As an extremely nervous patient, I found all the staff reassuring and sympathetic

5 50 Dentist Consultation

As an extremely nervous patient, I found all the staff reassuring and sympathetic. Had quite a lot of work done, all pain-free, may I add. I have recommended Shields to many since, and personally wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

Their service is always punctual, friendly, and reasonably priced

5 50 Dentist Consultation

I've been visiting Shields Dental for the last number of years for various dental procedures, mostly routine. Their service is always punctual, friendly, and reasonably priced. I find it helpful that I am given a clear picture of what treatment will be given & the likely outcome. A few weeks ago I had a toothache, phoned early that morning & was seen that afternoon, problem solved! Thank you to all at Shields.

The dentist was so professional and made me feel confident that it would be ok

5 50 Dental Bridges

I went to Shields dental as I had a cracked dental bridge I was extremely nervous that there was damage done to my teeth underneath. Cormac was so professional and made me feel confident that it would be ok. I came away with a temporary bridge and had a replacement fitted 2 weeks later. Cormac is skilled and professional and can highly recommend the practice.

All staff members are very kind and professional and I know that I am in the best hands

5 50 Dentures Repair

I just wanted to thank to Dr Chris for his excellent work on my very complicated set of teeth. I had a denture very wavy and uneven made somewhere else before and I could never use it, giving me trouble eating and chewing anything. I was very upset because if it when I finally found Shields Dental Clinic accidentally online. Dr Chris offered me to refurbish this existing but not working denture. He went up and down, sacrificed his own time to make sure that it will be perfect for me. He actually made gold from nothing and now it fits so well that I keep forgetting that it is not my own.
I am so happy I found this clinic and I would not change it for any other ones. All staff members are very kind and professional and I know that I am in the best hands. Million thanks for Dr Chris and the team. Elizabeth.

Dentist and dental nurse were excellent

1.5 50 Dentist Consultation

Dentist and dental nurse were excellent , very professional and reassuring !
Reception staff left a lot to be desired , very rude and unfriendly both on the phone and in person !! It’s a shame as the clinic is lovely and clean , just the reception staff could do with learning how to be a bit more professional . I left the clinic very irritated and upset by the encounter with the receptionist

I was overwhelmed with how professional and friendly everyone was

5 50 Dentist Consultation

I was so impressed from start to finish with shields dental practice. I started going to them in their Castletroy practice last year and from the girls on reception to the dental nurses/hygienist/ dentists including Zena and the lovely dentist who whitened my teeth (with glasses) I was overwhelmed with how professional and friendly everyone was. This year I was referred to Cormac he was absolutely superb. I needed a specific treatment for my teeth grinding as well as a crown. Not only was he extremely professional but also super caring and brought me back for 2 further check-ups to ensure all was well. Both practices in Castletroy and south circular rd are so modern with a lovely homely feel to it coffee making machine facility’s a clinic coordinator to advise of delays and fantastic adds on their tv that explains dental issues in a very clear easily understood way. Well done shields and all your staff ... SUPERB

I now have a lovely straight smile

5 50 Dental Crowns

I had crowns on my front teeth for 15 years. They were misaligned and I did not like my smile. After having dental work to stabilize my oral care, I had my crowns replaced and I now have a lovely straight smile.

The clinic has very friendly and professional staff. It is also a child-friendly environment. There is a play room and my children love going there for check ups. My husband and I, along with our 4 children now attend the clinic.

I would go there regularly

5 50 Fillings

Replace old fillings

A great experience I would go to the dentist regularly over the years. The shields dental clinic is the best by far. They are now our family dentist and would highly recommend them. In all the years going to the dentist it's probably the first time getting a proper check up.

He persevered and now due to my treatment my migraines are much improved

5 50 Root Canals, Dental Crowns

Splint, root canal, crowns all because I grind my teeth and also suffer from debilitating migraine, that along with a huge fear of dentists - due to this fear it took time for me to become comfortable with Conor. He persevered and now due to my treatment my migraines are much improved. The splint protects my teeth and finally I have teeth that I am comfortable with. I must mention Alex - Conor's nurse is very professional and friendly.

A work colleague's recommendation was the best advise I ever took. Pristine and relaxing waiting room. Very friendly and approachable team at the front desk.

4.5 50 Dentist Consultation

24/01/17.
I had an unexpected appointment today as my tooth broke. Even though my consultation was squeezed in Dr. Conor explained in detail a treatment plan for this tooth & any future problems I may encounter. All the Staff are so helpful & the waiting room is so comfortable you don't mind if you are delayed. I am going back to have a crown fitted at a very competitive price. Thanks Conor.
