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.

Our son completed his treatment this week and is delighted with the results . Dr Perry , Gabby and all the team were terrific throughout and the whole experience was excellent and stress free. Our daughter just got her braces this week and I'm confident she will have the same great results. The whole team are so professional and helpful and very accommodating when it comes to appointments and visits. I highly recommend Dr Perry and his team Karen

Dr Dana Lica was very friendly and professional. I had to get an emergency filling and it was totally painless. Despite it being the last appointment of the day, Dana and her assistant stayed on late to get my filling completed. They did not rush and even did additional treatments. I would highly recommend.

What can I say about McEvoy Dental? It is absolutely phenomenal. The waiting area is spotlessly clean, as are the doctors’ offices. Natalie at reception is extremely personable and friendly, ensuring all patients are well looked after. Dr. Jannis is highly knowledgeable and professional. I wish I could give them more stars. Well done, McEvoy Dental, you have an exceptional clinic.

I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Jannis Heinrich for his professional assistance in an emergency situation with my son. Dr. Heinrich not only provided prompt and high-quality treatment, but also showed incredible compassion and care, which greatly supported us during a difficult time. It is especially impressive how easily Dr. Heinrich connects with children. My son felt trust, and after having his tooth extracted, he walked out of the office with a smile on his face and now happily visits this dental clinic. Dr. Jannis Heinrich is a true master of his craft and a top-level professional. He treated my cavity quickly and painlessly, improved the aesthetics of my smile, and also successfully placed two crowns in just one day. He treats every patient with care and deep attention. Dr. Heinrich is a prime example of what a progressive, modern dentist should be — someone who truly loves their profession and their work! McEvoy Dental Clinic has a special atmosphere — it’s cozy, calm, and genuinely feels like home. A million thanks to the entire staff of McEvoy Dental Clinic for your warmth and the exceptionally high standards of medical service.

Just competed my orthodontic treatment plan at Pearls Maynooth and would highly recommend. From the initial consultation with Dr. Perry to majority of the treatment with the wonderful Gabby I couldn’t be happier with the results. Just over 18 months of clear braces and the finished look is way more than I expected! All of the team are so friendly and accommodating. The appointments are quick and convenient with availability before 9am and after 5pm ideal! Emma & Katie on reception always so helpful and efficient. Thank you Pearls for my new smile 😁

I had an excellent experience here at the Artane Dental Clinic from time of booking with Dino in reception to my appt. with Dr Zaid. I was talked through everything and everyone was so lovely. I would recommend highly.

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket when it can no longer be restored. At Dentistry.ie, we only recommend this when alternatives like fillings or crowns are not possible.

Tooth Extractions

When should a tooth definitely be removed?

If severe decay, infection, or damage makes repair impossible, extraction may be necessary. Even then, we always explore whether a filling or crown could save the tooth first. Families in Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, Kimmage, Balbriggan, and Artane appreciate our commitment to preservation.

What questions do people in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare ask about extractions?

Your extraction
questions answered

I’m scared of having a tooth out – should I be worried?

Extractions don’t have to be scary. It is always better to preserve a tooth, even for a few years. Think of your mouth like a game of Jenga; the more blocks that are pulled out, the more likely the whole tower will fall. That’s why, here at Dentistry.ie in Dublin, Kilkenny and Kildare, we will always do our utmost to save a tooth wherever possible.

Why do dentists try to save teeth instead of removing them?

The more back teeth that are removed, the less likely the front teeth will last properly. Only when absolutely essential will we recommend removing a tooth. We believe the function of the mouth depends on retaining as many teeth as possible, which helps keep it healthier and more functional for longer.

What happens if a tooth is removed?

When a tooth is removed, the surrounding teeth slowly move out of position. A tilted tooth is more fragile and can withstand much less pressure than an upright one. Even the stable teeth on the opposite side of the mouth can suffer as they take more strain. Over time, this means the whole mouth functions at only a fraction of its original capability.

When should a tooth definitely be removed?

Only when it is impossible for a tooth to be repaired by a crown or filling should the tooth be removed. Even with a slight chance of success, we recommend attempting to save the tooth.

What problems can wisdom teeth cause?

This can cause the gum surrounding the wisdom tooth to become infected. Prior to modern medicine, in years gone by, this could often be fatal and even these days can prove highly unpleasant. They tend to hold food against the back of the teeth in front, which can drive decay in the most vulnerable location a tooth has. In rare situations, wisdom teeth can decay like normal teeth which can cause deep-seated dental abscesses. Which cannot be resolved with a simple extraction. This occurrence would require invasive surgery by a specialist.

Why do wisdom teeth cause problems?

For the vast majority of people, wisdom teeth are unnecessary and do nothing but cause problems for the long-term health of their mouths. Very often wisdom teeth are angled against the teeth in front of them and don’t come up properly. Frequently, half the tooth is buried in the gum and the other half in the mouth.

What symptoms are common with a problematic wisdom tooth?

The symptoms of a problematic wisdom tooth include:

‍

Swollen jaw
Redness around the area
Sensitive or painful gums around the tooth

‍

If you experience any of the above symptoms, do bear in mind, these symptoms can be caused by other factors. However, you should still seek medical attention.

How long is the wisdom tooth extraction procedure?

This is very dependent on the difficulty of the procedure.

Is a wisdom tooth extraction painful?

Generally, you will be completely numb during the removal of the wisdom tooth. Most people will be sore for a few days after the extraction. This pain will vary depending on the complexity/difficulty of the extraction.

How common are problematic wisdom teeth?

It is recommended that a problematic wisdom tooth is removed between the ages of 18 – 24. After this age, it becomes much more difficult to extract because the bone becomes denser and the roots finish forming. There are even special techniques to remove wisdom teeth in the early to mid-teens before they finish forming.
