TESTIMONIALS

I was always a nervous patient – until I met Claire. I needed several veneers and the process took time, but after my first visit I had no further concerns, no problem coming back. She explains everything as she is doing it and responds to my body language! I’m a new woman
Miriam Cleary
So delighted I met Dr. Claire and the team in the practice. I now look forward to my check ups; knowing I’m in the right hands!!
Fiona McNee
I have met both Claire and Emer, the two dentists in Sandyford Dental and both treated me with such care and professionalism. I’m very fussy and have had bad experiences through the years but the whole practice put me at ease from my first phone call to when I left the surgery, pain free!
Aoife Ní Fhloinn
I saw the same hygienist for a long time and was quite apprehensive starting with another. But Michelle, the hygienist in Sandyford Hall is just amazing. You can tell she is very experienced. She does such a thorough job and really goes through everything with you as regards your daily hygiene routine and how to improve… highly recommend
