Dentist's in Waterford

rude awakening

Im just wondering if anyone can recommend a reliable dentist in Waterford? One thats not a "Butcher" for all the world when your getting anything done to your teeth, and that does a fairly good job.
If they had Cover and also were city central that would be a bonus.:)

All recommendations welcome
Thanks a mill

Gus Papathomas is very good. He's moved to the new building next to wlfrm

Hi OP,
Funny you mentioned

One thats not a "Butcher"

cause a friend at work got his teeth done recently and said the same words. He ended up going to http://euromed.ie and he is very happy with the results and the way he was treated. They are located on the Gracedieu Road.

- BFG

Ronan Fox is in the O Connell St surgery too along with Noeleen Walsh, and I find him very very good. Pleasant chap, no complaints whatsoever about his work, I've been to a fair few dentists and orthodontists over the years and he's the best I've been to.

Is that the one by the doctors there? I went in there a few years back.. took two dentists to remove my tooth the girl couldnt do it so your man just ripped it out in about 3 seconds worst pain of my life id say :mad:

Had to get quite a bit of work done late last year due to neglect and fear of dentists so i would totally recommend Brasscock Dental Practice at the Ballinakill Centre on the Dunmore Road.Des Kennedy is the proprietor but it was Niamh Morris who dealt with me.

John Hackett accross from the firestation is great, gone to him all my life and never once been butchered

I recommend Dermot Crowley in Adkeen.

Another recommendation here for Noeleen Walsh in O'Connell Street. I used have the worst fear of dentists til I found her. She's very gentle and takes your mind off what you're having done. She also opens late on Tuesdays (until 7.30pm I'm nearly sure) which is handy if you can't get time off work during regular opening hours.

Yes another vote for Gus, Nice demeanor and good dentist.
I like the way he says "dont hate me for this" as he inserts the needle"lol

I would also have to recommend Noeleen Walsh in O Connell St.
Im going to her 10 yrs now and find her excellent

I was actually going to post this today!
I haven't been to a dentist in 15 years(im only 24:()

I'm afraid of my life of the thought of it even!!!!

My teeth are in a bad state, and i think i'm going to have to suck it up and head in and just get em done!

Is there any dentist that can actually "put you under" to do work on your teeth.

I really am ****ting myself at the thought of heading in!

That was exactly the way I was, hadn't been to a dentist since school (the clinic in Newgate Street put me right off!). I was petrified. Noeleen Walsh completely put me at ease and I wouldn't think twice about going to the dentist now.

For what it's worth, I attended that dentist for years and have nothing but good things to report. His daughter is also supposed to be very good from what I hear.

Just because you may have had a tough time, doesn't mean they're bad at their job. You may well have had the same situation with any dentist. I've had a dentist practically put his knee up on me so that he could get a tough tooth out. Sure, it hurt, but he got it out!

The OP asked for recommendations on dentists. Can't we stick to doing that instead of bad-mouthing a family-business in tough times?

Does anyone know if a dentist can actually knock you out/ Put you out, to work on your teeth, or do you have to go to a hospital for anestetic?

I'd really much prefer tis option!!!

There are 3 dentists surgerys in Ballybricken and nobody mentioned names, family business etc. Like everywhere, there are good and bad dentists. the exception is that Noeleen Walsh is one of the best.

I'm afraid its local anesthetic in Wexford. Had to have it done 6 years ago in Wexford. If I was you i wouldn't be afraid. I go to Noeleen Walsh's every 6 months and had a good bit of work done over the last few years. That included fixing problems caused by "another" certain dentist. Absolutely, no pain whatsoever and Noeleen doesn't rush it and she does talk you through it.

There is an orthodontist that i used to see where the old ESB building is on the mall, he used to be able to bring in an anesthetist (very expensive) for proceures. But, if you just go to the dentist and find out what needs to be done, she'll be able to advise you before doing anything. Serious, you should arrange an appointment and just find out what needs to be done and take it from there.

I'm going to her for the last 7 years & have had no problems. Will also fit you in at short notice & if it's an emergency

eeloe

This noleen walsh sound like the one to go to the, is it against forum rules for one of her patients to post her contact details, I guess ill just make an appoiontment and see what condition my mouth is in and then decide if I can convince myself to have it done!

I'm actually ashamed of myself for letting my teeth get the way they are!

Johnnnybravo

Id recommned Richard O Hara, I was in last year, hadnt been to a dentist in 15 years due to a hatred of them after a guy in Carrick on Suir butchered me as a child, Richard extracted 2 teeth and did 8 fillings. I have never been to Mrs O Hara but I could`nt fault Richard based on the several visits over 2 months I had to endure.

