Fantastic experience: Was nervous going to dentist but dentist, nurse , and receptionist could not of been nicer x
Fantastic experience: Such professionalism and friendliness...I couldn't speak highly enough of EVERYBODY In the Fingerpost Clinic
Fantastic experience: Excellent Dental Practice with an amazing team. Always a very professional, kind & pleasant experience. Thank you to all.
Fantastic experience: Professional and resourceful place. If there's a solution, they will find it. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional
Negative experience: The last two treatments have gone horribly wrong and might cause serious health damage. Even after an email to reception asking for urgent help, I have been left in pain with open gum after tooth extraction, not to mention that at the beginning I went there only for the filling. This can lead to serious health hazards! I cannot believe that Dr.Long can make such an error twice I am very disappointed. Situations like this shouldn't have a place. This wound affects the other healthy teeth and causes unbelievable pain. Without strong painkillers I cannot do my daily tasks. Staying on them is not an option either, as this can lead to damage to the kidneys and intestinal microbiota.
Fantastic experience: I was dreading my dental visit and couldn't have been made to feel more relaxed and was treated with the utmost respect. I would definitely recommend the Fingerpost Dentists
Fantastic experience: Good morning, sorry to bother you, how much does it cost me to get a tooth pulled quickly? I can't stand it any longer and I need to get it pulled. I can't stand the pain any longer.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing and very friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly service
Fantastic experience: Kind, friendly nd felt very comfortable as I usually would be quiet anxious nd nervous. Thanks girl's
Fantastic experience: The staff are all very friendly and professional. I've had 5 fillings done to date with very little discomfort and no pain at all. Would highly recommend Fingerpost Dental.
Fantastic experience: It's nearly a year that I and my family are going to the Fingerpost Dental. I would like to strongly recommend them. Not only we are 100% happy, we are extremely grateful specially to the team who looks after us: Dr Meabh Long and Ms Norah Hillgrove, and Ms Gemma Sexton (dental hygienist). They have perfect expertise and state of the art facilities, and fantastic, kind, professional and friendly staff. We receive reminders 1-2 days before each appointment. They also follow up after treatments to make sure everything is ok with us and if we need any help. A nightmare we had was when our 5-year old daughter needed a couple of treatments, but Dr Long, Norah and the staff at the reception have been so kind explaining everything to her that the potentially very stressful appointments turned into fun for our daughter... she even often asks us when we would take her to her dentist. Meabh, Norah, Gemma, and all the other staff, we're very thankful to you all. We feel very lucky that my colleague at work recommended you to us, and we got this chance to be your patients. We could not recommend you more.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service.
Fantastic experience: Really professional members of staff. Very friendly atmosphere . Had cleaning by hygienist Gemma and then a filling by Dr Meabh , made me feel so comfortable, no pain . The receptionist was so helpful and really friendly.
Fantastic experience: Good service nice people
Fantastic experience: A great dental surgery. Couldn't ask for nicer staff. Would strongly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Nice staff, great service, glad I found the place.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had many visits over the years, teeth pulled, fillings, emergencies, gum hygiene. Roberta and co are always flexible when needed, quick to help and offer advice. I have a lot of confidence in Bernard the dentist and Aoife the hygienist. My teeth are in good hands. Nice environment in the surgery overall too.
Fantastic experience: Very professional, warm and caring. I feel very safe in their good care.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Fingerpost Dental. I was in trouble with a tooth last year they were able to fit me when no one else could. I find the dentist and her assistant to be so professional and kind during all procedures. The atmosphere is lovely, throughout the building, the place is so clean and bright. I feel truly cared for everytime I visit. They also offer a flexible schedule of hours for people who are working.
Fantastic experience: The best dental practice I have ever been to! The staff were so friendly and helpful. They took the time to properly explain me the whole process and I felt really well taken care of. I won’t go anywhere else, couldn’t recommend it more!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly welcome by the receptionist, hygienist well mannered, very professional and made me feel at ease the entire time, we most definitely recommend fingerpost to family and friends
Fantastic experience: Good service and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff and Dr Murphy was very thorough and precise with examination and future treatment required
Fantastic experience: Today I had a filling with Dr Meave, the procedure was so comfortable from the injection to the filling. I am terrified of the dentist and injections and it was by far the most comfortable I have ever been getting a filling. Lovely reception staff and dental nurses.
