What can I say about McEvoy Dental? It is absolutely phenomenal. The waiting area is spotlessly clean, as are the doctors’ offices. Natalie at reception is extremely personable and friendly, ensuring all patients are well looked after. Dr. Jannis is highly knowledgeable and professional. I wish I could give them more stars. Well done, McEvoy Dental, you have an exceptional clinic.

Haven't been to the dentist in a few years & felt a bit apprehensive. From the moment I walked into the clinic everyone was so friendly. Dr Darren Hill was so welcoming & put me at ease. He was very thorough & explained everything. Would highly recommend, thank you 😊

Louise Heffernan

Best dental experience I ever had. I was terrified of going but from the start AnnMarie answered all my questions by email she was so helpful then greeted me with a friendly smile at the front desk. Dr Sammy was amazing he made me feel at ease I wasn’t 20 minutes in the room and had my wisdom tooth extracted. I couldn’t believe I had no pain at all it was unbelievable. I’m now 2 days after and didn’t have to take a painkiller all went so smooth. Thanks again.

questions
answered

How often should I have a dental exam?

We recommend every 6-12 months. Patients in Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, Kimmage, Balbriggan, and Artane often find that regular visits save them from more complex and expensive treatment later.

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.
