Meet the Team

Dr. Sarah Flannery obtained her dental degree from Trinity College Dublin, and graduated with honours 
in 2010.

A specialist interest in aesthetic dentistry led Sarah to continue her studies to complete a three-year masters in Aesthetic Dentistry in King’s College London and a masters qualification in Invisalign from the European Masters of Aligners.

Sarah specialises in minimally invasive dental treatment, cosmetic smile makeovers, minimal prep veneers, and adhesive dentistry. Her commitment also extends to sharing knowledge by teaching restorative dentistry to undergraduates at the Dublin Dental Hospital, part of Trinity College in Dublin. She is also a member of The Irish Dental Association and the International Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry.

Dr. Murphy is a highly skilled and dedicated general dental practitioner with over two decades of experience in the field. He graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 2003 and Liverpool University Dental Hospital in 2009. Even as a student, Dr. Murphy demonstrated a natural aptitude for dentistry, excelling in both academic studies and clinical practice, while developing a compassionate and patient-centered approach to care.

After completing his studies, Dr. Murphy began his career in private practice in Ireland, where he quickly established a reputation for precision, professionalism, and a personal touch with his patients.

Seeking new challenges, he moved to Australia, initially with plans for a short-term stay. However, what began as a temporary adventure evolved into 14 years of living and working in Australia.

In 2024 Dr. Murphy decided it was time to return to Ireland to reconnect with family, friends, and the Irish community.

Dr. Marie Caroline Berthelin is a highly skilled and compassionate dentist with a special interest in endodontics. Originally from France, she has been living and practicing in Ireland for the past eight years, where she has become a valued and respected member of the dental community.

Dr. Berthelin has undertaken extensive postgraduate training both nationally and internationally, continually enhancing her expertise across various aspects of dentistry. Her dedication to clinical excellence has led her to train with some of the most renowned figures in endodontics and restorative dentistry, including Dr. Yoshi Terauchi, Prof. Ove Peters, Dr. Gil Tirlet, and Prof. Jean-Pierre Attal.

Her gentle and caring manner, combined with her meticulous approach to patient care, makes her a welcome and trusted member of our team.

Dr. Berthelin is an active member of the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) and the Irish Endodontic Society (IES), reflecting her ongoing commitment to professional development and excellence in her field.

Dr. Aoife Flanagan holds an Honours Degree in Dentistry from University College Cork, having previously completed an Honours Degree in Microbiology at NUI Galway. 

Committed to excellence in aesthetic medicine, Dr. Aoife completed the highly selective three-year MSc in Skin Ageing and Aesthetic Medicine at the University of Manchester, graduating with a Distinction. This internationally renowned programme is widely regarded as the gold standard in aesthetic education and is led by world-leading experts in the field.

Dr. Aoife is a member of the Irish College of Aesthetic Medicine, the Aesthetic Complications Expert Group, and the Irish Dental Association. She has a particular interest in preventative and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments, with a philosophy centred on subtle, natural enhancement. Renowned for her refined “NoTox” approach, she believes that prevention is key and that less is more, always assessing the face holistically rather than treating isolated areas.

Dedicated to ongoing professional development, Dr. Aoife undertakes advanced training both in Ireland and internationally. She has trained extensively with leading global brands including Allergan and Oris Medical, the number one provider of aesthetic training in the UK, at the Royal College of General Practitioners in London. Her expertise also includes training with Dr. Zein Obagi Medical Skincare and the use of premium, FDA-approved dermal filler products such as Teoxane, allowing her to tailor treatments precisely to each patient’s needs.

Her facial aesthetics treatments include Anti-wrinkle Treatments, Dermal Fillers, Skin Boosters and Prescription Skincare.

Rebecca graduated from Cardiff Dental school in 2009 before moving to Dublin to further her training at Trinity’s Dublin Dental University Hospital.

With over 17 years of experience in dentistry, Dr Rebecca Oakley has developed a particular passion for aesthetic and restorative dentistry, composite artistry and implant dentistry.

Rebecca has been restoring dental implants for over 16 years and surgically placing implants for more than 12 years. She has also spent 16 years perfecting her approach to composite bonding, combining technical precision with a highly aesthetic eye.

She is passionate about high-end, conservative dentistry — enhancing smiles while preserving as much healthy natural tooth structure as possible. Rebecca loves the artistry involved creating beautiful, natural-looking smiles and takes great pride in achieving results that are both refined and individual to each patient.
She is also particularly passionate about caring for nervous patients. Her calm, gentle and friendly manner helps patients feel relaxed and understood, while her experience and attention to detail ensure the highest standards of clinical care.

Outside the practice, Rebecca is a mum of two and enjoys family life at home with her children, and their growing collection of dogs, chickens and Pygmy goats. She loves the outdoors, particularly running, cliff walking with her dogs, sea swimming and sailing, and has recently taken up paddle and tennis.

Rebecca also has a serious love of shopping, both for fashion and interiors for house renovations.
