Fantastic experience: I'm coming to the end of my Invisalign treatment and I'm very happy with the results. I was never really happy with my smile and I'm delighted to have straighter teeth now. Dr Claire and her team are so friendly and professional and talk you through every step and are very thorough, explaining the procedures clearly. The staff on reception always make you feel welcome and are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend College Gate Dental for anyone looking for skilled and professional orthodontic services.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing Staff. Just had a filling done and felt very calm throughout the procedure and there was absolutely 0 pain unlike a previous dentist I had. I also felt very welcomed considering that I knew my teeth would be in bad shape as I haven't seen a dentist in a few years and used to not take good care of my teeth.

Dear Laura, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We're absolutely delighted to hear that your son had such a positive experience with Dr. Daniele Ryan. We understand how difficult dental visits can be after a negative experience, especially for younger patients, so it means a lot to know he felt relaxed and left with a smile. Daniele is truly dedicated to making every patient feel safe and supported, and your feedback is a wonderful reflection of that care. We'll be sure to share your lovely comments with her — they’ll mean the world to her. We look forward to welcoming you both back for his next visit! Warmest regards, College Gate Dental Team

Zara O Connor 9 months ago

Negative experience: I had been attending this dental clinic regularly every 3 months for over a year, but my recent experience has left me extremely disappointed. After a routine checkup and cleaning on 26th March (recommended due to previous gum concerns), I noticed a chip in one of my teeth shortly after—something that had never been there before. I contacted the clinic and was booked for a follow-up. During the appointment, I was told the chip was too small for bonding and was likely due to teeth grinding—something that had never once been mentioned in any of my previous visits. If there was evidence of grinding or weakness, I should have been informed before the cleaning so I could be aware of the potential risks. What has made this worse is the complete lack of response and accountability. I raised my concerns via email, and while I initially received a reply from David, he has not responded to my last email sent on 8th April or my follow-up on 27th April. I still haven’t received any refund or even an apology. This lack of professionalism and communication is unacceptable. Mistakes can happen, but the way this situation has been handled—or ignored—has been incredibly frustrating. I no longer feel confident in the care provided here and would not recommend this clinic to others.

College Gate Dental Clinic
College Gate Dental Clinic

Dear Zara, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your recent experience. As mentioned in our direct email communication, we did investigate your concern thoroughly by speaking with both the hygienist and the dentist involved in your care. They confirmed that the chipping was not caused during the hygiene appointment, but likely due to underlying factors such as grinding, which can weaken teeth over time. We understand that the timing may have felt linked, but no specific event during the appointment led to a chip being noted. We appreciate that this situation caused you distress, and as a valued patient of over two years, we offered a voucher towards future treatment as a gesture of care and goodwill. We always strive to treat our patients with honesty, transparency, and respect, and we regret that you feel let down on this occasion. Our door remains open should you wish to discuss this further or continue your care with us.

suzanne flood 10 months ago

Negative experience: After spending 4 thousand euros for my daughter’s braces, I rang today for an appointment. After being on hold more than once the receptionist told me to wait for a return of call. I asked if her job had changed as she said she didn’t have the power to give appointments.she told me to send in a cv for her to review if I wanted her position. She refused to tell me her name and hung up. I went directly to the clinic and spoke to the physio who is married to the owner. No offer of an apology or investigation. 24 hours later and no return of call. During my daughter’s treatment I have had acquaintances also tell me of certain issues they too had.

Dear Suzanne, Thank you for your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your recent experience with our clinic has left you feeling dissatisfied and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand that you were frustrated while trying to arrange an appointment, and we’re sorry for any confusion that may have occurred. However, we would like to clarify that you did in fact speak directly with our clinic manager during your visit, and an apology was offered at that time regarding the misunderstanding. Our aim is always to treat every patient and parent with respect and courtesy, even in challenging conversations. We recognize that managing high call volumes can sometimes lead to delays, and we are actively working to improve our response times. That said, we do stand by our team, who always strive to remain professional — even in difficult interactions. We remain committed to providing the highest level of care and service and welcome constructive dialogue and resolutions. Perhaps a public forum is not the best place to reach a solution, we would encourage you to contact the manager directly at [email protected]

Sharon Morris 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took a decision 8 weeks ago to face my fears and go to the dentist after what has been far too long. I have a severe gag reflex, which in the past has made visiting the dentist extremely difficult. Given the time that has passed Dr Emmet Ryan was faced with both a challenging patient and the double whammy of some complicated work to be done. However, both Emmet and the full team in College Gate have been outstanding showing great care, patience and professionalism, working hard to look after my dental needs. I’d highly recommend Dr Ryan to anyone looking for a good dentist in the area.

