Smiles Dental

Forget about the classic Dentist with a cosy waiting area, some relaxing music and a private room to get treatment. Let me introduce you to the «fast food» of dentist industry :-)
Inside, an open floor area with array of seats divided by a white glass. While you wait you can listen all the drills operating by doctors and see the first dentist chair with patient being visited (zero privacy).
My doctor, chosen randomly when I called for an appointment was always in a hurry, even during our conversation. It seemed he wanted to reach the record of maximum patients in one day. Even the final greetings were made in a rush. Got x-​ray and cleaning service for 90 Euro.
I have to say, nothing went wrong but I haven’t got that warm feeling anytime. Even at the reception and check-​in area was a neutral/​cold service. Probably it is what you get when price is lower than competitors.
If you are looking for an empathic and more customer oriented service and care less on the fees, you might find better elsewhere.

Short version: A Smiles’ dentist saved my vacation.
Long version: The day I was leaving the U.S. for Ireland, one of my crowns came out along with the post. My dentist cemented it back it, but the crown and post came out several hours later. A day after I arrived in Dublin, I called Smiles and was able to get an appointment for the next day. The dentist I saw was a woman who I thought was named Donna, but there is no Donna on their staff, so perhaps I got her first name wrong. Anyway, she and her dental nurse, operating in a very collaborative manner, cemented the tooth in, charging a very reasonable price for the examination and procedure (140 Euros.) I didn’t think the tooth would last the day based on my previous experience with my dentist, but it stayed in during the next 12 days of my vacation, thus minimizing the chances of infection and preventing the gum from growing over the area of the tooth. I’ve been back in the U.S. for a few days and the tooth is still in. Great job!

Forced into going the dentist by a demon of a tooth, rang Smiles and got an appointment the next morning. All of the staff from the receptionist to the nurse and dentist where very friendly. I was immediately put at ease, got my check up and some treatment there and then. The most painless dentist visit ever!
If you are nervous about the dentist, go to smiles!

Smiles Dental was created like a cosmetic service, i.e. teeth whitening. Later, thanks to the high prices required by private dentistry, it managed to place itself in the market as a low cost dental service. The results include inexperienced dentists, limited presence of assistants or just their absence, a drive to squeeze as much money as possible from customers regardless of the service and, in general, approximated services for desperate people, looking for «handy open hours» or low prices.
I have been a customer of Smiles Dental for one month. Instead of making me pay for the service I needed (root canal treatment) they were making me pay little by little, more or less randomly, visit after visit. After 3 visits I paid almost 500 euros, the treatment had not been completed, I still needed to be treated elsewhere for additional cost and I got no refunding at all for what they did, including an injection of anhestetic extremely close to a nerve (you can’t imagine how painful it was). This was all caused by the lack of experience of their personnel. One thing is to fly low cost with Ryanair and get no meal on the flight, another is to play with your health ending up in such hands.
Avoid at all costs.

I got mixed feelings about smiles. Great customer attention, gentle practioners –god u need that, dont u? They even check for u if u qualify for free treatment but they push u for treatments. I got 2xrays today that werent really needed since i wasnt in pain. Wasnt ask whether i want them or not and wasnt told that it came at extra price… the idiotic naïve me thought that was a freebie in the view to get me to come back for a filling or two-​and she unconvincingly found 3to do!
Handy opening hours anyway but i left with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth ;-)

Hi Everybody. Haven’t Unilocaled in a while cos I felt the reviews were written better then I could have hopes to. But I had the most amazing experience at the dentist last week. Yes it sounds a bit weird and no I am not into S&M ! Okay maybe a little but who doesn’t like a light spank now and then but I digress.
I lost a filling last week and so needed it fixed. Now have been to in total 12 dentist in my 27 years mainly because I have awful teeth and am always searching for a cheaper dentist to fix them. I rang the dentist i was with and his books were full for the next few weeks and even then the times meant taking time off work. So I was delighted to find the above dental place near work open seven days a week.
I made an appointment for last Sunday and the level of service was incredible. What was also incredible was he gave me an estimate of cost prior to doing any work which was cheaper then the prices I was paying.
I think I have settled on a dentist for the foreseeable future and Smiles dental is It.
