My first time in this dental clinic and found their services are really good. starting at the front desk where Nathalia was helpful and arranged everything for me and then Renan took care of rest doing a really good job on my teeth. I am happy and recommend their services.

My brother and I recently got our braces off after only about 18 months of wearing braces. The difference is fenomenal for such a short amount of time given the severity of our teeth. The care and the detail that went into our teeth was so beyond above standard and I would recommend this orthodontist to absolutely anybody. The staff is so polite and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Ava Bell

The attention was impeccable! I was really worried about getting my wisdom teeth extracted but the dental assistants explained me all the process in order to make me feel more calmed.

Both my husband and I had a check up and clean with Dr Rory and his assistant. Very pleasant experience, Dr Rory is gentle and found him very thorough performing an oral cancer screening and perio check of my gums during the exam which not all dentists do. Would definitely recommend. Thumbs up from us!

Courtney Doyle

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.

Danielle Byrne

Great experience from my initial consultation to finishing Invisalign treatment 14 months later. Staff are so friendly, it’s easy to make appointments and very efficient when you’re there. Huge thanks to Gabi, Dr Perry and team - am delighted with the results. Would highly recommend this clinic!

Emma Daly

I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Jannis Heinrich for his professional assistance in an emergency situation with my son. Dr. Heinrich not only provided prompt and high-quality treatment, but also showed incredible compassion and care, which greatly supported us during a difficult time. It is especially impressive how easily Dr. Heinrich connects with children. My son felt trust, and after having his tooth extracted, he walked out of the office with a smile on his face and now happily visits this dental clinic. Dr. Jannis Heinrich is a true master of his craft and a top-level professional. He treated my cavity quickly and painlessly, improved the aesthetics of my smile, and also successfully placed two crowns in just one day. He treats every patient with care and deep attention. Dr. Heinrich is a prime example of what a progressive, modern dentist should be — someone who truly loves their profession and their work! McEvoy Dental Clinic has a special atmosphere — it’s cozy, calm, and genuinely feels like home. A million thanks to the entire staff of McEvoy Dental Clinic for your warmth and the exceptionally high standards of medical service.