Fantastic experience: Very grateful to Dr Deepak Thomas and his dental nurse for their excellent care when I had to have two wisdom teeth removed recently. They settled any nerves I had and made me feel very reassured with their professionalism and caring attitude in the lead up. I felt very well supported in terms of after care and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Alan Murphy 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: An Oral Surgeon and Dental Nurse at the zenith of their expertise. I had an extra tooth which grew seemingly for no reason at the bottom right back of my gum when I was a kid. An x-ray was done at the clinic and showed it grew flat on its belly over the years and was millimetres away from touching the nerve so it was recommended to me that it be removed. The Oral Surgeon Mr Thomas performed the tooth extraction and was aided by Rachel, one of the dental nurses. Intravenous sedation was recommended and organised. Their level of professional skill, precision and aptitude was exceptional. Both Mr Thomas and Rachel were friendly, focused and completely put me at ease with the procedure being done without complication, hesitation or disconcertment. Perhaps in the hands of a less experienced surgeon there may have been complications as it was not a straightforward extraction but that certainly wasn't the case here. The aftercare I received was exceptional also with medications being prescribed to aid with my recovery. The receptionists were polite and professional and looked after all my needs which is the first interaction you have when you arrive at the clinic and I think sets a precedent for the way the practice is perceived by patients.Everything was Excellent. I would highly recommend this dental practice and I have been attending for several years and will continue to do so.

Fantastic experience: Just finished up my dental treatment with Dr Stephen. I had been petrified for years to see a dentist from past experiences, my friend recommended Dr Stephen to me and I’m so thankful she did. From the moment you go in your greeted by the lovely friendly receptionist’s, I nervously waiting for Stephen to come get me but by the time I had a chat with him he made me feel so much at ease. Before he injected my mouth you are numbed first therefore you feel nothing. I can happily say the more I went the less fear I had as I knew I was in fantastic hands. All fillings completed and a lovely shiny white smile. I cannot talk College Gate Dental enough. Thanks again Stephen for helping me get over my fear.

Fantastic experience: I had my wisdom tooth removed this morning at College Gate Dental. Even though I had my top wisdom teeth removed in the past I was feeling quite nervous. The dentist Danielle who is absolutely lovely spoke me through everything, any questions I had were answered thoroughly. She made me feel at ease with her gentle caring approach. I barely felt the numbing injections she gave me & the extraction was so quick & easy I couldn’t believe how soon it was all over. All the signs of a great dentist. I’ve to get my second wisdom tooth out in 2 weeks & I know I’ll go in to that appointment knowing I’m in good hands & a lot less nervous. The receptionists, dental assistants are also so lovely & helpful. At home recovering now, just a little sore but feeling good.I highly recommend College Gate Dental.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Emmet is a brilliant dentist! I'm just home from my second visit with him and I wouldn't know I had any procedures done today as I am in no discomfort at all. He is so kind, chatty and caring. He talked me through lots of different options and made me feel completely at ease. Both times I left the clinic with a spring in my step and in a great mood! I've already recommended him to all my family and friends.

Celine McMullen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: During the horrible time of covid I had a very bad tooth that was very deep rooted and causing me excruciating pain. I hadn't been to a dentist for about thirty years due to a very bad experience, no names mentioned. I really didn't know were to turn. I checked for local dentist's in the hope that I could get some help. I rang College GateDental clinic and a very kind receptionist made an appointment for that afternoon where I met Victor and he along with his assistant made me feel very relaxed and talked me through everything he was doing, he had some job that day, He was amazing. From that day forward I promised myself that when covid was over I would return and get my very badly neglected teeth sorted. In May of this year I finally decided to make an appointment, it was then I met Dr Daniele Ryan who has since done amazing work on my teeth that were so discoloured and broken. I never could have believed that it would be possible to ever restore them. After some fillings Daniele referred me to her colleague Estelle Farrelly an unbelievable hygienist who took great pleasure in restoring my teeth, she did a brilliant job. Then back to Daniele and her lovely kind assistant Nana to have a mould made in order to whiten my teeth, and finally today Tuesday September 5th just back after having my front teeth sorted out with composite bonding. Spent three hours with Daniele and Nana, I was very emotional when I saw the result of the finishing touches to my lovely white teeth, poor Daniele and Nana, sorry for the little cry of joy. I am so happy to say at least I got one good thing out of the dreaded covid times, I found my forever Dentist in College Gate Dental clinic. I also want to say to Carmel, Linda, Raphael and Debra on reception, you are the kindest most patient people I have ever encountered. Daniele you are amazing, you made me feel so at ease from day one also the lovely Nana, your smiles are infectious, you are a perfect team. I really enjoyed my time with you and the brilliant soundtrack in the background. I never thought I would say this but it was a pleasure to be with you, thank you all so very much for everything. Celine.