Negative experience: Dentist is ok for very basic treatments but very expensive. Receptionist was argumentative and refused a very vulnerable patient an emergency appointment. That patient ended up in the ER. Heartbreaking to think of how long they were in pain. Do yourself a favour and go to any other dentist!
Fantastic experience: Needed an emergency app, got one ASAP. Turned out I needed a root canal at 8.5 months pregnant. The dentist and dental nurse were so lovely and reassuring and kept me up to date every step of the way! No pain at all and now the numbness has worn off. I'm back to 0 pain and so so thankful!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Fingerpost Dental. All staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. All services are carried out to an excellent standard. I have just completed Invisalign treatment and found Fingerpost Dental wonderful throughout each step!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here. I saw Dr.Meabh Long and she was brilliant and very through. The practise was spotless and very modern. I felt at ease the whole time and delighted with my teeth now
Fantastic experience: Fingerpost dental is by far and away the most impressive and professional dental practice I've ever been to. I've had a mouthguard made to perfection by Dr. Murphy to counteract teeth grinding and I've had the highest quality of teeth cleans by their outstanding hygienist Michelle whose attention to detail is second to none. Also, Fingerpost Dental is very accommodating in its busy schedule. I would highly recommend Fingerpost Dental if you're seeking a different level in dental care.
Fantastic experience: Well run dental practice
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr Murphy for the past few months for Invisalign treatment, I find Dr Murphy to be highly professional, and she provides an excellent client-centred service. All the staff at Fingerpost Dental couldn’t be more welcoming and kind, and the practice itself is spotlessly clean. Couldn’t recommend this dentistry practice more.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service! There were no problems straightening my teeth with Invisalign and much care went into getting the perfect end goal. I love my new smile. the new shape of my teeth and even how whiter my teeth appear. My teeth have never looked better!
Fantastic experience: This was my first time with Bernard as my dentist and he was an absolute professional, gentle-man and i felt in very sage hands despite my always being a little dentist anxious. I had cracked a tooth at the weekend and after some xrays it was deemed too bad to save- I have not had an extraction in years and didn't have pleasant memories however Bernard and his team made it all very easy. I adore this surgery and even though I've moved from the area I have no desire to change it for the sake of convenience. Ery covid safe also. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your great review Catriona. We really appreciate a good review as all our staff work very hard to do our best for our patients. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Lovely experience! Very clean practice and staff were welcoming, really nice people.
Thanks so much for your great review Lucy. Much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Thanks so much to Bernard,Roberta and all at Fingerpost Dental,I cannot recommend you enough i am so happy with my recent treatment for crowns,. Beautiful surgery very modern very professional service.Thanks again Bernard . Mary Dennehy
Thank you so much Mary for your great review.
Negative experience: Made appointment to get a crown fixed, there was a lot of UP SELLING,.. the dentist Bernard Murphy was very hostile to the staff and made me feel very uncomfortable, couldn't wait to get out of there, and was very expensive. That is for the 2 girls. The worst experience in a dentist ever.
Positive experience: I went to this dentist back in February, and I got the feeling there were some “selling” type approaches being used (such as being asked for a % of payment for your next appointment upfront, and being told I needed treatment that another dentist today confirmed I did not). I found the overall atmosphere to be a little off, and even though the female dentist I dealt with was lovely and very competent, I didn’t get the same feeling from the other dentist who treated me.
Because of regulations surrounding patient confidentiality, we are not in a position to ever comment on the details of any patient's treatment needs or attendance with us, in public. However, we are confident that we can address all of the concerns the reviewer has raised, should she wish to make direct contact with us. For general information, it is our practice policy to charge booking deposits when patients book significant time slots for dental care in advance. These deposits help to reduce the numbers of broken appointments and short notice cancellations and, as a consequence, help to reduce the cost of treatment for all patients.
Fantastic experience: Amazing dentist! Dr. Okeeffe is super friendly and professional in her job
