Dental Care Ireland Killarney Wins ‘Caring Dental Team of the Year 2023’. We are thrilled to announce that Dental Care Ireland Killarney, formerly Fuller Dental, has been awarded Colgate’s Caring Dental Team of the Year for 2023. This family-oriented practice, led by brothers Dr. David and Dr. Declan Fuller, is setting new standards for patient care in Kerry.

A Commitment to Patient Care

Dental Care Ireland Killarney were nominated for Colgate’s Caring Dental Team of the Year by a patient with chronic pain syndrome and arthritis. In nominating, their patient said “Their exceptional patience and flexibility in accommodating the patient’s unique challenges, set them apart. In addition, their commitment to providing emergency care during the pandemic showcases a dedication to the well-being of their patients.”

The patient, who has been attending Dental Care Ireland Killarney for many years, expressed gratitude for the exceptional care they received from the Fuller brothers and their team. “Despite facing the challenges of managing chronic pain and utilising crutches for mobility, the team’s unwavering patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. There were instances when I had to cancel appointments on short notice due to the immense pain, the team always displayed remarkable compassion. During the pandemic, the team ensured I received the necessary emergency care that I needed.”

At Dental Care Ireland, care is at the centre of everything we do. This is why the Colgate Caring Dental Team Award is such a great acknowledgement for our Killarney team. This is Dental Care Ireland’s second major award of 2023, it comes on the back of ‘Employer of The Year’ at The Irish Dentistry Awards in September.

The Colgate Recognition

Talking about the award, Dr. David Fuller says “An award of any sort is great at any time, but such recognition from one’s patients and one’s peers magnifies that accolade wonderfully. It’s a huge boost to our team, and we’d like to thank everyone involved. This includes the Dental Care Ireland group, who I’d like to thank for the technology investment, but always allowing us to prioritise patient care at all times”.

The Fuller Brothers: Caring Kerrymen 

At the heart of Dental Care Ireland Killarney are the Fuller brothers, Dr. David and Dr. Declan. Born and bred in Killarney, Dr. David graduated from UCC in 1978 and set up Fuller Dental in 1980. His brother, Dr. Declan joined him at Fuller Dental in 1998 and the brothers have been providing dental care to the people of Killarney ever since.

Outside of their practice, the Fuller brothers are heavily involved in their local community. They both take part in their local rugby and cycling clubs, and Dr. Declan can often be found refereeing local rugby matches!