Fantastic experience: What can I say but exceptional! The care, the attention, from putting me at my ease as I have a fear of the dentist to the actual work that was done. At all times I was made to feel in control, relaxed and informed every step of the way. Their pricing was clear, easy to understand and very reasonable. The quality of the work done was excellent and at no time was I made feel rushed or pressurised. I will be back to Danielle as she is a true gem. For someone who has avoided the dentist for a decade I now will be the opposite and have already scheduled my check ups and actually look forward to the visit. Still got some work to be done but I am actually looking forward to the appointments and getting it all done. Thanks and Danielle and Team. I’d give you 10 stars if I could Regards Doreen McNamara

Hi Holly, Its a great feeling, when we help patients overcome their fear. Dentistry has come along way from where it was in years gone by. Advances in pain relief, better equipment and a higher skill level of our dentists means a trip to visit us is not something to worry about any more. When you have super friendly and caring nurses and a dentist you can relax with, then your visit can be something to look forward too. Its recommended to get a clean every 6 months and a yearly check up. So don't be a stranger. Thanks again Holly for the lovely review.

Fantastic experience: I have recently visited college dental to start the process on my daughters braces. They are very professional and made my daughter feel at ease from the very start They have explained things clearly and I am happy to start her journey with them. Danielle was so lovely and my daughter needed two teeth extracted also and she made this so easy as my daughter did not feel anything and felt no pain after either. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Had a wisdom tooth removed that really needed to go. Dr. Daniele explained how the procedure would go very well. Any questions were answered with a smile. Taking out the tooth didn’t hurt at all. She is very attentive and even remembered that I sometimes dog sit. Would 100% recommend going here.

Fantastic experience: I have attended College Gate for several years. In the last few weeks, I have received excellent care from Dr Danielle as I had a bad abscess and then an extraction. She is very competent and professional and also extremely kind and empathic. She followed up with regular calls and her dedication and genuine concern was very evident. She demonstrated to my son how to clean his teeth properly with braces in a way that he clearly understood. He told me she is the nicest dentist ever! I would highly recommend College Gate Clinic Tara Kelly

Ian Daly 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I want to tell everyone about the great experience I had with Claire and her team at College Dental. I came to Claire in August 2019 when I was 42.5 years old. I went to a different orthodontist and was recommended that I needed surgery to repair an overbite at a cost of €12k! In my despair, I decided to get a 2nd opinion. I had an x ray so Claire could determine the treatment I needed and to check my bone structure. She clarified that I needed braces for 2 years approximately, so I got my top cosmetic brace fitted the following week and bottom soon after. €170 per month over 2 years. My treatment took 3.5 years you Claire will advise you and give a an approximate time scale for your treatment. It could take longer so be prepared for that. So worth it in the end! Nobody liked the dentist and wish I did this years ago. I'd like to really thank Claire and her team, Erika, Katie, friendly receptionists, dental nurses, Eva and other, hygienists, Sarah and Laura and the staff in College Gate who I came into contact with and worked on my teeth. Big shout out to Dr. Stephen Taylor who did my composite bonding also.✌️ College Gate stayed open all through COVID19 to keep my treatment going. Claire is extremely experienced and an expert in her field. It was a long process but overjoyed with my results. I'd wholeheartedly 100% recommend College Gate for any dental work, braces, or orthodontal treatment for anyone. I contemplated going to Turkey but got everything I needed and more right here in Dublin. College Gate is also a great location for parking, buses, close to the M50, lunch next door in Eurospar and pharmacy too. Love my smile and thank you so much again, Claire

Fantastic experience: First time coming to College Gate Dental and I don’t think I’d go anywhere else! The girls in reception were so welcoming. Stephen is the denist there and he is amazing so genuine and really nice, my whole process was so quick and easy I was in and out I got internal whiten done on my tooth and the difference is just amazing I am absolutely delighted with the work he done on my teeth! For someone who works a Mon-Fri job this practice made my appointments easy to attend as Stephen sits early and late some evenings. Overall I would highly recommend Stephen, I have already recommended this place to so many friends and family. I will 100% return here

Christopher Weldon 2 years ago

Negative experience: Very disapointed with the service i got . Claire told my 12 year daughter and myself they could do braces for my daughter ..done x-ray and 3d scans singed the contract ... then on my 4th appointment... they told my daughter she would have to wait till she is 16 years off age and need jaw surgery not mentiond befor in previous appointments... not reconmend very bad business indeed ....

