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 .
I did invisalign braces system and very happy with the treatment. Will recommend as orthodontic clinic.Which I did already to couple of people who've asked me about my feedback and all.
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!

I have been a patient at this Practice for a number of years because of their excellent Patient focused approach. Dr. Paul Mc Evoy is a very experienced and very well qualified Dentist. On a twice yearly basis I have an appointment with Clodagh the Dental Hygienist who does an amazing job and offers helpful advice. I have no hesitation in recommending this Dental Practice 10 out of 10!
Best dental experience of my life, had been putting off going to the dentist for too long and decided it was time to fix my smile. Dr Sammy resolved my dental issues and was completely transparent and honest through out the entire process, the actual dentistry was quick and painless for the most part, any questions I needed an answer to after the procedure was a phone call away and that is also majorly due to Ann Marie’s great customer service on the front desk. Highly recommend going to Sundrive dental.
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.
Dr Ronan is one of the best doctors and best person I have met and also the great team at the clinic, everyone is so nice and helpful. I went for an Invisalign treatment and it was done very well with everyone’s support.
I cannot recommend Pearls Dental enough. I constantly encourage my friends and family to use their services as I have never had such a positive experience in a dentistry before. I began my Invisalign journey with Pearls in September of last year, and with every visit I felt reassured, encouraged and supported. I have always feared the dentist however during my time at pearls I began to look forward to my appointments as I was always left feeling happy. The staff are second to none, from the receptionists to the dental nurses and dentists I can not say thank you enough! Every single person I encountered were so genuine and lovely and I will continue to use pearls as my dentist going forward. I am so happy with my new smile and the entire experience has been wonderful. 10/10 would recommend!
I’ve visited the dental clinic for the first time today and I have to say the service and attention to detail have been outstanding. My dental issue was fixed within the hour and I left a very satisfied customer. Dr Darren (I hope I got the name and person right) took very good care of my teeth explained the whole procedure in detail and made sure I’m aware of any potential issues that might come up in the future based on his assessment. I want to say thank you to the whole team for the quick turnaround as I needed the appointment sooner and I will be definitely a returning patient.

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.
