Deano and the team were very patient and understanding of my dentist-phobia right from the start.

Lisa O'Rourke

I started my smile journey last November with Dr. Hazem and from my first consultant to my final teeth I have to say I am absolutely blown away with the whole experience and results. Totally pain free extractions and I even had a filling done without anaesthetic and never felt a thing. Aftercare was amazing and Dr. Hazem ensured that I was happy with my results.

Suzanne (dentist) and Julia (nurse) were amazing! I would normally be quite nervous going to the dentist, but they put me at ease immediately. Suzanne was very knowledgable and really put care and thought into describing the pros and cons of each of my treatment options. Thanks guys!

Jamie Kane

Very professional. All of the team in Pearls were very friendly. The care and follow-up were thorough and my Invisalign treatment even finished a little ahead of schedule.

I came across the Dental House Castleknock Orthodontics & Implant Care's website on Google when I searched for orthodontists around the Blanchardstown area and thankfully, my first consultation with Dr Perry was quickly arranged. Before I attended my first consultation, I was concerned about the different factors that may potentially affect my personal or work life because of undergoing a braces treatment. However, I felt reassured after our discussion as Dr Perry patiently explained my situation and provided different suggestions (or perspectives). Then I was greeted by Gabby when I had my first appointment, and honestly speaking, I have been restless for this appointment. Thankfully, Gabby and the team's professionalism and kindness have made this appointment a more lighthearted and smooth event. It has been around 18 months since my first appointment, and I have removed my braces this morning! I am very grateful for the time I have spent with the Dental House Castleknock Orthodontics & Implant Care team; it was a professional, kind, and reassuring experience.

Excellent experience, I highly recommend. I went in to fix a really nasty fracture on my upper left front tooth. It wasn't the first time that has happened to me because my bite is a little wonky and it makes my teeth brittle. I was really embarrassed of my appearance, but I was greeted with a lovely smile and everyone at the clinic was so kind. I felt at ease. Dr. Renan especially as he explained all my options to me so I could make the most informed decision. He even went out of his way to fix my bite to prevent the tooth from fracturing again. The tooth looks beautiful now and I feel confident again. 10/10

I had severe tooth pain and needed an examination. The staff are amazing, so friendly and extremely helpful. They managed to book me a root canal treatment that very day. I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone!

Jason Quigley

Had the best experience with dr. Oana Ursache, got composite bonding on one tooth and it came out perfect. A really pleasant experience and felt completely taken care of.

Aimee Foley

What can I say about McEvoy Dental? It is absolutely phenomenal. The waiting area is spotlessly clean, as are the doctors’ offices. Natalie at reception is extremely personable and friendly, ensuring all patients are well looked after. Dr. Jannis is highly knowledgeable and professional. I wish I could give them more stars. Well done, McEvoy Dental, you have an exceptional clinic.
