DENTISTRY, IMPLANTS AND ORTHODONTICS

Dental Radiography and 3D Imaging

We provide advanced dental imaging including lateral cephalometric X-rays, panoramic X-rays (OPG), CBCT 3D scans and digital optical scanning to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Lateral cephalometric X-rays are used mainly in orthodontics to analyse the relationship between the upper and lower jaw and help plan treatment. Panoramic X-rays (OPG) provide a full view of the teeth, jaws and sinuses and are used to detect dental problems, impacted teeth, gum and bone issues and jaw joint (TMJ) conditions.

CBCT scanning provides detailed 3D images of teeth, bone and nerves and is commonly used for dental implants, orthodontics, impacted teeth and surgical planning. We also offer digital optical scanning for study models and digital treatment planning.

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.
