Dedicated to our existing patients
We are no longer taking new patients. In order to be able to care for and treat our existing patients in a timely manner, we have made the decision not to further expand our patient base.
However, an exception is made for immediate family (children under 18/partner) of existing patients.
One of our dentists, Dr David Finnegan, does currently have space in his book at our sister practice Airport Dental

Payment for treatment is expected on the day. We accept cash and card we offer payment plans for our Six Month Smiles Orthodontic treatment. Your medical or dental insurance can sometimes cover a proportion of the cost. We are registered with VHI, Aviva, Laya and Glow. Our reception team will help in any way required. You can also claim back some costs of certain dental treatments from the revenue on the MED2 form. We will be happy to help you with this.
Dental Emergencies
If you are a patient of our practice and have a dental emergency please call our practice first thing that morning where we will try to accommodate you as soon as possible. Please bear in mind that emergency appointments are rarely available at our most popular times (lunch/after work) and we may need some flexibility from you as to your appointment time.
