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!

He jsut asked me if alians are controlling my mind, if the TV is talking to me and if I have thoughts of killing people, then he increased my anitdpresants and sent me on my way. Thats not what I went there for. Waste my time and cost me a day off work for nothing

No communication around delays or what to expect. Nurse couldn't find a vein in 3 places. I'm black and blue. When she did find one she lost it and then explained she didn't know if she had finally found one. The surgeon would know when they tried to sedate me. 5 hours after arriving I got to theatre. No apologies nothing and a mouth piece put in. I'm fasting no food or water and sedative is administered. Felt nothing and tried to let the surgeon know but the nurse pushed my head down told me not to move or try speaking.... In recovery and removed everything myself bar the cannula. No one came near me. They almost forgot to take bloods again before I left. Private hospital????

Dr. Mc Keown has been my dentist for approximately 10 years. He fully explains the procedures…read moreeither before or during and is open and honest about what he requires to do. The secretarial and nursing staff have always been pleasant and helpful. I have used alternative dentists within this surgery on 2 occasions and found them good also, but Dr. Mc Keown has a tendency to make me feel quite comfortable and relaxed. (He is very good with the anesthetic needle - I've never felt much pain getting a filling at all!) Mc Keown is known for being particularly good with nervous and unsure patients. I can see why, given his nature to explain procedures and gentle hand.

Tony McKeon is a very good dentist and a gent. I had a really bad experience (at a different dental…read morepractice) many years ago which caused me to have a terrible fear of dentists. I attended here when I had an issue with my wisdom tooth and have been going here ever since. He was very understanding of the fact I was very nervous, he takes his time and explains things in detail and if you feel uncomfortable at any point he stops. The dental nurses and secretary are so friendly and make you feel really at ease. My fear of the dentist is now gone!

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!
