Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk in, you’re treated with real care and professionalism. The whole team, reception, nurses, and support staff, make you feel at ease straight away. John himself is an outstanding dentist. Skilled, calm, and genuinely kind, he takes the time to explain everything and makes sure you’re comfortable throughout. I trust him completely. You’re not just treated here, you’re looked after. I couldn’t recommend them more.

Fantastic experience: I went to Sullivan Dental in pain and met Valentina and her nurse Charlotte. They were brilliant as I am a very nervous patient. They were so kind. Had an extraction and would highly recommend them. The girls on reception were brilliant too fitting me in on the day I rang. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the future.
Hi Betty , Thank you so much for your kind words
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist, John and the team have always been supportive and understand about anxiety around the dentist for myself and my parents, we’ve all had traumatic experiences in dentists before and John and his team have helped us over that fear, I would highly recommend John and team for anything dentist related!

Negative experience: My partner was on a call to receptionist asking for a appointment for me because my tooth is in half They said they can't see me four 6 weeks They have my ex Ray and know I need my tooth out my partner asked the receptionist couldn't she have the dentist look at the ex Ray and send a letter to the dental hospital so I could be seen quickly The receptionist then started to be extremely rude out of know ware and said I know what I'm talking about I'm working here 25 years and hung up the phone This is disgusting Thankfully I always record my phonecalls with dentist's and doctors surgery
Hi Dec, Thank you for your feedback .I am sorry we cannot facilitate you at present as we are exceptionally busy treating so many wonderful patients here in Carlow .We have already treated you once as an emergency patient and perhaps you should reflect on why your own dentist wont see you anymore rather than bombarding our practice with endless calls and messages etc.Thanks Sullivan Dental

Have no worries you're in good hands there.

Fantastic experience: The best and friendliest team! I always feel welcome and at ease with John and i have my uttermost trust in him.
Thank you so so much for you kind review, its much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: I had terrible pain in my wisdom tooth that needed immediate attention and removing. I found John Sullivan and his lovely team online. I had a huge fear of the dentist due to a past experience but from the moment I set foot inside I was immediately put at ease. John and his team were so nice and i couldn’t get over the difference. I hardly felt a thing and all the information about aftercare really was so helpful and worked. I just remember beautiful classical music and not having to leave the room for the numbing to set in as there was a comfortable sofa to wait on and a lovely big window to look out at the view. I’ve definitely gotten over my fear of the dentist thanks to John and his whole team and I would strongly recommend them. Many thanks from a happy customer
Thanks so much Anne-Louise for your review! Much appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: The best dentist I have ever went to. Today was the first day I went to John for a check up, he was honest and showed me everything wrong with my teeth. I also got a cancellation that day for a clean so I did and I couldn’t be happier. I have a plan to make my teeth better and I came away from the dentist not stressed! Charlotte, Aoife and John couldn’t have been more helpful and I couldn’t recommend this place more!!
Thanks so much for your review Maeve, we are so glad you had a good experience with us here at Sullivan Dental!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service as always john has been my Denist for over 10 years highly recommend sullivan Denists
Thanks so much for your review Geraldine!!! Much appreciated !:)
Fantastic experience: Wonderful dentist,couldn’t fault at all! Very pleased!☺️
Thanks for the review Charlotte.Much appreciated!!!!:)
Negative experience: I needed a filling and the dentist himself said he is unable to do fillings. I know the issue with my tooth. I've even sent in my own xrays. I know the shape of the filling required and yet... This dentist cannot do fillings. Avoid with your life
Hi Paul, As mentioned previously i have reviewed the clinical notes and the radio graphs taken by the dentist.I agree with his diagnosis.What you were advising the dentist to do would've been unwise.It would be like asking a builder to build a house on a bog and then saying they were a bad builder when the house collapses.I am sorry you're disappointed with the professional opinion you sought however it is never acceptable to become aggressive and shout expletives at young ladies who are working hard to help people.You are welcome to get your radio graphs for a second or third opinion. Kind Regards, Sullivan Dental.
Negative experience: My significant other had a tooth extraction and is in excruciating pain!!! 1 WEEK after the procedure when he was told there would be none!!! Clinic more like a butcher.
Hi Nathan, we are disappointed to hear that your partner was unhappy with their experience. Usually after an extraction it is normal to have some pain which is usually manageable with pain relief, which should have been advised. Did your partner contact us? As we would be happy to talk through any queries or concerns that they may have regarding post operative care. We hope you have the correct clinic when contacting us as we can’t seem to find your partner in our system. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we await your response, Thanks Sullivan Dental
Fantastic experience: I need to let people know who have a fear of the dentist and every aspect of it, I could not even make it to sit in the dentist's chair, which resulted in my teeth being left unattended for many years. until recently I had to succumb to horrendous wisdom tooth pain, I attended John's practice who has been my dentist for many years, and John informed me he was able to provide sedation and treat the matter. To make a long story short for those out there who have this horrible fear, don't suffer anymore, I did not feel ANYTHING ! and remember nothing. Look forward to going back to John and the girls to have more work done on my teeth, no more sleepless nights, Myra.
