Established in 1997, Winning Smile Dental, Orthodontics & Cosmetics was founded by Kevin O'Brien and has gone on to become a leading clinic that knows its customers needs. We recognise that some patients may be apprehensive, and that a visit to a dentist can be a daunting prospect. We hope that our relaxed and friendly approach in our comfortable surroundings will alleviate any anxiety you may have.
Establishing rewarding and lasting relationships with our patients is important to us. We pledge excellence in all we do, and we are looking forward to helping you make the most of your smile now and for all the years to come. Our goal is prevention rather than treatment.
At Winning Smile we prove a large array of services that cater for everyone's needs. A conversation with one of our Doctors will lead you in the right direction ensuring the best results for you.
Kevin graduated in dentistry from university college cork and after a 4 year spell in London in private practice returned to cork in 1997 to set up his own general practice in Carrigaline.after 5 years of building he opened a second practice in glanmire .both practices were start up and built up gradually over 4/5 years.im constantly updating my skill set and spend a lot of my time travelling to uk,Usa,Europe and indeed Asia learning new methods and ways to deliver better patient care and to be able to offer our patients more treatment options.
Having branched out into facial cosmetics in 2007 we opened up a new area of business which has seen huge growth worldwide in last decade.the dental skill set is very suited to this form of work as we are used to working and injecting around the facial muscles.we adopt a very minimal approach to Botox with the idea that less is more when it comes to the face.we only use Allergan Botox which is the market leader and indeed is manufactured in Ireland which is an added bonus.some other botulinum products are cheaper but the results are not as good or long lasting which in the long run works out costing everybody more I feel.
The other area of facial cosmetics is fillers..these have seen huge growth in recent years mainly because of social media.this treatment is mainly concentrated around the mouth area to get rid of smokers lines,flat lips,nasolabial folds and marionette lines at the corner of the mouth.while Botox takes a few days to see the affects filler is more immediate and can last for up to 9 months.we use both Allergan's Juvederm products and vivacy stylage as our main filler products and both are leading brands in their fields.
