Well..where to begin! After a botched cosmetic job abroad I was anxious,depressed and VERY nervous about whether Smiles could help me or not. My Smiles treatment spanned from January to August and they put me at ease every step of the way along with a payment plan in installments which was clearly laid out from the beginning. I had crown removal, temporary crown placement, gum treatment, four replacement crowns with gold posts put in,two re-root canals (by a specialist smiles referred me to) and numerous x-rays,fillings and cleanings. PAINLESS. The total cost whilst not cheap was comparatively cheap compared to other estimates I had gotten and it was a heartening experience to see them repair the damage that had been caused as I was in serious danger of losing the underlying teeth that had been worked on abroad and then we would be going into implant territory which is hugely expensive and invasive. Dr. John Lynch was my crown specialist (he is the prosthodontist in Tallaght) and he is fantastic. For any crown/veneer etc work you need I would go to him. He also did the fillings and cleanings which he was not obliged to do but he knew I was comfortable with him and did an excellent job. Good aftercare too. I cannot thank him enough,he has restored my faith in dentists! it shows that you get what you pay for and whilst going abroad works for some, it was the worst decision I have EVER made, poorly fitted crowns and half done root canals caused extensive damage, I will always have some minor gum problems from the over zealous preparation that was done abroad and am now "heavily restored". However Smiles have managed to minimize this damage and I can eat and sleep and lead a normal life and my smile looks better than ever! so I'm VERY fortunate!) , albeit a bit more wary of the sayings you get what you pay for and vanity comes at a price!! Lovely receptionists and dental assistants also. Anyhow in a nutshell I would say: DONT GO ABROAD FOR DENTAL WORK and GO TO SMILES,THEY ARE FANTASTIC! read more
