
During his training, he won the Eastman Dental Hospital clinical excellence award for best orthodontic trainee and dean’s list award for highest marks in his master’s degree. He has also won awards from the British Orthodontic Society for clinical techniques and clinical effectiveness projects. He regularly teaches orthodontic trainees and completed a certificate in clinical education from the University of Dundee.
Both Dr. O’Leary and Dr. Murphy offer a complete range of orthodontic treatments for all age groups including invisalign™, white ceramic braces, coloured braces and short course treatments.
Why choose an orthodontist and not a dentist to straighten your teeth?
An orthodontist has spent three further years on a full-time specialist training programme studying and implementing methods to straighten teeth and as result is very highly skilled in creating your perfect smile. This means that you will receive the best treatment possible.
Typically how long does the treatment take?
Treatment times vary from about 6-24 months. Simple straightening can often be carried out as quickly as 6 months, particularly if it’s only the front 6 teeth. Timing depends on the severity of the problem and what the patient desires of the treatment. Our in house orthodontist will be able to advise you at your consult of the estimated treatment time.
Types of Braces
We realise that Orthodontic treatment is more expensive than other dental procedures and as such interest free payment plans are available – you will be able to spread the cost of treatment over the course of the treatment.
At Corabbey Dental & Orthodontics we have gone to great effort to ensure all Dentists and Specialists have undergone training at the best universities and are registered on the Dental Register and Specialist Dental register as appropriate.
