I had severe tooth pain and needed an examination. The staff are amazing, so friendly and extremely helpful. They managed to book me a root canal treatment that very day. I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone!
This is my second appointment with Dr Anne Marie, she is so calm, gentle and professional. Also for the first time ever I am so looking forward for my dentist appointment and is almost the same feeling like I am in the right hairdresser 😆 I know is strange to say this but is truth Thank you Dr Anne Marie
Very professional, caring and kind. Great job fixing my teeth, highly recommend 👌
I love the guys and girls in Pearls. Extremely professional, informative and friendly. They provided a wonderful service for my orthodontics and I’m delighted with the results.
As I am totally terrified of the dentist , I cannot praise the level of care, respect and professional treatment I received for my tooth Extraction, today Oct 21st, from Emma at Reception , to Sammy my Dentist and his dental nurse thank you so much for taking the fear of dentist away. Would highly recommend Pearls Maynooth to anyone needing Dental treatment.
Haven't been to the dentist in a few years & felt a bit apprehensive. From the moment I walked into the clinic everyone was so friendly. Dr Darren Hill was so welcoming & put me at ease. He was very thorough & explained everything. Would highly recommend, thank you 😊
I had a fantastic experience at Sundrive Dental. I was in so much pain when I arrived, but Anne Marie, the receptionist, was warm and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Renan and Nurse Maria were amazing—professional yet personal. They assessed my situation quickly and performed the emergency procedure seamlessly, answering all my questions and putting me at ease. The clinic was spotless, and their infection control was top-notch. This team sets the bar high for dental care. Highly recommend!
There are only good points with this surgery. They open on a Saturday, they gave me the best filling I've ever had - no jagged bits, no sensitivity, fits my bite perfectly and they did it so fast, The receptionist is great with people and professional. For immunocompromised people they are great again. They were happy to wear the aura respirators I bought in, donned them properly, I asked if I could bring in an air filter and they're happy with that too. They understood me wanting the 1st appointment on a quiet day and even have given me a long appointment to do the rest of the work I need so I can minimise appointments. Absolutely stellar. If you or a loved one need to be careful I thoroughly recommend them.
I’ve been receiving dental treatment from KDC for several months now and I cannot recommend their clinic enough. Every visit I am met with warm welcomes and smiles by all the staff and always made feel safe through out my treatments. The customer support I received post procedure has been outstanding also. Highly recommended!
I was nervous for long time about needing to visit a dentist for a check up and some fillings. From my first call , the professionals at Sundrive Dental were amazing . Very friendly receptionists, great dentist that did perfect work. The aftercare is outstanding. Thank you so much.
