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...

My daughter had her braces removed today and the results are amazing. Every appointment ran smoothly and all staff from the reception to the dentist's chair were friendly and informative at all times. We would highly recommend Pearls to our friends & family. Continue the great work. Ps. The one4allvoucher was the icing on the cake!!! Thank u :)
A brilliant experience at Kildare Dental. All staff members were very friendly and professional.
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!
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.
I love the guys and girls in Pearls. Extremely professional, informative and friendly. They provided a wonderful service for my orthodontics and I’m delighted with the results.
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.
Would 100% recommend Shane in kildare dental centre. Not only is he professional, he put me at ease in an instant as someone who’s very nervous I didn’t feel that way at all with him. He was happy to repeat and re-explain everything. The waiting room had really calming music which helped my nerves, it’s was very bright and welcoming. The staff at the desk were really friendly and helpful ! Would happily recommend !!
Paul and Clodagh are respectively possibly the best dentist and dental hygienist in Dublin. They have looked after me for years and have always done so with great skill, the utmost of care, sensitivity and effectiveness. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
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.
