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.
Diana and her team at Pearls Dental go above and beyond to ensure that their customers are delivered the highest standard of service in their Castleknock clinic. During a short unfortunate period where I was unhappy with the service I was receiving, I contacted Diana to give my feedback in which she immediately took on board and was able to accommodate me - she ensured that all of my needs were met and issued me with appropriate compensation in a very professional manner, I can’t thank them enough for their response! Such a friendly and helpful team!
I had an excellent experience here at the Artane Dental Clinic from time of booking with Dino in reception to my appt. with Dr Zaid. I was talked through everything and everyone was so lovely. I would recommend highly.
Both myself and my son are attending Pearls Dental House in Maynooth for orthodontics treatment. I would highly recommend Dr.Perry as his knowledge and expertise really put me at ease . Our overall experience has been great with excellent communication and customer care . Both myself and my son have new smiles and are really happy with the final results.
Would highly recommend David for any implant or cosmetic procedures. I’ve had an implant for 12 years and David changed the crown and filled my smaller canines so I have now a straighter smile. Staff are very friendly and welcoming . Will be back for future treatment.
Got some long overdue dental work done recently. Have to say very happy with the service .Very professional and satisfying. Shauna and all the staff are an excellent team . Highly recommended 👌
I was nervous for long time about needing to visit a dentist for a check up and some fillings. From my first call , the professionals at Sundrive Dental were amazing . Very friendly receptionists, great dentist that did perfect work. The aftercare is outstanding. Thank you so much.
Dr. Maria is truly exceptional! They were incredibly skillful and gentle, making my visit surprisingly comfortable. Their clear explanations and caring demeanor put me completely at ease. Highly recommend!
I’ve been seeing Dr.Oana Ursache for a while now, and honestly, she’s the kindest and most patient dentist I’ve ever met. From my very first visit, she made me feel completely at ease—which is saying a lot, considering I used to get pretty anxious about dental appointments 😅 She explains everything clearly, works gently, and genuinely cares—not just about the end result, but about how you feel throughout the whole process. The clinic is clean, calm, and welcoming, and everyone on her team is just as lovely and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend her, especially if you’re looking for a dentist who combines real expertise with warmth and empathy. I actually look forward to my appointments now!
Excellent! I am generally nervous when it comes to dentist appointments and, sadly, have been putting them away time after time because of that and previous not-so-great-experience with dentists in my life. But at Pearls I felt instantly welcomed and at ease, thanks to both staff at the reception desk and also the dentist and nurse themselves. The dentist explained every process of the exam to me and gave me suggestions for options regarding my treatment plan and I also felt I am in good hands and in a friendly environment. I would not had said this before, but I am looking forward to my next appointment at Pearls Maynooth. Thank you.

Your family dentistry questions answered
How can I help my child enjoy visiting the dentist?
Children aren’t born disliking the dentist - somehow, a dislike can creep in over time. At Dentistry.ie, we want to avoid that. Our dentists build a relationship with children, working with their sense of curiosity and explaining everything in a friendly environment. The sooner a child comes to see us, the better, as they are immediately put at ease. This sense of comfort helps make the next visit a pleasant experience rather than one of dread.
Why is early dental care important?
Maintaining healthy teeth and good dental habits is key from a young age. We want to prevent problems before they start, advising on a good dental hygiene routine, identifying and fixing potential issues and teaching children to care about their dental health.
What age should children have their first dental check-up?
We recommend bringing your child into our Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, Kimmage, Balbriggan or Artane practice as soon as their first teeth come through. Early visits help children get used to the dentist and allow us to spot any issues as they develop.
What if I didn’t bring my child in at an early age?
Many parents have other things on their mind when baby teeth start coming through and that’s understandable! However, the sooner you can start bringing your child to the dentist, the better. Often, children listen more to a dentist about caring for their teeth and good brushing technique than to a parent. Early visits can also allow preventative treatments, such as fissure sealants, to help reduce the risk of cavities.
What if my child is afraid of the dentist?
Bring them to Dentistry.ie. Our dentists are passionate about treating children and are committed to ensuring all children have the best possible experience. Book an appointment today. Our dentists are here to help you and your child.
