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.

This Dentist practise is by far the best I've been too, I've enjoyed coming here several years…read morenow. Dr. Tom Munroe is an amazing Denitst and so professional, I just had three root canals and crowns done and they look and feel brilliant, but more so he is such a nice person who gave me plenty of options and was detail in how he would solve my issues, and Laura who is his Dental assistant is amazing and so good and explains everything in detail. I would highly recommend Finglas Dental practice to anyone looking for a new Dentist or change of Dentist. I would recommend asking to see Dr. Tom Munroe and Laura as they have been by far the best I have been to since attending finglas dental practice. I would 100% recommend them to anyone.

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!

All of the work I had done at Primacare had to be redone. Additionally, the complaint procedure was basically non-existent and all of my letters were ignored.

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.

Prices are reasonable, and they have a refer-a-friend incentive also.

Definitely recommended if you are looking for a new dentist! I'll certainly be back. #DublinShopsLocal

Look, it's never gonna be a nice experience, but these guys certainly like it as pleasurable as possible. Some things I noted: - The reception area is lovely and airy, with piles upon piles of great magazines, and, most deadly of all, National Geographics that could keep you occupied for hours - All staff have a really lovely manner about them - very friendly, smiley, and above all, honest. I always got the feeling that they were taking me through the best course of action, and that they most certainly weren't out to (pun intended) extract the most amount of money out of me - The price of treatments seems to be pretty good value as well All in all, a really nice practice with a homely vibe, but most importantly, coupled with a professional manner. Win win!