They are not in the ESB anymore, moved to Grattan Quay for a while but have moved out to the cleaboy indusrial estate now...but yea you can request local anesthetic... if you are really nervous you can get a sedative. that seems to ease a lot of people, just ring up and ask( I worked in reception in a specialist dental surgery)

I reccommend Noleen Walsh in O Connell street, Ive been going there about 2 years, went to Dr fox once for a filling too and it was fine.

what a name for a dentist

the german girl at the top of belvedere drive before you turn into lisduggan is brilliant.
ive been through a good few dentist over the years and shes the best by a long shot.

Libby029

i would second Claudia at the top of browns road, i think it is called Belvedere Dentist. She is a dote and it so brilliant. The last time i was in with her, i had a filling and actually fell asleep!!!!!! She is brilliant for nervous people, my mother hadn't been in a dentist for years, and her teeth were in an awful state, so i finally convinced her to go, and she had her sorted in no time, and now mam goes to her without a second thought.

I agree , remember Caludia when she worked in another dental surgery, and she is the best .

You would'nt even notice you were having treatment carried out .

I'd go with Gus always. I avoided the dentist for many, many years - since the days of the dispensary in New Gate Street. But a few years back I went to Gus and he was great. Very pleasant and really knows his stuff.

yeah had a couple of fillings done. it wasnt claudia tho i think. she was a youngish irish girl working there too. nice girl. not bad lookin either!

Do any Waterford dentists have links to dental practices abroad. I've heard some Spanish and other Euro countries carryout orthodontic work for a fraction of the cost here.

hardybuck

This thread could do with some refreshing, anyone gone to the new Smiles clinic on Canada Street? Their prices seem very cheap, I wonder is quality good.

Another who has been away from the dentist for around 10 years or so. Had braces for years and couldn't face going back for regular check ups. My teeth seem fine, but I'm not looking forward to the large bill I expect to face.

Is that town dental down by the park your talkin about? Ive had some treatment in there,Im not finished yet,I found the dentist very good! I want to get further treatment done and he will refer me to a specialist in Dublin but told me to really think about it first, and I think that is important that your not pushed into something! (Ive worked in a specialist dental surgery in Waterford,so know a few things about who's good & who are butchers)

danjo-xx

Been with the *butcher* for about 4yrs now....regular 6 month check ups.... a few fillings and one extraction. Pleased with the work......but

Very quick...too quick now that I think about it....on last visit never gave enuf time for injection to take good effect...always kept me in the chair and got to work asap..... last visit was not nice at all. Also zero personality.

Time for a change me thinks.

Aye, he's very good. He'll actually sit you down and talk to you before getting anything done. Some dentists just get stuck in without doing preliminary work, x-rays, discussion or anything and then tell you you need x amount of fillings, crowns or whatever when it might only be cosmetic work needs doing.

michellie

Yea he does, he makes sure you understand exactly what is wrong or what he is going to do. Even draws you a picture to explain it! Little things like this make a big difference.

ASAI

I was told is two doctors in TownDental are they both good? Or witch one you have in mind?
And who would be best with children,my daughter 2 and need help with front teeth...

wellboy76

I would recommend Gus too. But ask before you get anything done, I thought one or 2 of the dentists out there were a bit pushy in telling me to get work done. I have a pricey rootcanal done and then they wanted to do more work. Must have thought I had 2 grand in my pocket. But they are the best in town, with the best equipment and I suppose it has to be paid for!

Williamstown Dental clinic is where you will find them.

One of the dentists is romanian and he's very good, I got a tricky root canal done by him. For your kids though I'd say go with Philip Christie, he's the nicest dentist I've ever had, he'd put your kids at ease no bother.

comeraghs

Never realised that there were so many dentists in Waterford!!

YoureSoVain

I hadn't gone to the dentist in years and was very nervous....have been going to Richrd O Hara in Ballybricken for about 10 years now and find him to be very good

Anyone tried towndental in canada st?

spookwoman

Used to got to canada street owner years ago he's very good with the needle you dont feel it. I think he specialises in other stuff now. The other chap thats with him tried telling my mum recently she needed loads of work to be done. She went to Kennedy in the Brasscock centre and he basically told her it was bull. I went to Kennedy a few years back and he was very nice. Good music playing in back ground

Fair enough but that was then, has it not changed hands to a smiles now or is it the same practice working under the name town dental?
