I love the guys and girls in Pearls. Extremely professional, informative and friendly. They provided a wonderful service for my orthodontics and I’m delighted with the results.
A brilliant experience at Kildare Dental. All staff members were very friendly and professional.
Rory and the team are absolutely amazing. Having had several dentists over the years, I was eager to have a reliable one I could go back to when I needed checkups. Rory always took the time to explain everything to me and make me comfortable. All the staff are great and I couldn't recommend them more!
I would like to say huge Thank You to Dr Darren Hill, who was very supportive, helpful, understanding, gentle, undertaking and calm with me! I walked in with pain and walked out with a solution and long term support plan! Thank you 🙏🏼 I do appreciate your help today.
My brother and I recently got our braces off after only about 18 months of wearing braces. The difference is fenomenal for such a short amount of time given the severity of our teeth. The care and the detail that went into our teeth was so beyond above standard and I would recommend this orthodontist to absolutely anybody. The staff is so polite and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Just been to Balbriggan dental and implants for extractions I had 3. OMG. Dr Zaky is so nice for anyone who has a fear of dentists he really puts you at ease. Staff were so pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend 5 star rating for sure.
I had an incredible experience here, Dr. Hazem and the entire team were outstanding from start to finish. I came in with a painful wisdom tooth and was seen quickly with an emergency appointment on a Saturday, which I really appreciated. Dr. Hazeem extracted the tooth the following week with such care and skill, making me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. The aftercare was above and beyond – they even called to check on me afterward, which shows how much they truly care about their patients. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dentist. 10/10 service!
A really lovely practice when we walked in a lovely girl Holly on reception was so pleasant.dr zaky was very nice and gentle with my mam the service was quick and efficient a lovely girl edel helped us also will definitely be back 😊
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
10/10 experience rang on a Saturday and they got me in with an emergency app then followed up needing a root canal I was so nervous but they all made sure I got in and got it done to get me out of pain, calmed me down so much when I was there constantly reassuring me because I was nervous and it was great not a bit like what I was worried about. Amazing staff 👏🏽 Gorgeous dentist so clean.
