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.

We are very happy with Pearls Dental Clinic and Dr Perry and the whole team. They were at all times friendly and professional. My daughter had Invisalign and my son had braces and they both have really good results. Every appointment ran smoothly and all staff from the reception to the dentists were friendly, informative and very professional at all times. We would highly recommend Pearls to friends & family.

Fiona Carroll

Very professional and skilled, top to bottom. Cannot recommend them more highly. Shane is so thorough and informative, and lets you know every step of the way what’s going on so there are no surprises. Very calming, as well. The staff is friendly and very professional from the moment you walk in and throughout your appointment. They don’t try to sell you services you don’t need like other dentists in town. I highly recommend for everyone and thanks to the entire team for such life changing work

For someone who is absolutely terrified of the dentist I had a great experience. Dr Anna completely put me at ease and made sure I was ok throughout the experience. The surgery itself is exceptionally clean and the reception staff member was incredibly nice and again put me at ease when I came in.

I decided to give Balbriggan Dental a try after putting it off for some time after hearing the good reviews, and they lived up to them. The dentist is absolutely lovely and really put my mind at ease, superb job! I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Artane dental is a great addition to the area. Reception staff are very friendly, as is the Dentist and his assistant. The place itself is spotless clean and waiting area is very airy and comfortable, everything is explained very well. I would not hesitate in recommending this Dentist.

Your check-up
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.

What happens if I skip check-ups?

Missing regular check-ups increases your risk of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer going undetected. Many patients in Kilkenny, Dublin and Kildare return after years away, only to need treatments like root canal treatment or crowns that could have been prevented.

No - a dental examination is quick and comfortable. Our friendly team takes time to put even the most nervous patients at ease.
