As I am totally terrified of the dentist , I cannot praise the level of care, respect and professional treatment I received for my tooth Extraction, today Oct 21st, from Emma at Reception , to Sammy my Dentist and his dental nurse thank you so much for taking the fear of dentist away. Would highly recommend Pearls Maynooth to anyone needing Dental treatment.

Tom Whelan

Would highly recommend David for any implant or cosmetic procedures. I’ve had an implant for 12 years and David changed the crown and filled my smaller canines so I have now a straighter smile. Staff are very friendly and welcoming . Will be back for future treatment.

Danielle Byrne

Very professional. All of the team in Pearls were very friendly. The care and follow-up were thorough and my Invisalign treatment even finished a little ahead of schedule.

Hi my experience with Friary Court Dental has been life changing for me. From the day I walked in for a consultation with Professor of Implantology Dr Renan Devita and Dental nurse Dara Maher, Dr Devita went through all the procedures in detail. The care and after care was second to none. The compliments that I have got after my implants are amazing. My whole mouth was reconstructed by Dr Devita (I got my smile back). The price was reasonable. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for implants to give Friary Court Dental a call.

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!

Peter Clerihan

I had an excellent experience at McEvoy Dental Clinic for a recent filling. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming and professional. The dentist explained the procedure clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout, and the work was done quickly and painlessly. The filling looks and feels completely natural. The clinic is modern, spotless, and runs on time, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend McEvoy Dental Clinic for anyone needing dental work done with care and precision!

Kevin Brannigan

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.

Alan Murphy

Deano and the team were very patient and understanding of my dentist-phobia right from the start.

I came across the Dental House Castleknock Orthodontics & Implant Care's website on Google when I searched for orthodontists around the Blanchardstown area and thankfully, my first consultation with Dr Perry was quickly arranged. Before I attended my first consultation, I was concerned about the different factors that may potentially affect my personal or work life because of undergoing a braces treatment. However, I felt reassured after our discussion as Dr Perry patiently explained my situation and provided different suggestions (or perspectives). Then I was greeted by Gabby when I had my first appointment, and honestly speaking, I have been restless for this appointment. Thankfully, Gabby and the team's professionalism and kindness have made this appointment a more lighthearted and smooth event. It has been around 18 months since my first appointment, and I have removed my braces this morning! I am very grateful for the time I have spent with the Dental House Castleknock Orthodontics & Implant Care team; it was a professional, kind, and reassuring experience.

Great friendly crew. Super seamless. My old front tooth composite fell out before work and they got me booked in for 9:30am the next day. Dentist was totally sound, did a great job and wasn't crazy pushy with the upsells like other brands I could mention. WIll 100% be back when I need something. Thanks!

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.