Thanks so much Myra for your review , we will see you soon!! :)
Fantastic experience: Attended John Sullivan and his fantastic team recently for difficult dental surgery. The whole procedure was completely painless in every respect. The care and after care from John and the Staff was exceptional and much appreciated. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending John and his team. Thanks to everyone for your care and attention.
Thanks so much for your review Louise, we are so glad you had a good experience with us here at Sullivan Dental.
Fantastic experience: I am an incredibly nervous dental patient and I was wracked with anxiety when I heard I needed two fillings but Sullivan Dental made me feel at ease. They were gentle, reassuring and very professional. For the first time going to the dentist wasn’t a massive pain! I am delighted and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Thank you Jessica, We are so glad you had a positive experience with us :)
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Sullivan dental to anyone I'm nervous when it comes to dentist but I can honestly say that John and his team have you calm relaxed before any procedure and it's so reassuring to know I'm getting the best care thank to John and his wonderful team
Thanks so much Mary, We are always happy to see you come through the door :)
Fantastic experience: Fully recommend Sullivans to anyone especially if your nervous. The staff make it feel as if your being welcomed into a home not a dentist. I wish I had of came across them years ago.
Thank you Conor! We appreciate your review :)
Fantastic experience: So happy with Sullivan Dental couldnt find nicer people to deal with they are so accommodating and especially if you have any nervousness about the dentist they have a great manner that just instantly puts you at ease John is a true gentleman and the ladies are always cheerful bubbly and polite. The premises is immaculately clean honestly I couldnt reccomend Sullivan Dental more
Thanks Deirdre, that's very kind of you. Thank you for leaving a review! :)
Fantastic experience: The best dentist in Ireland I have found. All care is painless with him, he always explains everything properly. He is very thorough and does an excellent job. I could not have found a better dentist than John and his medical staff. My husband is also very satisfied with it. And now my seven-year-old son also goes to him. For me this is the best dental office in Ireland!!!
Thanks Iveta, Your kindness is much appreciated and we love seeing you! :)
Fantastic experience: I have always found John and his team to be amazing but was really dreading this time round , had to have an extraction. I need not have worried they were all as amazing as ever and so professional done in minutes as always I would recommend John and his team of fabulous ladies thanks so much for all your care, ten stars ⭐from me
Thank you Catherine! We are glad everything went well for you and thank you for taking your time in leaving us a review :)
Fantastic experience: Sulliavn Dental are excellent. From the time I walked through the door to the time I left I was looked after to the best. I am a very nervous patient but John and his team made me feel at ease. I had a few extractions which needed stitches and John was so gentle that I didn't even know he had finished with my treatment. I would truly recommend Sullivan Dental, hence my 5 stars.
Thank you Mary, We are so glad you had a positive experience with us :)
Fantastic experience: Sullivan dentists are excellent. I was experiencing extreme pain and discomfort from a wisdom tooth yesterday and they firstly, fit me in yesterday morning and then after seeing me John fit me in the same day at the end of his working day as to not leave me in prolonged pain. They then followed up to see how I was feeling this morning with a phone call after the extraction yesterday evening. I cannot recommend John, Gina and Aoife highly enough. The level of service and professionalism is second to none. While nobody likes to visit a dentist they certainly made this experience a lot easier and almost enjoyable. Sincerest of thanks to John Sullivan and his team on Athy Road, Carlow
Fantastic experience: Like a lot of people, I dread going to the dentist. John and his team are so nice that you don't actually realise what is going on. I'm probably not their best patient but they do not make you feel silly if you are uncomfortable. Good honest advice too. I said one tooth was the problem but he could see it was a different tooth and he was right. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to John, Aoife, and Reda at Sullivan Dental for making me feel so at ease during my visit today. As a nervous patient, I couldn’t recommend Sullivan Dental enough!!
Fantastic experience: Wish there was an option to give 6 stars.................. I'm a complete coward and because of that I've been neglecting my teeth for a very long time. I never thought I'd be grateful for the Covid lockdown but that was how I got my introduction to Sullivan Dental and what a find! Sensing my fear and the need to urgently address some much needed dental surgery John spoke to me about their sedation option. What was also very calming was that there was no judgment just absolute empathy and understanding of my fears. I can honestly say John Sullivan and his Super Team are professional, kind, gentle and made the process, from start to finish, stress and pain free in a perfectly safe environment. AND the great thing is......I got my smile back! Thank You
Fantastic experience: Could not recommend John and his team enough at Sullivan Dental. After putting off going to the dentist for years I finally plucked up the courage to go and I would encourage anyone to do the same. I didn’t feel a thing during any procedures. There’s a lovely friendly atmosphere from the moment you walk through the door and I can gladly say that my fear is gone.
Thanks so much for your review Sheena! Really appreciate it! Happy New Year and we hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: I can't rate this place high enough. Every time I visit, I'm more impressed by how professional the staff are, how clean the place is, the great value, the helpfulness and overall good vibe you get from the place. Top dentist I've ever visited. Full marks.
