Dr Naomi Rahman and her nurse are amazing, stress free and pain free experience with smooth recovery. (removal of 4 wisdom teeth in 2 sessions)
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 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.
My visit was with Dr Zaid, he was very kind and put me at ease. The treatment I received was thorough and really professional, I would highly recommend
Amazing experience with Dr Anna for two fillings, felt so comfortable. Really friendly staff too.
Hi my experience with Friary Court Dental has been life changing for me. From the day I walked in for a consultation with Professor of Implantology Dr Renan Devita and Dental nurse Dara Maher, Dr Devita went through all the procedures in detail. The care and after care was second to none. The compliments that I have got after my implants are amazing. My whole mouth was reconstructed by Dr Devita (I got my smile back). The price was reasonable. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for implants to give Friary Court Dental a call.
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 ⚠️
Our son completed his treatment this week and is delighted with the results . Dr Perry , Gabby and all the team were terrific throughout and the whole experience was excellent and stress free. Our daughter just got her braces this week and I'm confident she will have the same great results. The whole team are so professional and helpful and very accommodating when it comes to appointments and visits. I highly recommend Dr Perry and his team Karen
I had the best experience in Pearls. I had 6 months of invisalign and Dr Ronan, Gabbie and all of the team couldn't have been more helpful and lovely. Delighted with my results and would highly recommend their practice!
I'm normally very nervous at the dentist but the experience I had at sundrive dentist put me completely at ease The dentist and nurse were so gentle and so professional Did a great job on my teeth and made me feel ill go back Sorry I can't remember the dentists name but thank you so much sundrive dental

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.
