Fantastic experience: Such a good experience. Thanks Cathal Heavey and the team!

Fantastic experience: Very good and attentive service, treatments were clear and well explained with helpful advice.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Dr Cathal Heavey for years now. The nicest and most professional dentist I ever met.
Fantastic experience: I found Cathal by chance years ago. I got so lucky! I've been going to him ever since, I am now brining my kids and I just know we are all in excellent hands.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, friendly and non-alarming and great care - for a pre-travel emergency. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your kind words Gemma - we really appreciate it and look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards Fiona
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cathal Heavey is an exceptional dentist — thoughtful, caring, and highly professional. Our whole family goes to him: myself, my kids, and my husband, who can be quite a nervous patient. Cathal’s calm, reassuring manner always puts us at ease, and he takes real care to make sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Cathal is incredibly thorough and clearly passionate about what he does. He creates a very welcoming and supportive environment, which makes such a difference, especially if you’re someone who finds dental visits a bit daunting. Couldn’t recommend him and Sandycove Dentalcare more highly.
Hi Jilly Many thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice review - I have passed it on to Cathal. We greatly appreciate you taking the time and look forward to seeing you and the family again in the future. Kind regards Fiona
Fantastic experience: Have been attending Sandycove Dental Care for more than 10 years now. Had an absolute fear of dentists beforehand and they were really patient and understanding of me when I came to them first a decade ago. I regularly attend dental hygienist Marie Claire and am now patient of Dr Cathal Heavy, along with my four year old son. Can’t recommend them highly enough- as both a patient and parent - for care and attention over the years.
Hi Jane We really appreciate your kind words and thank you for taking the time to leave this review. Both Mary Clare and Cathal are delighted that you have had a good experience with us over the years and we all look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards Fiona

Hi Ben We're delighted that you've had such a good experience with Cathal and we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review for us. We look forward to seeing you again in the future - keep smiling! Regards Fiona
Fantastic experience: As a ‘lapsed’ dental patient, due to family issues and fear of the ‘chair’ dentist Cathal was wonderful. He reassured me, put me at ease and I had treatment completed before I knew it. I would highly recommend Cathal Heavey for his professionalism and kindness. I was delighted with my new clean, sparkly teeth and am actually looking forward to my next appointment !! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Cathal, Sarah & the team are excellent! Highly skilled, trustworthy, and great at explaining treatments.

Fantastic experience: As a nervous patient I used sleep badly the night before my check-up, then I had to laugh at myself afterwards, as there was no need to be nervous at all: Dr. Heavey always puts me at ease, explains every step of the treatment and makes the process so comfortable and painless. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cathal is brilliant. He was very patient and kind explaining things to me and answering my gazillion questions. Highly recommend. Just had a tooth extraction, it was my first one so not sure how it is meant to be but everything went very smoothly and I didn't feel a thing.

Hi Nick Thanks for taking the time to post your review, it's very much appreciated - we're delighted you had a good experience and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Have a lovely Christmas from us all in Sandycove. Best wishes Fiona
Fantastic experience: Having procrastinated for WAY too long about going to the dentist (I knew I should go, but avoided it/put it on the long finger), a sensitive tooth pushed me to finally make an appointment and I'm so glad I did. I saw Cathal yesterday, along with the lovely nurse Jade, and they both couldn't have been nicer. Cathal has great reviews on here already, and they are all well deserved. Everything was explained to me, it was all incredibly thorough, and before I left I had already made my next appointment for 9 months time. From start to finish the whole team were so lovely and I couldn't speak highly enough of everyone in Sandycove Dental Care, or recommend them more
Hi Laura Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review for Cathal and Jade - and the rest of the team too! We really do appreciate it and are delighted you had such a good experience at your first visit. We look forward to seeing you again and in the meantime, we wish you a very happy Christmas. Kind regards Fiona
Fantastic experience: I'm 62 years old and I've had alot of dental work done over the years by different dentists. I have to say that Cathal Heavy is the best I've come across on every aspect of his profession, particularly gentle hands. Even though it takes me over an hour to get to his clinic, passing numerous other dental clinics on the way, it's worth it. He's a young man and I recommend becoming his patient before his patient list becomes full.
Dear Ger Thank you for taking the time to post such a nice review - it is very much appreciated by Cathal and all the team here in Sandycove. We hope you have a very happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards Fiona
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from Garry and team once again with an emergency appointment at 24 hours notice. I'll pass on posting any photos though!
Hi Mark We're delighted we were able to get you sorted - and many thanks for taking the time to post a review for Garry. We hope to see you again and in the meantime have a lovely Christmas Best wishes Fiona
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cathal is one of the best dentists I’ve ever encountered. He has been my dentist since 2018. He is very caring and explains the entire process and suggestion in detail, including any risks, so that you are fully aware the situation. He is also willing to share his knowledge and best practices regarding dental care in general. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cathal Heavey at Sandycove Dental Clinic is by far the best dentist I have visited! Finding a good dentist after moving to Ireland was a challenge until a friend recommended him. Dr. Cathal is exceptionally professional, kind, and a pleasure to be around. His assistant, Niamh, is also incredibly helpful and attentive. Visiting Sandycove Dental Clinic and receiving treatment from Dr. Cathal feels more like a spa experience than a typical dental visit. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking top-notch dental care.

