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...

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.
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
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!
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.
There are only good points with this surgery. They open on a Saturday, they gave me the best filling I've ever had - no jagged bits, no sensitivity, fits my bite perfectly and they did it so fast, The receptionist is great with people and professional. For immunocompromised people they are great again. They were happy to wear the aura respirators I bought in, donned them properly, I asked if I could bring in an air filter and they're happy with that too. They understood me wanting the 1st appointment on a quiet day and even have given me a long appointment to do the rest of the work I need so I can minimise appointments. Absolutely stellar. If you or a loved one need to be careful I thoroughly recommend them.
I recently completed my Invisalign treatment with Pearls dental in Maynooth and received fantastic service and care throughout. They made me feel at ease during appointments and were always kind, helpful and friendly! I am SO happy with my new smile and would recommend Pearls to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment.
Excellent customer service. Got invisalign braces and went from crooked teeth to straight teeth pain free, no tightening needed, no metal mouth cuts and all in 8months. Felt really taken care of. Great staff and great service
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.
My visit was with Dr Zaid, he was very kind and put me at ease. The treatment I received was thorough and really professional, I would highly recommend
Rory and the team are absolutely amazing. Having had several dentists over the years, I was eager to have a reliable one I could go back to when I needed checkups. Rory always took the time to explain everything to me and make me comfortable. All the staff are great and I couldn't recommend them more!
