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...

Brilliant Dentist and Brilliant Staff
Incredible! I was very nervous attending for an extraction. The team here are exceptional. The professionalism and courtesy extended to me from Fiona at the front desk to Naomi and her team was fantastic even when appointment times slid due to an earlier emergency. I did take the option for sedation which from start to finish was painless. One week later, no issues and all is well.
I have been a patient at this Practice for a number of years because of their excellent Patient focused approach. Dr. Paul Mc Evoy is a very experienced and very well qualified Dentist. On a twice yearly basis I have an appointment with Clodagh the Dental Hygienist who does an amazing job and offers helpful advice. I have no hesitation in recommending this Dental Practice 10 out of 10!
Excellent experience, I highly recommend. I went in to fix a really nasty fracture on my upper left front tooth. It wasn't the first time that has happened to me because my bite is a little wonky and it makes my teeth brittle. I was really embarrassed of my appearance, but I was greeted with a lovely smile and everyone at the clinic was so kind. I felt at ease. Dr. Renan especially as he explained all my options to me so I could make the most informed decision. He even went out of his way to fix my bite to prevent the tooth from fracturing again. The tooth looks beautiful now and I feel confident again. 10/10
I had a great experience with Plaza Dental in Smithfield & Castleknock. I got 6 month braces as I needed my teeth to be straight for my wedding in October. The staff were so accomodating and made sure I got the results within the tight timeframe. Everyone at the clinic are so welcoming and friendly which put me to ease, especially Gosia. Since the first day, Gosia was so kind and helpful and always checked in to see my progress. I am so grateful to have Aoife fix my teeth as she did an amazing job and she also came in on her days off just to check my teeth. I am so thankful for Gosia and Aoife for giving me the smile I wanted, which has massively helped with my confidence. I will 100% recommend Plaza Dental to my family and friends.
Very helpful, friendly staff and highly comphrehence work. Willing to resolve any areas of my Orthodontic treatment that I wasn't 100% happy with regardless of how long it would take. Thank you again to Ronan, Natalia and everyone else in Castleknock Orthodontics
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!
Just competed my orthodontic treatment plan at Pearls Maynooth and would highly recommend. From the initial consultation with Dr. Perry to majority of the treatment with the wonderful Gabby I couldn’t be happier with the results. Just over 18 months of clear braces and the finished look is way more than I expected! All of the team are so friendly and accommodating. The appointments are quick and convenient with availability before 9am and after 5pm ideal! Emma & Katie on reception always so helpful and efficient. Thank you Pearls for my new smile 😁
Very professional, caring and kind. Great job fixing my teeth, highly recommend 👌
This is my second appointment with Dr Anne Marie, she is so calm, gentle and professional. Also for the first time ever I am so looking forward for my dentist appointment and is almost the same feeling like I am in the right hairdresser 😆 I know is strange to say this but is truth Thank you Dr Anne Marie
