I just had my first visit to McEvoy Dental. I saw Dr. Ricardo who was extremely friendly and professional. He did a thorough examination and advised me about my next course of treatment. I am usually a bit nervous...

OMG - this man is to teeth that Ronaldo is to football. The undisputed goat of oral healthcare. Went in with serious toothache and came out with not only a filling but a sugar free lollipop. Gum disease is no laughing matter but made me feel less guilty about the 27 calipos I have during the summer.I was apprehensive due to my anaesthetic allergy but his alternative pain numbing procedure was not only pleasant but life affirming. God speed to those who go elsewhere, you put your life in danger ⚠️

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

Joanne Mcgivern

Best dental experience of my life, had been putting off going to the dentist for too long and decided it was time to fix my smile. Dr Sammy resolved my dental issues and was completely transparent and honest through out the entire process, the actual dentistry was quick and painless for the most part, any questions I needed an answer to after the procedure was a phone call away and that is also majorly due to Ann Marie’s great customer service on the front desk. Highly recommend going to Sundrive dental.

I don't usually write reviews online, but after today's consultation with Dr. Gosia, I feel compelled to share my experience and recommend this dental clinic to everyone. I scheduled an appointment because I've been wearing braces for a year, which I had gotten at a different clinic, and I had a feeling that the person handling my treatment was not doing it properly and was unnecessarily prolonging it. I received a referral to Dr. Gosia, so I booked an appointment and was warmly welcomed. The diagnosis was done very professionally, including a dental scan and x-rays. I also learned about the treatment plan, its conclusion, and the post-treatment checkup. Everything is included in the price at this clinic, and they truly pay attention to every detail to ensure that the patient is happy with their new smile. I'd like to add that Dr. Gosia was not only highly professional but also incredibly kind and friendly. Her warm and caring demeanor made the whole experience even more pleasant, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. I couldn't have asked for a better dentist to guide me through this journey to a healthier smile.

After many years of avoiding dental visits I developed severe dental issues. I attended Dr Renan and he changed my life for the better. Since getting my implants, I am no longer embarrassed to speak or smile. The care was second to none. Dara is also amazing. She made me feel so relaxed during each visit and Dr Renan was so kind and gentle. All reception staff lovely too. I could not recommend Friary Court Dental highly enough.

Elizabeth Phelan

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.

I’ve visited the dental clinic for the first time today and I have to say the service and attention to detail have been outstanding. My dental issue was fixed within the hour and I left a very satisfied customer. Dr Darren (I hope I got the name and person right) took very good care of my teeth explained the whole procedure in detail and made sure I’m aware of any potential issues that might come up in the future based on his assessment. I want to say thank you to the whole team for the quick turnaround as I needed the appointment sooner and I will be definitely a returning patient.

My experience in pearls dental was nothing but positive. The staff are great and I was made feel comfortable throughout every step of my orthodontic treatment. I’m over the moon with my results!

Jade Brennan

I had the best experience in Pearls. I had 6 months of invisalign and Dr Ronan, Gabbie and all of the team couldn't have been more helpful and lovely. Delighted with my results and would highly recommend their practice!

Joy Bliekendaal

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.

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.
