Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is used to treat infection inside a tooth and to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. Infection can be caused by deep decay, cracks, trauma or repeated dental treatment. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and then seals the tooth to prevent further infection.

Modern root canal treatment is a safe and effective procedure that is usually no more uncomfortable than having a filling. Saving your natural tooth helps maintain proper chewing, prevents neighbouring teeth from moving and avoids the need for extraction and tooth replacement.

At Blue Poppy Dental, we use modern techniques and digital imaging to ensure root canal treatment is precise, comfortable and successful.

Not Great service the Dentist kept talking down the work he had to do  by saying it might not work it may not be successful  , I don't know how long this will last etc etc  Yet his negativity and uncertainty was not  reflecting in the Price i was charged  almost €400.. It was as if he was looking for a get out of jail free card if his work wasn't good enough

I have had my teeth x-ray and checked I've also had a deep clean what a result afterwards and two fillings. I really hate the drilling but she is very gentle and professional. Thank you

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Not recommended for composite bonding.

Had replacement of composite bonding done on 3 teeth and bonding on a 4th in this dentist and the finish was very poor by the dentist. Left with a ledge on one of the bonded teeth and unable to floss between two others as the bonding was done too tight. The dentist seemed quite rushed in finishing the composite bonding appointment.

Having previously had composite bonding done well, I do not recommend this dentists for composite bonding unless you’re prepared to return for fixes of poorly completed work. I had raised issues at the end of the appointment but dentist was dismissive. I didn’t have the opportunity to return to have it fixed due to travel and having to attend another dental practice to correct the work done in this dental practice.

1 stars for a nice place and friendly front desk staff, -4 stars for very poor amateur finish and expected better based on pricing which is standard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place has to be the best experience I've had at a dentist since I came home from the States, or ever in Ireland. They are so very friendly, not too long a wait to get an appointment and you get seen almost immediately on time. Brilliant.
