About us
Tramore Dental opened in 1978 and Dr Sorcha White joined the practice in 2003. As a general practice, we take care of the whole family from ages 1 to 100!
Although our goal is to establish our patients on a routine of regular check-ups so that they don’t require interventions, we do provide more complex treatments if needed, including fillings, crowns, whitening and braces.
For the more nervous person, we offer gas sedation to make treatment more comfortable.

Meet the team
Sorcha graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 2002 and joined Tramore Dental in 2003. The beautiful sea view was irresistible and she bought the practice in 2007. She has a special interest in crown and bridgework and in sedation for those who need it. At home, her four children keep her busy, but she loves walking on the beach and catching up with friends.
Zuzana joined Tramore Dental in 2017 and quickly became an integral part of our team. A native of the Czech Republic, she comes from a family of dentists and has a lifetime of dentistry experience. When she’s not at work, she loves hiking in the Irish mountains and taking care of her young family.
Lynn qualified as a dental nurse from Cork University Dental School and Hospital in 2007 and has been working at Tramore Dental for many years.

In her free time, Stephanie is building her dream house and volunteers with the Irish Coast Guard.
Rebecca joined us in 2020 and is working as Sorcha’s dental nurse. Her previous experience as an airline cabin crew member has given her great customer service skills. In her spare time, she loves to travel, cook for friends and family, and take long walks on the beach.
Jenna has recently joined our team as Zuzana’s nurse. Jenna has extensive work experience in a creche and from this work she has developed an understanding of children, which allows her to help apprehensive children who visit Tramore Dental feel at ease. In her spare time, she loves all aspects of beauty and cosmetics.
Sharon joined our team in 2017 after graduating as a hygienist from UCC, where she received the Dentsply Best Clinical Skills award. Before becoming a hygienist, she worked as a dental nurse.
