Myself and my partner got composite bonding done with Dr Hazem. I have to say his work is outstanding. Also, the girls at the reception Tracy and Lorraine are very helpful and very professional. We definitely have found a top-class dental practice . We are both delighted with our new smile.

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.

An amazing emergency dental response - We had an amazing experience with McEvoy Dental Clinic - our son lost his front tooth due to an accident and within 1 hour we had our son in the clinic and his tooth put back in - Dr Jannis Heinrich and his team were amazing!

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.

I’ve been seeing Dr.Oana Ursache for a while now, and honestly, she’s the kindest and most patient dentist I’ve ever met. From my very first visit, she made me feel completely at ease—which is saying a lot, considering I used to get pretty anxious about dental appointments 😅 She explains everything clearly, works gently, and genuinely cares—not just about the end result, but about how you feel throughout the whole process. The clinic is clean, calm, and welcoming, and everyone on her team is just as lovely and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend her, especially if you’re looking for a dentist who combines real expertise with warmth and empathy. I actually look forward to my appointments now!

I was in pain with a lower wisdom tooth for nearly a year. It was sitting on the nerve in 2 places so it was a risky procedure. That being said the Doctor sent me for a CT scan to get a full picture on my tooth and nerves. She was happy in the end to take the tooth out. Talk about a quick job. In and out in 20 mins. No more pain and I didn't even feel a thing during the procedure. Cannot recommend this Dentist enough. The staff and nurses are all super friendly and trust me that you will have no worries going to this Dentist :-)

Dr. Naomi Rahman and her team are great. She's the best dentist I've come across in Ireland with a professional and caring approach and great communication skills. She was patient to listen to any queries clarify the entire process and next steps. She certainly had the skills to perform a small surgery exceeding my expectations! I was really worried about the surgery prior to my first appointment, but it went smoothly and painless. I'm really happy with the outcome and I recommend her to anyone. Thank you Dr. Naomi.

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

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.
