Fantastic experience: Such a positive experience throughout After having multiple negative experiences at other practices, it made me become a very nervous patient. They were all so kind and patient with me, getting to the root cause of my dental problem. Riona is a well trained and lovely dentist, talked me through everything and let me know my options. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I am not a fan of the dentist so I had been putting it off too long. Although I don’t necessarily want I see them regularly, I taught they were super, everything was on time and the pain was kept to a minimum

Fantastic experience: Relocated to Dublin from the States about six months ago. Merrion Dental was my first Irish dental experience and it was a great one. Dr. Catherine was friendly and knowledgeable. Appointment went smoothly, and there was no sales pitch for whitening or anything else I didn't need. Much appreciated, and I look forward to returning.

Andras Beszterczey 1 year ago

Negative experience: I went for a €145 full check and clean… they did the minimum: a good check (inc x-ray), picked off the worst plaque, with a lil polish on some teeth. It took under 20mins (usually takes 35-45). My appointment was the day’s first at 8am and they were not ready till 8:20 - they didn’t have any patients before me, there was nobody there, even to tell me that I’ll need to wait a while. The service would have been 3* but the airport treatment is not my favourite.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful group of ladies. Every time I go there I am warmly greeted. The new waiting area is lovely and the coffee machine is a nice touch. Riona is superb. She deals with me and my gag reflex so amazingly well and is patient, kind and understanding when she is working on my teeth and keeps having to stop so I can have a break. She is so pleasant and professional. Thanks to all at Merrion Road Dental.

Fantastic experience: Merrion Road Dental is an excellent dental practice. I needed new overnight retainers and after comparing prices at several dentists, MRD was the most reasonable by a long way. The dentist, Riona, performed my scan and made sure my new retainers fit properly when they arrived. The Vivera retainers are amazing. I barely notice I am wearing them, compared to my old ones which were so chunky and ill-fitting. Every member of staff that I met was so friendly and welcoming, both in person and over the phone. Following this experience, I hope to return to MRD for a general dental check. Thanks to everyone involved :)

Fantastic experience: Riona got me out of trouble (above and beyond) many years ago and I have stayed with her ever since. An excellent dentist and a very pleasant, professional practice to visit. All the staff I've met there have been excellent.

Annie O'Neill 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Riona, Catherine and their team are so kind. They are very good at putting you at ease. Definitely the best dental practice I’ve ever been to!

Dreb 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic dentistry. Have had most of my dental needs done here and when they were previously in Blackrock clinic and every time it's been straight forward. I hope I don't need anything major done in the near or distant future but if I do I know I'll be in very professional safe hands. Even their booking process is handled excellently by their staff regardless of if it's online or over the phone. Cannot recommend them enough.

Corrina Mitchell 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had a fear of dentists since my childhood and have put off visiting for over 15 years. Am just back from a long-overdue examination and scale and polish by Dr Catherine Nestor and am so relieved to have found such an excellent, understanding and kind dentist at last! Both Dr Nestor and her lovely nurse, Roisin put me completely at ease, gave me a thorough examination and comprehensive advice and I am now determined to keep up with regular dental checks! Many Thanks to you all at Merrion Road Dental - I really appreciate your patience and hard work!

Mar Riam 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Changed over to this practice and I cannot recommend them enough! I am highly anxious and had to come in for some fillings and a cleaning. I honestly didn't feel one thing, not the injections (my first ever as well!) nor the fillings! Dr Morris and the lovely nurse were making sure I was comfortable every step of the way and looked well after me. I am delighted to have made such a pleasant experience and look forward come back! Top choice for nervous patients! Thanks again ❤️

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant team. Relaxed, friendly and professional. Dr. Catherine Nestor sorted me out from toothache to crown. It's great to see someone with a real passion and interest in what they do! Highly recommended.

Kasia Marcinowska 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a very nervous patient with a terrible dental experience in the past I was avoiding dentists for years.. well, no more after a wonderful treatment received in the Merrion Road Dental! Dr Catherine Nestor, Andrea and Roisin are just unbelievable-very understanding, caring, professional and are always making sure that I feel comfortable, I could not ask for a better service! The treatment is on a very high level, totally painless and I know that I am in very good hands! Come and see for yourself, best decision a nervous patient like me can make!

Lydia Brazil 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I attended here for the first time recently and found Catherine fantastic,. She gave me an excellent, comprehensive examination and was extremely welcoming. I was nervous and she put me at ease immediatley. I have to get wisdom teeth removed and she referred me straight away. I was totally at ease with Catherine which is important to me being a nervous patient. I will be back with Catherine for a clean and polish and I am delighted to have finally found a dentist that I will be returning to.

Andy Greene 6 years ago

Negative experience: Planned with them to get a clean for 80 euro, which was fine, but then when I left they told me it was 145 euro, with a "consultation fee". In addition, the receipt they gave me has lots of mistakes which makes it difficult for me to arrange with my insurance provider. So it seems they are a bit unprofessional in how they arrange fees and services.

Dear Andy,
We are really sorry that you are frustrated over the above. A consultation fee is charged with the scale and polish on a patients initial visit to the practice as the dentist needs to examine your teeth to help give a diagnosis and answer all of the patients questions. We quoted the price of an exam and clean over the phone but deeply regret if it was not made clear enough. If a person is qualified for Prsi (this depends on contributions made through employment) then the initial consultation is covered.
Our dental computer system prints the receipts directly but if you have any problems with the insurance company requiring different wording then please do not hesitate to contact.
Best Wishes
Merrion Road Dental

Fantastic experience: Catherine was fantastic. I’m generally very nervous going to the dentist and become very anxious just before a procedure but Catherine really made me feel at ease from the get go and was very patient, something that I find other dentists lack! I had to have a large filling replaced and she was very quick and efficient, I felt like I was in and out in no time and questioned why I was so nervous in the first place! I will definitely return. Thanks Catherine and team.

Andy Sun 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just finished my check and cleaning here. All of them are friendly, helpful and professional. And thanks a million Catherine! :)

Donna Lawless 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: As someone with a morbid fear of the dentist, I couldn't recommend Catherine highly enough. She has the best bedside manner and understands how to deal with someone who is so nervous that she almost cuts a hole into the dental chair with her nails and sweats so much she nearly needs to bring a change of clothes!!!! Having attended Catherine for a couple of years at this stage, I am far less anxious about dental visits, something I am amazed at. I would never have predicted any easing of that particular anxiety. She and her team and extremely pleasant and very professional. The office itself is a spacious and comfortable place, located in a leafy area. She has performed root canals on me as well as a surgical extraction and a wisdom tooth extraction and crowns so I've had a fair bit done and I have no complaints. Another big plus is the way she encourages you to mind your teeth for those of us that could be doing better in that area (I drank too much Coke and it ruined my teeth) without berating you like a child as was the case with previous dentists. I would 100% recommend Merrion Road Dental to anyone.

Robert Ritter 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: These dentists are absolutely the most genuine and honest dentists in town. I highly recommend then for their skills and professionalism!

Cian Whooley 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Wouldn't be a big fan of the dentist but the black rock clinic was fantastic. They were very helpful, cherry and gentle on the gums which was very welcome. Thanks for the help - I'll be back in 6 months!

Irlandesa Lopez 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: It was my first time to the dentist in Ireland and as English is not my first language I was quite nervous. Catherine couldn't have been more helpful and made me feel at ease. Highly recommend Blackrock clinic.

Maire O Dwyer 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot rate Blackrock Clinic Dentistry highly enough. Catherine, Riona and all the team are so helpful and professional, always providing an excellent service. They are also available for emergency appointments.

Kieran Hanley 9 years ago
