Specialist Orthodontist – Dublin
Excellence in Orthodontics with Care that Puts People First

Dr Erfan Salloum, Specialist Orthodontist in Dublin City Centre and North County Dublin

Widely recognised as one of Ireland’s most qualified and experienced specialist orthodontists. Based in Dublin City Centre and North County Dublin, I provide advanced orthodontic care for children, teenagers, and adults. My approach combines exceptional academic training with genuine warmth and meticulous attention to detail.

Over the years, I helped thousands of patients achieve confident, healthy smiles through individually tailored treatment plans. My reputation has been built on precision, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to clinical excellence.


Academic & Professional Background

I graduated from dental school before completing a Postgraduate Certificate in Orthodontics in the United Kingdom. Afterwards, I obtained a Doctorate in Clinical Dentistry in Orthodontics (DClinDent) from University College Cork, where I received specialist training in diagnosing and managing complex orthodontic problems.

To further refine my expertise, I pursued advanced training in lingual orthodontics under Professor Dirk Wiechmann, the inventor of the WIN and Incognito systems. I then completed a Master’s Degree in Lingual Orthodontics at the University of Padova in Italy, one of Europe’s leading centres for advanced orthodontic education.

In addition to academic training, I became the only orthodontist in Ireland to hold Active Membership of both the European and World Societies of Lingual Orthodontics (ESLO and WSLO). This rare dual recognition highlights dedication to excellence in invisible braces techniques and establishes me as the leading authority in lingual orthodontics in Ireland.

Furthermore, I am also the only orthodontist in Ireland to have attained Diplomate status from the European Board of Aligner Orthodontics (EBAO). This distinction recognises world-class expertise in clear aligner treatment, including Invisalign, Spark, and Angel Aligner systems.

For this reason, I focus on creating smiles that are not just beautiful but also healthy and stable in the long term. My Philosophy is simple:
Deliver world-class orthodontic results through clinical excellence, compassion, and care that puts people first.