Thanks a million Clifford for your kind review, you are very good!! See you soon! :)
Fantastic experience: I had a bit of work to be done and John and his team sorted me out professionally and efficiently. A truly amazing experience. John is a master at administering injections. I would recommend John and his team any day of the week.
Hi Luke, Thanks again for the positive feedback! :) We are so glad your experience here went well- wish you the very best for the year ahead! :)
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank John and his team for the excellent treatment I've received in Sullivan Dental. I was made to feel very welcome from the moment I first stepped inside the clinic and as a very nervous patient I was made to feel secure and relaxed and had such a good experience I had no fear on my return visit. I would highly recommend Sullivan Dental especially to anyone who's nervous of having dental treatment. I'm delighted to have found such an understanding Caring dentist and will gladly go for regular check ups in the future. I also received a phone call the next day to make sure everything was alright after my treatment, which was really considerate and special. Highly recommended.....
Hi Annette, Thanks again for leaving such a nice review. We will see you soon. :)
Fantastic experience: Simply put, John and his team put to bed all the fears of the worried client (me!).. I am the biggest wus when it comes to getting inside a dental surgery, but the work that is being done is painless, stress free and superb value... Oh, and I live across country from the practice, but it's well worth the travel for the piece of mind... Thanks to everyone at Sullivan dental for your great work.
Fantastic experience: My experience was just wonderful all my fears of going to the dentist are gone Mr Sullivan is so kind and so good at his job he is the best I have met also Susanne Mealey Hygienist lovely person so good at her job also Reda Smirnova gentle very helpful and all who work there highly recommend this place thank you so much Veronica Duffy
Fantastic experience: If, like me you have a fear of dentists then this is the dentist to go to now. Sullivan Dentists in Carlow. John and his team could not have been more professional or caring. I had to have an extraction recently under sedation on a very difficult tooth, and I was dreading it but it turned out that I never felt a thing..it was over before I knew it and the aftercare was really good too. I had a phone call each day for a few days just to make sure I was ok. Needless to say Sullivan Dentists will be my dentist for the future.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing team. Very friendly and put the most nervous of patients (like myself) at ease. John and the staff are very compassionate, understanding and is definately the best dentist around. I wouldn't have looked forward to dentist visits in the past but having attended this time I have no hesitation in going back in a couple of weeks. Could not recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I had a bad experience visiting a school dentist at an early age,so a dental visit for me was always a nightmare.Early this year I urgently needed bridgework done and fillings.John and his team were recommended to me by a friend.On the first visit I was very nervous but I was made feel very welcome as soon as I arrived at reception.John is so kind and has patience like ive never seen before.I opted for sedation for some treatment and afterwards felt fine ,unlike after sedation I had before.Just a pity I hadn't heard of this dental surgery until this year. It would have saved me a lot of sleepless nights worrying.John and his team are professional, helpful and friendly. I highly recommend him to anyone ,especially if you are a nervous patient. Thank you John and team.
Fantastic experience: I attended John's Dental Surgery on Tuesday 9th April 2019 for a white filing. All the girls there were lovely and welcoming. John greeted me with a friendly handshake and smile. And talked me through everything step by step, before starting. I was even given earphones which really helps to relax. I got lost listening to the music playing that the whole hour went so quickly. I commented afterwards that it was the best experience I have had when it came to having filings. I will be returning to see John and the Hygienist, that were recommended by the girls there. Thanks for making my experience such a good one.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist and team at Carlow Dental Clinic. I used to be vey anxious about going to the dentist but now feel relaxed and no nerves. Highly recommend this dentist, especially if you are anyway worried/nervous about getting work done on your teeth
Fantastic experience: Had very difficult extraction. John made me feel at ease very professional and carrying, he is an excellent dentist . Would recommended it to anyone. Very friendly, understanding and carrying staff too.
Fantastic experience: The quality of care is excellent! Dr John and his staff provides a calming touch with care and concern for his client’s wellbeing. I truly recommend him to everyone who has hard time with dentists in general. I rate him and staff 10/10
Fantastic experience: It was a great dentist experience. Everyone there is so nice and they fit me in last minute, which was great! I would denfinitly recommend going there. It is very profesional as well and as I already said everyone is so friendly and easy to talk to!
Fantastic experience: Made feel completely at ease, opted for the conscious sedation being a very nervous patient from previous bad experiences. Won't need it next time. Very professional service.
Fantastic experience: I have an absolute fear of going to the dentist and last week I knew I would have to go as I was in agony with my back tooth. I found out that John did sedation in his clinic, so I eventually made the appointment and went. I was sedated and couldn't recommend this enough, I felt absolutely nothing. John was so nice and made me feel so at ease. I thought I slept through the whole thing, I was there for over two hours as I had three teeth removed and it felt like I was only there a few minutes!!! All of the staff down there especially Gina made me feel so comfortable and couldn't have done any more for me. To anyone out there that has a fear of dentists I would 100% recommend sedation, I'm so glad I went now and would go back no problem
Fantastic experience: Brilliant dentist,he is out on his own,I fear dentists for years,but going to John I escape my fears .
