Very professional and skilled, top to bottom. Cannot recommend them more highly. Shane is so thorough and informative, and lets you know every step of the way what’s going on so there are no surprises. Very calming, as well. The staff is friendly and very professional from the moment you walk in and throughout your appointment. They don’t try to sell you services you don’t need like other dentists in town. I highly recommend for everyone and thanks to the entire team for such life changing work

I went in for a consultation regarding having a crown replaced . Dr Hazem and his team were very patient and took the time to explain the whole process to me as I was nervous because it was my front tooth . After the consultation, I booked straight away, I went in yesterday to have it done, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome . Again, there was no rushing me , Dr. Hazem and his staff were very friendly and patient, and even when it came to closing time, they didn't rush me once . Would highly recommend, excellent service and very friendly staff .

Just completed Invisalign treatment and would like to give Gosih a special mention, she was absolutely fantastic, kind and always friendly and most importantly answered all our questions and concerns and always gave us plenty of time to discuss any queries. She was truly fantastic and the one constant we could rely on at every visit. Thanks Gosih

I had an excellent experience at McEvoy Dental Clinic for a recent filling. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming and professional. The dentist explained the procedure clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout, and the work was done quickly and painlessly. The filling looks and feels completely natural. The clinic is modern, spotless, and runs on time, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend McEvoy Dental Clinic for anyone needing dental work done with care and precision!

My daughter had her braces removed today and the results are amazing. Every appointment ran smoothly and all staff from the reception to the dentist's chair were friendly and informative at all times. We would highly recommend Pearls to our friends & family. Continue the great work. Ps. The one4allvoucher was the icing on the cake!!! Thank u :)

Theresa McHale

Great friendly crew. Super seamless. My old front tooth composite fell out before work and they got me booked in for 9:30am the next day. Dentist was totally sound, did a great job and wasn't crazy pushy with the upsells like other brands I could mention. WIll 100% be back when I need something. Thanks!

OMG - this man is to teeth that Ronaldo is to football. The undisputed goat of oral healthcare. Went in with serious toothache and came out with not only a filling but a sugar free lollipop. Gum disease is no laughing matter but made me feel less guilty about the 27 calipos I have during the summer.I was apprehensive due to my anaesthetic allergy but his alternative pain numbing procedure was not only pleasant but life affirming. God speed to those who go elsewhere, you put your life in danger ⚠️

Andrew McCormack

Called in to query getting wisdom teeth removed and got taken care off the very next day with affordable prices. The staff are very friendly and make you feel at ease when you step foot especially Ann Marie. Overall great experience dealing with them and big thanks to Dr Sam and team.

Everything you need to know about gummy smile solutions in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare

Gummy Smile

What is a gummy smile?

A gummy smile is when the upper lip sits high above the top teeth, showing a large area of gum when you smile. This can happen for a number of reasons, including excess gum tissue, a hyperactive upper lip, or the way teeth and jawbone develop.

The right solution depends on the cause. Options include anti-wrinkle treatment to relax the upper lip, fixed braces to improve dental development, or cosmetic dentistry to reshape teeth and gums. We’ll assess your smile and recommend the most suitable option.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most treatments are quick and comfortable. For non-surgical options, you may only feel mild pressure from tiny injections. For orthodontic or dental treatments, we’ll ensure you are completely comfortable throughout.

What questions do patients in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare ask about gummy smile treatment?

questions
answered

What is a gummy smile?

A gummy smile occurs when too much gum shows above the top teeth when you smile. In an ideal smile, the upper lip sits just above the teeth. If you feel self-conscious about your gummy smile, treatments are available to help.

What causes a gummy smile?

Gummy smiles can be caused by several factors:

  1. Overgrowth of tissue: Excess gum tissue covers too much of your teeth, making them look shorter than they are.
  2. Hyperactive upper lip: Muscles that control the upper lip may lift it too far, exposing more gum.
  3. Dental development: The way your teeth and jawbone develop can contribute to a gummy smile.

How can a gummy smile be treated?

Treatment depends on the cause of your gummy smile. Solutions may include:

  • Injections to relax a hyperactive upper lip.
  • Braces to adjust dental development.

How do you determine the best solution?

Your dentist will assess your gums, teeth and jawbone to understand the cause of your gummy smile. Every patient is unique, so we tailor the treatment specifically to you.

What is the consultation process?

  1. Book a consultation: Discuss your smile and your goals with a skilled clinician at one of our practices across Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare.
  2. Detailed analysis: We examine your mouth, gum tissue and jawbone structure to determine the best treatment.
  3. Personalised plan: A treatment plan is created around your needs and schedule, including follow-up appointments if required.
