Gentle, honest, professional and affordable! They price fillings according to size unlike the standard €120 in Dublin. The most I've paid for a filling is £45! Huge savings. My mum has had a bridge put in and my sister has had the 6 month braces and teeth whitened. They are both thrilled with the results! These guys are always booked up so advance appointments is required. It's only an hour drive from Dublin... What's not else to like :-)

I have been with these dentists for years - and they are fantastic! (well my dentist Miss Watson…read moreis!) lol Mr McClintock is a little more scary lol (childhood experience). There isn't always a long waiting list to see the dentist although there sometimes can be - but if the problem is serious they try to see you as soon as possible! I have never had any problems with any of the treatments i have had there and always been happy :) Parking is an issue as there isn't any but you could use an alternative and walk back to the dentist. also there is quite a lot of stairs to get up to the place as its on the first floor but otherwise Fantastic! Very professional!

But wait for it - A filling fell out, although not in pain I called them to get it fixed, a quick 5 min check confirmed a filling and xray were needed, new apt rescheduled to do the filling. 3 days later a bill arrived for £120?! When I called to get an explanation I was told to see the dentist at the apt to discuss. HMM it transpired £40 was for the initial emergency apt - £40 as I'd not been in a year and £40 for a clean - so the £120 was before they filled the tooth - that would be another £100!! £220 for a small filling!! This was when miss McCann became rude and hostile whilst I was in the dentist chair. I explained - 1, I didnt request an emergency apt, 2 my teeth weren't cleaned and 3 I wasn't told it was £40 for not attending for a year. she told me I would have been given a quote and breakdown of charges by the receptionist at my 1st apt - when I replied I absolutely hadnt received this she got angry and said she wouldn't tolerate my calling her staff liars - to which I replied then so in that case you are calling me a liar!! Totally hostile at being caught out trying to rip me off with fake charges. At no point did I lose my temper but I can't say the same for Miss McCann!! Funnily enough I didnt let her at me with a drill - I walkjed out advising my familty would not be returning to her practice. Never experienced customer service like it before or since!! Avoid - expensive, rude and unprofessional

The practice is in a modern, custom build building with a fair sized car park outside. The reception is just to the right as you walk in the door and is staffed by a friendly team. They have a downstairs reception area with comfortable seating and magazines, and an upstairs member's area with seating, magazines, tea, coffee, water biscuits and TV. Today was my first appointment and I'm admittedly not a fan of the dentist, but they put me at ease immediately and my appointment went smoothly and the dentist was very friendly and informative. Definitely recommend this practice!

I felt it is important to inform others of my experience here. A part of my tooth had sheared off,…read moreleaving my tooth thinner than normal and I booked an emergency appointment to have some filler put in to thicken the tooth. The dentist called John-Joe Hartigan was appointed to manage my situation. I told him that the sole reason for me coming to the dentist was to get my emergency tooth repair fixed. The first appointment I had xrays done and I was informed four times by reception that I will have my emergency tooth repair fixed on the next appointment. John also told me once that I will be getting my tooth repaired on the next appointment. Shortly after, I received an email detailing a dental plan for other work that could be done aswell. The plan had me down for getting a general teeth clean on the second appointment and the entire dental plan did not list my emergency to be dealt with at all. I phoned reception and she said that John had accidentally left out the tooth repair and that I will be getting it fixed on the second appointment as I was told before. Later, I arrived for my second appointment and John told me that I was getting a general dental teeth clean today. I questioned him as to why my emergency tooth repair was not getting fixed and he said we can do that another time. John knew that I was only there to get my emergency tooth repair completed and it seems that he wanted to get as much money out of me as possible before he considered fixing my emergency. I would strongly advise others to avoid getting dental work done with John-Joe Hartigan.

And this happened on a Saturday holiday weekend. I searched the Internet and began calling dentists in the city, and after the fifth call someone at gentle dental actually answered the phone: by Tuesday morning my tooth was fully repaired. The receptionist, office manager, and dentist were all extremely accommodating. The initial setup as a new patient was very thorough, but without being impersonal and curt. I felt like I got to know the staff a little bit, they got to know me, and when I thought it might be a little over personal, I was in the dentist chair and it was strictly business: full exam, good discussion about my options, and although I thought the best thing to do was to spend the extra money and get a full replacement, they recommended otherwise (excellent advice in hindsight). Thank you for such great service, I'll be a permanent customer from now on.

Money has to be paid up front even though you're not quite sure what work you're having done. However, this does distract you from the fear of dentists as you're too busy thinking about the cost to worry about the drill. They do offer interest free credit and a scheme to pay for checkups and cleaning up front but most people use them on a pay-as-you-go basis.
