Dental Checkup Rathmines

Dr. Buckley is a really good dentist. She is extremely thorough, gentle and pays careful attention to details. She has always made time to look after any of my emergencies...Thank you!

Very good dentist, took me in straight away. Was in pain an was a patient of Smiles and they didn't care. 100 percent happy with the root canal and crown work. Thanks a million. Will be going back next time. I need any work done in my mouth.

I’m a nervous patient with gum disease. Due to Covid, it had been nearly a year since my last visit to the hygienist. I was expecting pain and discomfort and the usual lecture. Well, I was wrong.. Shauna, the hygienist, was amazing… I got pain-free but thoroughly clean and polished. The usual advice was delivered in sympathetic, non-hectoring tones. I’ll be back!

I have been attending this clinic for a very very long time, my sister's dentist couldn’t take me when I first came to Dublin and they suggested Brian. My sister's dentist was VERY expensive so I think I was lucky! From the first time I came here, I knew I was in good hands, many good hands, Brian, Lynne, Amie and now Clara. Calm and friendly, I have never had any pain or any nervousness about walking through that door, truly if you have had any bad experiences elsewhere (and I had the dreaded multi-extraction at 7 years old so I know what it’s like) please just start by talking to them, they will help you. I have had extractions (painless), fillings (no pain), root canals and crowns (only wallet pain 😂). I go several times a year now for cleaning and Lynne has promised me that she will keep me squeaky clean and fit while Brian waits patiently for one of his expert fillings to need touching up (no sign of it happening this last 10 years yet as long as I stay off the hard toffee addiction). I am so glad I started coming here all those years ago and will have many more to come (cleans that is, no more root canals hopefully)!

I began treatment in 2013 with Dr Mairtin Brennan. There were many visits and detailed examinations before the surgery began. Because of the loss of bone, I required a bone graft. Like another patient said this is a very involved process and very difficult work. It has to be so precise. I got 5 implants. They have created perfect stability and what Dr Brennan said was that one of his chief objectives was to create space in my mouth. This was done to great effect. I am not aware that the implants are there. It was worth all the measurements that had to be done. Everything has to be checked several times but it was worth it all in the end. A bone graft is heavy going but once it settled down I forgot about the process. I would highly recommend Dr Brennan and would advise anyone to pay him at least a visit. Investing in my teeth was one of the best decisions I ever made. Seven years of enjoying eating better, more confidence, and compared to what I had it was like going from a mini to a Rolls Royce.

I met with Dr Ioana today after being told by my dentist I needed 3 crowns. After examining me, Dr Ioana said in her opinion I only needed 1 crown and 1 filling. She said she would prefer to preserve my teeth and not do crowns unless necessary. As she specialises in this kind of dental work, I took on board her advice and appreciated her professionalism. She had the opportunity to make a lot more money out of me than she did. That kind of integrity is rare. The filling she did was pain-free and fast. She’s gentle in her approach which I respond to well. I’m happy I get to hold onto some teeth for a while longer. I highly recommend this dentist. Not only is she competent, but she is also trustworthy and a good person. You’ll be in safe hands.
