When I called to make my the appointment I was informed I couldn't see the hygienist until I saw the main Dentist as this is common practice for a new patient. I waited two weeks for an appointment which wasn't too bad. The office is located about 5 minutes from the top of Camden street and inside an old Georgian house. The reception is located on the bottom floor and I was greeted by two very friendly receptionist. Filled out a quick form and was right on time to meet with Dr. Ed. Being honest I was actually taken aback by Dr. Ed's friendliness. You can tell that his patients are very important to him and he took genuine interest in myself. He was quick and precise but at no point did I feel rushed. I definitely felt he knew what he was talking about. I was then moved along to the Hygienist who again I felt very comfortable with. I would highly recommend.

Everything was explained and all the options were given..a pre-bill so I knew how much everything would cost over the next month...4/5 visits! I was disappointed with one thing; I had a filling and it was to cost E120. I went tot the front desk to pay I was charged more, nearly E30 more. I questioned it and was told the filling was deeper than originally expected so it cost more... communication PLEASE...never knew this until I was being charged...my pre-bill quote flew out the window :(

One should pick your dentists using similar criteria to the way you pick counsel and positive…read moreword-of-mouth is a good starting point. After much procrastination, I decided to give in to both vanity and oral health and search around for a dentist. Such a search, as you likely know, is frustrating. Often, people will remark a dentist is good based on the experience at the routine exam or dental cleaning. I'd wager even a sadistic hack could perform a good dental cleaning, so such recommendations were irrelevant to me. More to the point, I didn't want to be pressured to embark on a dental tourist expedition. Being tempted with the thought of half-priced crowns, root-canals, and the like. No, I wanted to stay where my medical malpractice hammer is most effective. Phoenix Dental is a very clean and friendly establishment. The equipment appears to be quite modern. There's no dried blood on the walls or the ceiling and the staff are quite pleasant. I've visited this establishment four times in the past five weeks. While the procedure I'm embarking upon is mildly painful, it's tolerable to do two procedures per week. My first session was nice. The x-rays and examination was free. We went over a plan on what I wanted done and what was needed to be done. It was affordable and spread out throughout the year, so the economic bite does not hurt as bad. They put glasses on your face so bits of bone, chemical, and blood don't fly into your eyes, which are aimed at the ceiling where there's a flat screen television tuned in to music videos. The price of the procedures is fairly standard for Ireland. Not the cheapest, but definitely not the most dear. More importantly, the quality seems to be sound. A dentist in the west recommended the doctor here, as did a city centre surgeon who would of seen previous work from the doctors at this clinic. You can't get much better a referral than that!

From the moment I walked in the door I felt cared for and in good hands. Helen the receptionist is extremely helpful and overall Just a lovely person. Any appointments arranged were simple and often Helen would call be back to fit me in at a time even more convenient. Dr.Cahill himself was very thorough and explained the whole process in an easy and stress free way. I felt he really took his time to give me the right treatment and felt listened to. The dental nurse (whos name I did not catch) was also very lovely constantly checking I was ok and providing outstanding care. I would highly recommend anyone to use Dr.Cahill for any dental related procedures or check ups as I have never received medical care like it before. thanks to everyone at Dr.Cahill's !!

I was referred to Dr Cahill by my orthodontist for an X-ray. He fit me in at very short notice but…read moreI found his "bedside manner" to be lacking. He was rude & condescending towards me, bordering on contemptuous, when I couldn't bite down with my front teeth aligning with the bottom teeth (I have an overbite which made it impossible.) Also I didn't like that he kept touching my belly during the x-ray to get me to stand up straighter as I hadn't given him permission to touch me there and he didn't ask. I left feeling disrespected. I called the office afterwards to give feedback about it, and his receptionist said he was not available to receive it. My advice is, find a nicer dentist.

2am and I shift in my sleep, not comfortable…read more 2:30am and I'm in the kitchen, tearing the medicine box apart looking for pain killers. Instead of concentrating on the job at hand I'm trying to remember the words to that poem from my youth "oh I wish I'd looked after my teeth..." My entire head felt like a huge spot about to burst and the tip.... the white bit that does the nasty exploding bit was somewhere on the bottom left of my jaw.. women might tell you that childbirth is a painful thing but to them I say, pashaw! ...and also, ouch. So, a long overdue appointment was applied for on the smiles.ie website... I heard nothing from them after 2 hours (not being overly patient) I called and no, they hadn't received my application. I made an appointment over the phone for the next day. I suspected I had a long list of ailments so asked for them to do an exam and work up a plan (which I shall be taking to the VHI dental people!). Yup... the list was loooong, including 2 root canals, lots of fun ahead but having met the dentist and gone through the 1st exam and treatment I am happy that (wait for it.....) ...that I'll be smiling in the end crap... did I really go for the cheap pun at the end?, yes, yes I did. Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth, And spotted the dangers beneath All the toffees I chewed, And the sweet sticky food. Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth. Pam Ayres

I was taking the bus from the Waterloo Road and I saw Smiles Dental, I book an appointment for the check-up. I am trying to do check-ups every year. In Smiles Dental it was free with PPS number. The doctor said that I need to do 3 FILINGS. Ohh noooo! I made an appointment for my first one! It was the funny one :) I was waiting when I will feel pain but it was okay, and then I heard - 'It's done!' REALLY??? I couldn't believe, It was painless. Next time I will be less afraid doing my other 2 :) Just letting you know the next day I was laying down with the madest a headache and a toothache. The painkillers like 'Anadin' didn't help me, the stronger one was better.

My experience here was awesome! I went in to see Ann O'Donoghue yesterday and was very impressed…read more She has a lot of knowledge in dentistry specialising in periodontics and is up to speed with the latest technology in the field. I was getting my laser cleaning in the states and they also offer this service. From my understanding general dentists in Ireland do not offer this, so I was happy to find out she was up to speed on it. I will be going back for my cleanings and possibly orthodontics as they do it all here. The office itself was very nice and the décor was modern which made me feel like I was at a dentist back home in America. The only negative thing I will say about this place is they must have been running behind yesterday as I wasn't called back until 45 minutes after my appointment time.

I won't detail specifics of his behaviour, as no part of the interaction was positive, aside to say that I, the patient, had to pause the procedure, following the local anesthetic, with a pliers in my mouth, to ask him to clarify what he wanted me to functionally do as he barked (and no other word will do) that I "relax my tongue". He continued to bark this at me, after this. I came to the clinic in pain and in a vulnerable state; had I any other option, I would have left after the assessment, given it was clear that his manner was what it was. The dental nurse who was accompanying him was lovely, obviously embarrassed and tried to ameliorate the atmosphere he created but he also spoke to her contemptuously as she assisted. Do not go here!