Hi Hugh Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review - it is very much appreciated. Fiona Heavey
Fantastic experience: Cathal is a great dentist, he makes you feel very comfortable in his chair and explains everything as he goes, he isnt the type of dentist to just pick up the drill and do unnecessary work he will monitor and if really needed will do work needed which is a breath of fresh air so many dentist pick up the drill to give a filling which may not be needed yet. Would highly recommend Cathal to all, his team is great and extremely professional as well making the whole experience A1!
Hi Alex Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review - we very much appreciate it and are delighted you had a good experience during your visit with Cathal. Fiona Heavey
Fantastic experience: Professional, knowledgeable friendly, and reliable. A great practice.
Hi Donal, many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a nice review - it is greatly appreciated. Fiona Heavey
Fantastic experience: So one of my fillings fell out and in the process broke another part of my tooth leaving a sharp edge. I managed to get an appointment at short notice with Dr Cathal Heavey. I’m a nervous patient .. I hate the drill! I let Cathal know this at the start and he chose a different drilling technique to minimise the amount of time causing the vibrations I dislike so much. His injection technique meant I barely felt it at all … no really I only knew he was giving the injection as I could feel my gum starting to go numb. At the end of the visit I remember complimenting him (& the nurses) saying that it has been an almost enjoyable experience. That was definitely a first for me for a dentist visit!
Hi Matt Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback - it's always good to know how we are doing. We are delighted you had a pleasant experience and hopefully you'll be a little less nervous next time! Regards Fiona
Fantastic experience: Dr Cathal Heavey is Amazing. Fantastic dentist & fantastic person to deal with. I cant recommend him highly enough - 10 stars
Fantastic experience: Outstanding service. Dr Heavey is a fantastic dentist and lovely person. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Have been going to Dr Heavey for years. He's an amazing dentist - extremely professional and knowledgeable with a wonderful bedside manner.
Fantastic experience: Everything he’s done has lasted. Works quickly and makes a plan of action, then talks all the way through it giving the patient (me) heads up of whats going on. The man knows what he’s doing
Fantastic experience: Dentist Sean Malone replaced a grey crown in the front of my mouth that had been bothering me for some time. I was unsure of whether it could be improved but after a consultation with Dr Malone I decided to go for it. He did a fantastic job I am blown away by the result, its drastic improvement. Thank you so much to all at Sandycove Dental five star service !
Fantastic experience: Very friendly, spotless and felt really comfortable here .
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this dental clinic write regularly (at least once a year) for both myself and my children over the last 10 years, and always been very satisfied with my visit. The dentists are really careful and excision all the treatments very clearly, even explaining whether they are really necessary or not giving you the latter choice. They're not like the sell sell sell other dentist clinics I've seen around.
Fantastic experience: Nice place good service
Fantastic experience: Extremely trustworthy experience. I had a large filling that covered the majority of one of my molars replaced after 25 years. I was talked through the procedure and felt in extremely safe and competent hands throughout. A remarkable piece of bioengineering. Wholeheartedly endorse. I've since been back for some cosmetic work and again, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Malone and team. My smile hasn't quite been right for decades, so I had a veneer fitted on a front top right tooth and composite work done on others. The result is a transformation. I actually think that I feel more confident socially and at work meetings now, too.
Fantastic experience: Staff are lovely
