Mayor opens Bowe Dental’s New Centre of Excellence in Limerick City

It was smiles all round as the Mayor of Limerick, John Moran officially opened Bowe Dental Private’s new advanced dentistry clinic in Limerick City Centre on Friday (17th October 2025).  The newly-restored townhouse has been reimagined as a cutting-edge dental clinic, which offers complex procedures and treatments.  

The official opening event also saw the clinic awarded ‘Centre of Excellence’ status by Nobel Biocare, making Bowe Dental the only clinic in Munster to hold this accolade. 

The €2 million restoration project brings a 200 year-old jewel on Limerick’s Georgian Crescent back into operation after it lay vacant for a quarter of a century. 

Dr Robert Bowe, Founder and Lead Clinician at Bowe Dental said: 

‘With Bowe Dental Private we have created a calm and tranquil patient experience right in the heart of Limerick City Centre.  Housed in our beautifully restored Georgian townhouse, we provide next generation dentistry with a good old fashioned bedside manner that puts patients first. 

‘Our advanced digital technology makes it easier for our patients to see and understand their treatment plans with confidence.  It also allows us to complete transformative care faster and more efficiently, helping to minimise anxiety, disruption and downtime.  

‘Reinstating this building to its former glory is consistent with our track record in caring for our patients at Bowe Dental - restoring smiles and enhancing quality of life. 

‘I can’t think of a streetscape in the country to beat Limerick’s Crescent, and I hope this project will help preserve it for future generations to enjoy.’ 

The Mayor of Limerick, John Moran said: 

“The restoration of this wonderful building is a vote of confidence in Limerick City Centre and helps to preserve its enviable Georgian heritage. It may have been easier to have chosen an out of town modern location. However, Bowe Dental is a local, homegrown Limerick business offering world-class care which has been part of the Limerick community for sixteen years now.  Today's opening event showcases not just their impressive expertise and technology, and their strong focus on enhancing patient experience, but Rob’s pride in Limerick and desire to do his bit to help regeneration of his city. He is to be applauded for that decision.”
