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.

Recently in for a filling with Dr. Maria. Experience was seamless, all staff were kind, caring, efficient and accommodating. Could not fault them. The reception team in particular were so helpful and reassuring.

james keady

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

Claire Rowley

Amazing experience with Dr Anna for two fillings, felt so comfortable. Really friendly staff too.

Nicole Byrne

Dr Boggs is hands down the best dentist we've ever had. My son woke up howling of pain in his back molar, it was a complete nightmare. I brought him to Dr. Boggs And it turns out an absolute eejit dentist in Athlone botched his filling. Absolutely shocking. Dr. Shane not only alleviated the pain but sorted the tooth and did so with a gentle and loving hand. That was my son, Ciaran. I won’t even get into the problems with Mickey’s root canal. but the jist of it is I thank my lucky stars for Dr Boggs and Kildare dental; without whom as a parent you’ll never get a proper night sleep again!

Will Begley

This is an excellent dentist practice. Shane is a really lovely dentist and he makes me feel so comfortable every time I go to have my teeth checked. He gives great advice about keeping my teeth looking good! All of the staff are so kind. I would highly recommend Kildare Dental Centre to anybody.

Rachel Pearson

I had my orthodontic treatment here, and i was delighted with my end result. Dr.Perry and all his team in Castleknock Orthodontics are so helpful, friendly and caring. I could not recommend this enough to people, I did not have one bad experience, and could not fault them.

Shane Carolan

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!

Simone Matassa

Artane dental is a great addition to the area. Reception staff are very friendly, as is the Dentist and his assistant. The place itself is spotless clean and waiting area is very airy and comfortable, everything is explained very well. I would not hesitate in recommending this Dentist.

I’m not one to post a lot of reviews, but I had to post a review for Dr Shane Boggs at Kildare Dental Centre. Over the holidays I had phase one of an emergency root canal done at another practice. After that traumatic experience, I googled dentists near me that specialise in nervous patient care and treatment to finish the treatment.After visiting Dr Shane yesterday, I have honestly never felt more at ease in a dental practice. Dr Shane is softly spoken, gentle, informative and incredibly reassuring. He listened to me and continued to reassure me of the situation. I’m willingly back in a few weeks to complete my treatment and begin a new journey for my teeth.As an extremely nervous dental patient who has avoided dentists for years, I couldn’t recommend Dr Shane and the team at KDC more.

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.
