McEvoy dental are definitely the best dental practice I’ve ever dealt with. Dr. Jannis Heinrich is an exceptional dentist and a really great person to deal with. I am delighted that I changed to this dental practice. Would definitely recommend.

If you're like me and you didn't spend as much time in the dentist chair during your childhood years, it's never too late and this is the practice to visit. Lorraine, Tracy and all the girls on the front desk help to create a calm, welcoming atmosphere from the minute you walk through the door. Treatment wise, I've had fillings, crowns and most recently, an implant. The standard of care never drops - I've seen Haitham, Darren & Hazem and I would recommend all of them. Treatment plans are prepared for customers to help you understand your own personal journey. Protect your smile - let the team help you!!!

Deano and the team were very patient and understanding of my dentist-phobia right from the start.

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Jannis Heinrich and the team at McEvoy Dental for their exceptional care and professionalism during what was an incredibly distressing time for me. After a deeply disappointing dental experience in Turkey, where I was misled into undergoing substandard composite bonding, I was left feeling disfigured, embarrassed, and utterly heartbroken. Dr. Heinrich carefully assessed the damage, explained the process of removing the bonding, and worked meticulously to restore my teeth to their natural state. The results were nothing short of remarkable—he gave me back my smile and, more importantly, my confidence. The technician working alongside Dr. Heinrich was equally exceptional—patient and attentive. Their calm, reassuring demeanour and genuine compassion made an overwhelming situation feel manageable.

Moved to this dental practice after a few recommendations. I had a fantastic experience from the moment I changed to this dental practice. The receptionist was very welcoming and had already obtained my prior Dental records. I have attended a few times now from check ups to consultation for future work. All very professional while maintaining a personable and friendly demeanour. The pricing is very fair and good value for money with the work completed. I would highly recommend.Thanks again to the whole practice. 🦷 😁

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.

Denzel Dube

Dr. Naomi Rahman and her team are great. She's the best dentist I've come across in Ireland with a professional and caring approach and great communication skills. She was patient to listen to any queries clarify the entire process and next steps. She certainly had the skills to perform a small surgery exceeding my expectations! I was really worried about the surgery prior to my first appointment, but it went smoothly and painless. I'm really happy with the outcome and I recommend her to anyone. Thank you Dr. Naomi.

Our daughter has just had her braces removed. We are very happy with the work done. We chose Castleknock Orthodontics from a recommendation by a friend and in turn would recommend them.

Teresa Gogarty

I had a fantastic experience at Sundrive Dental. I was in so much pain when I arrived, but Anne Marie, the receptionist, was warm and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Renan and Nurse Maria were amazing—professional yet personal. They assessed my situation quickly and performed the emergency procedure seamlessly, answering all my questions and putting me at ease. The clinic was spotless, and their infection control was top-notch. This team sets the bar high for dental care. Highly recommend!

Do I need to see the hygienist too?

Yes - while the dentist checks for problems, our dental hygiene team focuses on deep cleaning and gum health.
