Meet the Team

Darragh is the principal dentist and the owner of DBdental Kinvara.

A native of Oranmore, Darragh travelled to Scotland to study dentistry and graduated from the University of Dundee. He subsequently worked in Edinburgh for a number of years before returning to Galway. Once home, he cared for patients in Claregalway and in Oranmore before taking over the dental practice here in Kinvara from Brendan Quinn in 2022.

​

Darragh has continued to develop his skills throughout his career. He is a certified Invisalign provider and has completed numerous courses on this subject. He has completed a post graduate certificate with the renowned Professor Paul Tipton on advanced restorative dentistry. 

Darragh first became interested in dentistry after numerous dental accidents when playing sport as a teenager – as a result he underwent numerous complex treatments. This gives him a great insight into dental treatment from a patient’s perspective and allows him to help his patients through treatment.

As a general dentist, he enjoys all aspects of dentistry and aims to create a warm friendly atmosphere with all his patients. He especially enjoys treating nervous patients by guiding them through the treatment process and helping them overcoming their fears. Darragh will listen to his patients’ worries and addresses these before starting any treatment.

​

Darragh carries out routine dental procedures as well as more complex procedures such as root canal fillings, crowns, bridges and restoring implants. He undertakes cutting edge aesthetic treatments such as ICON for removing white staining on front teeth. Darragh will explain all treatment options thoroughly with his patients and talk them through the cost of each of these.

Apart from dentistry, Darragh has a keen interest in many sports both locally and nationally. Darragh has played hurling and football for Oranmore Maree GAA club since he was a child and enjoys going to the gym, hill walking and socializing with friends. He is a keen traveler and has volunteered in an orphanage in Nepal as well as travelling to help children in Tonga and The Cook Islands as a dental student.