College Gate Dental Clinic
College Gate Dental Clinic

We are sorry to hear you are disappointed that it is not recommended that your daughter starts brace treatment just now. As was explained at the first visit we needed more information to determine whether or not she was able to start treatment and this was the reason for the other appointments. It is standard practice in orthodontic practice to get XRays and scans after the initial examination and before a treatment plan is made. These investigations revealed that your daughter needs surgery which cannot be started until she is 16 years old. We appreciate that this is not the the information you or the clinician wanted but following the best clinical advice will have a better outcome in the long run. This was the best advice in her case I am sorry that you are upset by this news. All patients sign a risk benefit form and this was the document you signed not a contract. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Prithivraj Selvaraj 3 years ago

Negative experience: Excellent doctors and polite staff at this clinic but their payment and accounting system is a hot mess. I made the mistake of giving my card details over the phone a couple of times for a refundable "booking deposit", I never got the money back even though I attended all appointments on time. I lost 110 euro in total this way. Edit : same name used for booking. My wife (Akila) was also another patient. Edit 2 : Nobody contacted

Margaret Marcano 3 years ago

Negative experience: I called to do an x-ray for my 3-year-old son who fall and hit his mouth, and the receptionist said they could do it, but at the time of the consultation Dr. Anna Hartnett did not want to take the x-ray, according to her it would not be necessary, even though a change in colour could be noted in the gums and a small lump in the vestibular fundus, according to her we could not see anything in the x-ray and the radiation could be dangerous for the child ,so I insisted without telling her who I was, but she told me to look for someone who would do the x-ray because she would not take it, I, Margaret Marcano as a dentist specialist in endodontics with more than 15 years of experience, I am sure that many things can be discovered with the help of an x-ray, especially after trauma in young children , X-rays are an invaluable tool for diagnostics and if you do not find anything it is much better and your conscience will be clear, radiographic equipment of this generation are safe and do not cause any danger. I understand that each dentist has his own opinion, but what really bothered me was her lack of concern for the patient and her lack of knowledge regarding the radiographic exam. I was surprised when she told me that we could not see anything in the x-ray, wow, I guess in the University did not teach her that radiography is fundamental for the diagnosis of any general treatment, surgical, endodontic, periodontal, paediatric, orthodontic, prosthetic So dear doctor, I recommend a little more curiosity in this profession, dentistry is more deep than cavities and cleaning, and more importantly be careful, you never know who the person in front of you could be, do not take patients as ignorant.

Fantastic experience: I had to change Dentists about a 18 months ago as my previous Dentist retired and I had trouble with a tooth and College Gate Dental gave me an appointment fairly quickly. I attended Anna who was brilliant but she moved on and I was assigned Steven who is exceptionally good. He explains everything he is doing and makes things as simple as possible. I had difficulty with a tooth during the Christmas period and much to my surprise they were open very shortly after Christmas and I was given an emergency appointment and got sorted by Steven. Very efficient and very friendly staff and would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I used to hate dentists out of fear for 15+ years until i had to go in after 2 cracked teeth forced me. On a whim I choose this dentist. I can tell you my fear has gone away. I got set up with Steven and it has been an amazing journey so far. I've gotten my teeth filled, cleaned, whitened and soon a replacement cap on my front tooth. He is very professional, patient and understanding, I cant give him enough praise. He is also pretty chill with prices and gives special offers depending on your circumstances, compared to other quoted prices he is a steal. Id highly recommend asking for him, he is a private dental surgeon that rents a part of this building so he is independent. If you are reading this and had fear like me, rest easy knowing your in good hands. Ask for Steven.

Thanks so much Peadar we will let Stephen know.

Negative experience: My daughter went there in pain, was told in advance it would be 50€, then they gave her an xray which was an extra 40€ she asked was it OK to run to the car to get the extra 40 from me as I was sitting outside minding the baby, the whole time the dentist Claire spoke very rudely and down to her, however the receptionist was nice, my daughter came back up paid the extra 40€to the receptionist, and the dentist told her she could not deal with what she needed done and gave her another number to call and only gave her a prescription for pain killers, so that was 90€ gone, said she would email the xrays and info on to the new other dentist she recommended, when my daughter rang the recommended dentist to make sure he got the xray and report, he hadn't, so my daughter had to call back college gate dental to see why and this very rude dentist told her she didn't send anything on because she left without paying!! The absolute cheek of her, my daughter told her I paid the receptionist which the receptionist could back up, not even a simple apology from the dentist just">well, she never told me" very unprofessional and totally has the wrong attitude and personality to be dealing with people in health care, needless to say my daughter won't be returning and neither will Any of our family, it costs nothing to be nice!

K.S. Gkika 7 years ago

Negative experience: Awful. Do not go to the dentist here. The nurse/assistant was told to take an xray before I even expressed what I had booked an appointment for and before the dentist even examined my teeth with her own eyes. She then told me I had no infection but prescribed me really strong antibiotics. In addition she said all my wisdom teeth had come out but guess what, only one has. She also said "great teeth no fillings" and I have a filling since I was in my teens. Stay away from this place. Tragic excuse of a dentist.

Dear Sofia. I am very concerned to hear that you had this experience.

Dear Sofia we have tried to identify you on our database and we cannot. Can you contact the clinic for a refund. Also is it possible that you attended with a different name?
