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...

For someone who is absolutely terrified of the dentist I had a great experience. Dr Anna completely put me at ease and made sure I was ok throughout the experience. The surgery itself is exceptionally clean and the reception staff member was incredibly nice and again put me at ease when I came in.
Very professional and skilled, top to bottom. Cannot recommend them more highly. Shane is so thorough and informative, and lets you know every step of the way what’s going on so there are no surprises. Very calming, as well. The staff is friendly and very professional from the moment you walk in and throughout your appointment. They don’t try to sell you services you don’t need like other dentists in town. I highly recommend for everyone and thanks to the entire team for such life changing work
Exceptional Invisalign experience! The clinic not only delivered outstanding results but also exceeded my expectations with their exceptional customer service. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and comfortable journey. Grateful for their expertise and care—highly recommend!
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!
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 :)
Professional, painless, and with a friendly atmosphere – the best dentist I’ve ever been to!
I don't usually write reviews online, but after today's consultation with Dr. Gosia, I feel compelled to share my experience and recommend this dental clinic to everyone. I scheduled an appointment because I've been wearing braces for a year, which I had gotten at a different clinic, and I had a feeling that the person handling my treatment was not doing it properly and was unnecessarily prolonging it. I received a referral to Dr. Gosia, so I booked an appointment and was warmly welcomed. The diagnosis was done very professionally, including a dental scan and x-rays. I also learned about the treatment plan, its conclusion, and the post-treatment checkup. Everything is included in the price at this clinic, and they truly pay attention to every detail to ensure that the patient is happy with their new smile. I'd like to add that Dr. Gosia was not only highly professional but also incredibly kind and friendly. Her warm and caring demeanor made the whole experience even more pleasant, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. I couldn't have asked for a better dentist to guide me through this journey to a healthier smile.
I had a fantastic experience at Sundrive Dental. I was in so much pain when I arrived, but Anne Marie, the receptionist, was warm and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Renan and Nurse Maria were amazing—professional yet personal. They assessed my situation quickly and performed the emergency procedure seamlessly, answering all my questions and putting me at ease. The clinic was spotless, and their infection control was top-notch. This team sets the bar high for dental care. Highly recommend!
I've been to many dentists in the past few years, and none of them compare to the care at Friary Court Dental which I’ve been with for the past 1.5 years. James, the implant specialist, is incredibly professional and kind, which is a huge help if you have any anxieties. He takes the time to discuss options and explain everything. During my surgery, James and the dental nurse Dara were amazing, ensuring I was comfortable and informed. The care I've received here is second to none. Everyone at Friary Court has played a major part in helping me achieve the smile I have always wanted.
A brilliant experience at Kildare Dental. All staff members were very friendly and professional.
Everything you need to know about tooth fillings in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare
What are fillings?
Fillings repair cavities caused by tooth decay. The decayed part of the tooth is gently removed, and the space is filled with composite material made from a mixture of glass and plastic. This restores strength and prevents further decay, while keeping your tooth looking natural.
Why choose white fillings?
Until recently, most fillings were made from silver amalgam. While effective, they were highly visible. White fillings are stronger than ever and offer a discreet alternative that blends in with your tooth. They are mercury-free and bond securely to your tooth for lasting protection.
How do we make fillings blend naturally?
We carefully select the shade of the composite material to match your existing teeth, layering it for the most natural look possible. The result is a filling that’s almost invisible, even up close, and restores both the health and appearance of your tooth.

How we restore your tooth step by step
White fillings are applied in layers, with each layer hardened using a special light. This technique allows the filling to bond directly to the tooth, creating a strong and natural-looking result. Unlike metal fillings, composites support the remaining tooth structure and can be shaped for a perfect fit.
Common signs that decay could be present
- Toothache - A constant or sharp pain may mean decay has reached the inner tooth.
- Sensitivity - Pain when eating or drinking hot, cold, or sweet foods can signal enamel loss.
- Visible cavities - Dark spots, holes, or chips may indicate decay that needs treatment.
- Bad breath - Persistent odour can be linked to untreated tooth decay or infection.

questions answered
Do fillings still have to be silver?
Until recently, most cavities were filled with the well-known silver filling amalgams. Nowadays, white fillings have become much more durable, making them the go-to choice for resolving cavity problems in the tooth. Fillings can now look good… and invisible.
Are white fillings better for my teeth?
Today, as before, fillings can prevent cavities from progressing. Only now they are almost invisible. They blend in well with the tooth, making them near invisible. White fillings don’t have mercury in them. While it isn’t an issue, some Dentistry.ie clients take comfort in this fact.
White fillings are usually made from a mixture of plastic and glass particles, giving them a more similar structure to a real tooth over a traditional metal filling. This means you’re replacing tooth material with a realistic alternative, leading to a generally healthier tooth.
What if I feel embarrassed about decay?
One reason that often stops people from visiting the dentist is the obvious sign of decay. People may not want their dentist to know that they aren’t flossing every day or even brushing twice a day. If this is you, fear not. It is hard to avoid decay, but now, if your teeth have cavities or are showing signs of decay, the white fillings make an ideal solution.
