With over 30 years of experience in dentistry, Dr. O'Malley developed a deep passion for minimally invasive, biological, and holistic care - an approach he continues to practice at his California-based office. 

Throughout his career, he noticed a recurring pattern: most of his patients were suffering from gum disease and tooth decay. This inspired a growing conviction that the dental field needed more advanced, holistic, and preventative oral health solutions.

Motivated by this need Dr. O'Malley began collaborating with leading research facilities across the U.S., developing innovative products and protocols to address what he calls the “silent epidemic” of oral disease. “We are changing the face of oral health across the planet, one smile at a time." And with that vision, Great Oral Health was born.
