Treatment Coordinator
Sandra Rapple
Hi, I’m Sandra. I have been an orthodontic nurse in this practice for the past 19 years and I still love what I do. I really enjoy meeting children, teens and adult patients, and supporting them through their orthodontic treatment. We have a fun team here and it’s a great place to work.
In my free time, I enjoy getting stuck in to all aspects of DIY and gardening and I’m a yoga and motorbike holiday nut too!

Practice Manager
Caroline Morris
Hi, I’m Caroline. After previously working as a dental nurse in a General Dental Practice, I started working at SOP in Dun Laoghaire in 1984, before the practice relocated to Glenageary in 1989.
I ventured over to the UK for two years in the early 90’s, and returned and took up where I left off and as a front-of-house receptionist. I really enjoy what I do, and think we have a great team in place to help achieve fantastic smiles for our patients.
