I went to him three times with a pain in one of my teeth, I got it fixed by another dentist after that.

Well, don't keep it a secret Offy! Who do you recommend?

I have used Campbell in the past and went to Boland in the past few weeks - Boland was a lot cheaper for the same job.

Have used Fitzgerald since I was a kid, through lots of Dental ups and downs, and found them excellent; I'm now in my thirties.

Please elaborate on your remark Offy.

I too have been going to Fitzgeralds since the free national school visits stopped. Thankfully I've only needed to see them a handful of times in the many years that have past since then, and I cant fault them.

Other people I know have gone to Campbell and Boland with mixed results, none of which were particularly good!

I went to Dr. FitzGerald with a tooth ache three times and each time he drilled it out and put a filling in. On the fourth occasion I went to Dr. Boland (who charged less) and the tooth hasnt bothered me since. That was three years ago now.

I always went to boland, but i personally dont like his manner, and not a fan of his fill it rather than pull it mantra.

Cant recomment Leslie Budda fitzgerald highley enough, very calming.

His daughter however is a different story, she has a better future as a butcher.

I've only ever really used Boland, only problem was it used to be a pain to get an appointment. I'm well overdue a checkup, gonna call round and see if there's much of a waiting list, otherwise may try the crowd in Connaught Street.

If you do try the crowd in Connaught Street let me know what they are like, I need to have a checkup too.

Where is Bolands? Google maps seem to suggest its at the regional sports centre.

He is in Roslevin.
From the Sports Centre, head back towards town, past the White Gates, and its just before the bridge, on the right hand side.

Boland's my dentist. Good dentist, nice man and a real character. As for the dentist in Connaught street personally I wouldn't go back bastards put in black fillings in my teeth. Didn't even think of asking what colour the fillings would be, presumed they'd be white:mad:

pawrick

went to Boland for the first time a few weeks ago - didn't get the man myself.

Had no problem getting an appointment and also I have no reason to complain about the service I received (broken tooth & clean/polish)

I was only charged 30 euro for the clean/polish which beats any other dentist I had. Don't know if it was less because of the repair to the broken tooth though.

Went to the surgery in Connaught Street, very happy with the checkup and filling. Had the opposite experience as you yesno1234, they replaced a broken black filling from another dentist, with a white one :P
