I was with Dr Shahin Naji Esfahani for the past few months, as a very nervous patient I was felt very assured and put at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Shahin and his team of lovely colleagues.

Had a very positive experience this morning getting my teeth cleaned, the staff were so welcoming and friendly and the dental clean was the most easy and least painful clean I’ve ever had! Will absolutely be returning

Shauna Egan
As someone who avoided dentists for years after having bad experiences in the past, I couldn’t recommend Dental excellence Athlone more highly. I’ve had orthodontic work here, regular hygienist visits and today I had my first filling which was quick and totally painless. I was made feel at ease as always by Dr. Shahin Naji who is a master of his trade. 5 star service for me each time.

I have recently joined this Dental practice, my experience so far has been excellent.

Very disappointed here. After an annual cleaning and check up appointment I felt I would have been better if I had bought a new toothbrush and my teeth would have been better cleaned. I aLao asked them to check a tooth that was paining. They said it was okay. Six weeks later I ended up at a different dentist who confirmed I needed a filling. I think this company has a very, very long way to go before they reach excellence.
Gwen Reaney
I was looked after very well. All staff were courteous and helpful. Look forward to my future appointments. nothings too much trouble for them. They resolved all of my queries efficiently and compassionately. Would recommend dental excellence to anyone who wants a professional and reassuring service.

Great services and I am happy to be patient of this clinic.
Mairead Kelly
Very disappointing. I had consultation with a dentist in October where I needed two crowns to be fitted to root canals. Appointments made for December for prep and January for fitting. I phoned few days before Dec app to see how much I needed to bring with me as they are quite expensive and was told at consultation I wouldn’t need to pay in full at the first app. I was told there was no app for me in December. She said she would investigate and come back to me, still waiting, 6 weeks later. Will give my money to a private local dentist.. they don’t care about customer service when no effort to fix their mistake and made it sound like I was imagining the appointment even though I had the consult quote with appointments date and time written by their receptionist. Don’t waste your time making an appointment.
Ciara Nevin
Very nice and professional. Went the extra mile when I told them of past experiences and how nervous I was coming in. Would definitely return and recommend to nervous patients
Liam Hughes
A great service with great staff, what else could you ask for… 🙂
Joseph Day
Very friendly and very professional service would highly recommend.
John Hoey
Excellent service with highly professional staff. My previous dentist took 10 minutes to do a scale and polish. At Dental Excellence it was 40 minutes, followed by a consultation and discussion about my oral health. In a country infamous for bad dental services, it was a refreshing change.
Conor Davis
Great service seen to quick very friendly and helpful
Sean Downey
They think there the turkey of Ireland will make you wait long waiting times and when you get a appointment they send you a email 24 hours before the appointment and if you don’t answer your email they cancel your appointment a joke of a place no service decency to ring clients when they don’t get a response for there ETA. Don’t use this place the receptionist might as well be on there social media’s for the day before they don’t care about there jobs
Jessica Mccallon
Fantastic dentist. By far the best in town.
Rachel Dillon
Got my braces done here last year. Had absolutely no issues until now. I needed to get a new plastic retainer a few months ago as mine broke at home, I had wrapped up the impressions very well and sent them by post to get the retainers, when my impression was sent back by post it was broke in half. I rang to also ask about the other impression to find they broke it while making my new retainer. They said they would cover the impression and retainer for the bottom teeth and took absolutely no responsibility for breaking the top one and were expecting me to pay €115 for a new top impression and €70 for the bottom retainer. Bare in mind I recommended two friends to this dental practice in which one is paying over €3000 for her braces and also recommended to a friend which went and got a consultation for composite bonding here. I rang 3 dental in Galway and they are doing top and bottom impressions and retainers for €120 which is half the price of here. I will not recommend anyone to go here again after this appalling service and taking no accountability for them breaking the impressions. Avoid at all costs.
Fiona Jackson
I found the entire experience as comfortable as coming home to an old friend, extraordinary staff care and consideration, very delighted they are my dentist .
Damien Caulfield
My daughter was seen to by the dentist here last week. She is in severe pain with one of her teeth. The dentist gave her a prescription. The medication she was percribed did not work. She had to visit MIDOC twice over the weekend. She was given morphine to releave the pain it was that severe. She called today to see if there was any way the dentist could see her in an emergency. I also called and explained this was an emergency. Told no appointment available not even for a girl suffering in severe pain! Dentists are duty bound like doctors to care for people in emergency! Neither my self or my extended family will be using this dental practice ever again! Absolutely Disgraceful! I will also be making a formal complaint to the Dentistry Board of Ireland!
Christina Lawless
