I cannot recommend Pearls Dental enough. I constantly encourage my friends and family to use their services as I have never had such a positive experience in a dentistry before. I began my Invisalign journey with Pearls in September of last year, and with every visit I felt reassured, encouraged and supported. I have always feared the dentist however during my time at pearls I began to look forward to my appointments as I was always left feeling happy. The staff are second to none, from the receptionists to the dental nurses and dentists I can not say thank you enough! Every single person I encountered were so genuine and lovely and I will continue to use pearls as my dentist going forward. I am so happy with my new smile and the entire experience has been wonderful. 10/10 would recommend!

Dr Dana Lica was very friendly and professional. I had to get an emergency filling and it was totally painless. Despite it being the last appointment of the day, Dana and her assistant stayed on late to get my filling completed. They did not rush and even did additional treatments. I would highly recommend.

I’ve been receiving dental treatment from KDC for several months now and I cannot recommend their clinic enough. Every visit I am met with warm welcomes and smiles by all the staff and always made feel safe through out my treatments. The customer support I received post procedure has been outstanding also. Highly recommended!

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. 🦷 😁

Victoria Rossborough

Exceptional Invisalign experience! The clinic not only delivered outstanding results but also exceeded my expectations with their exceptional customer service. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and comfortable journey. Grateful for their expertise and care—highly recommend!

Clayton Miranda

Excellent dental practice. Would highly recommend Shane for any procedure, as he is relaxed, friendly and highly professional

Roeland Doherty

Excellent! I am generally nervous when it comes to dentist appointments and, sadly, have been putting them away time after time because of that and previous not-so-great-experience with dentists in my life. But at Pearls I felt instantly welcomed and at ease, thanks to both staff at the reception desk and also the dentist and nurse themselves. The dentist explained every process of the exam to me and gave me suggestions for options regarding my treatment plan and I also felt I am in good hands and in a friendly environment. I would not had said this before, but I am looking forward to my next appointment at Pearls Maynooth. Thank you.

Silvia Smwl

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.

Very professional, caring and kind. Great job fixing my teeth, highly recommend 👌

Joanne Mcgivern

Brought our eldest here. She's nervous generally about the dentist but Suzanne in Pearls Dental was great with her altogether now. She piped up in the car on the way home 'daddy, not all dentists are bad just some of them'. Says it all, 5 star service with smiles!

What’s the secret to maintaining polished, clean and smooth teeth?

We are often asked this question. Our answer is good dental hygiene and regular visits with the dental hygienist at our practices across Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare.

Good dental hygiene is the most successful way of preventing long-term dental problems. It also ensures that any treatments you receive will be effective and long-lasting. Needless to say, it also helps to raise your general level of well-being.

What does a dental hygienist do?

A dental hygienist specialises in cleaning teeth and preventing diseases from taking hold. They will also help prevent the onset of calculus that leads to cavities, gum disease and more serious dental problems.

Here are some of the services that a dental hygienist will provide:

  • Scaling and polishing to treat gingivitis (bleeding gums)
  • Deep cleaning to treat periodontal disease (advanced gum disease)
  • Advising the best oral hygiene routine for your teeth
  • Identifying the potential source and treating bad breath
  • Applying fluoride, fissure sealants and other strengthening agents to the teeth
  • Air Flow Therapy

How will I feel after a hygiene appointment?

You will feel more self-confident after a visit to a dental hygienist due to their role in advising on dental hygiene routine, teeth whitening and treating bad breath.

How often should I see a hygienist?

It is advisable that you see a dental hygienist every 4–6 months. However, you must have had a dental check-up within the last 18 months before visiting a hygienist.

What is Air Flow Therapy?

Air Flow Therapy is a new, pain-free teeth cleaning treatment that removes surface staining such as coffee, tea, tobacco and red wine quickly and efficiently from the teeth surface. Air flow uses a mixture of air, warm jet water and sodium bicarbonate to polish your teeth.

The treatment can be repeated regularly and is suitable for both adults and children. It’s ideal for orthodontic and hypersensitive patients and can be used safely around implants, crowns, bridges and veneers, leaving you with a brighter, whiter smile. Additionally, it can be used to brighten your smile prior to special occasions such as weddings and holidays.
