Dental Options

Your teeth are a very important part of your overall health. Not only do they help you eat, speak and smile, but healthy and attractive teeth make for a healthier, more attractive and happier you.

The fully qualified dentistry team at Blackrock Hall is here to offer you professional advice about how caring for your teeth and maintaining good oral health can improve and maintain your health and well-being.

As part of the team we take a multi-disciplinary approach to your care. We work with GPs and other healthcare professionals to ensure that your overall good health is maintained.

Easy and relaxed personal service
We take a personal interest in every customer and lowering your fear and anxieties is our priority. We use safe, pain free procedures so that you feel comfortable at all stages of your treatment. Our clinic has been designed for your comfort and safety, from the massage chair to the plasma screens on the ceiling to the air-conditioned light-filled rooms.

Latest equipment and technology
Our dental procedures are performed with the aid of a microscope which gives a greater level of accuracy and ensures longer durability of treatment in time. We operate the most modern sterilisation facility in Ireland and use digital X-rays to illustrate every stage of your dental treatment.
