Keeping our patients smiling

Most people might describe us as dentists, but what we really do is help people smile again. You know how most dentists tell their patients what they need, well, we listen to what you really want and then offer you a choice of different ways to get you that smile - the one that's going to give you more confidence in your job and your social life.

Using our team of dentists, specialists, hygienists, nurses and receptionists, we will tailor your treatment to suit your personal requirements. 

We wish, with your help, to maintain your smile for many years to come.

Our History

The Comber Dental Practice building started life as the home of the manager of the now defunct, Old Comber Whiskey Distillery, and was built in the early 19th century. The whiskey business was obviously thriving as the building was very well constructed with its eye-catching chimneys. The Murphy family then took possession of the house with father and son, John, both living and working as GPs from number 18. In 1993 it was sold and was re-invented as Comber Dental Practice, which had relocated from premises adjacent to the Northern Bank on Killinchy Street.

Over the last number of years the building has needed a little TLC, with a new roof, chimney repairs, driveway and other items, but for the most part the house is as good as, or maybe even a little better than, the day it was built.
