Absolutely excellent service! I was able to get a last-minute appointment, and everyone at the clinic was incredibly attentive. Special shout-out to Dr. Bogdan, who showed genuine care, took the time to explain everything clearly, and guided me through the whole process with flexibility and compassion.

Pablo at the front desk was a delight—friendly, helpful, and made scheduling appointments easy while providing all the information I needed.

I’ll definitely be coming back anytime I need a dentist in Dublin. Highly recommended!

I was there recently, and I can’t recommend it enough. I am a very nervous patient, but the dentist was very good and explained everything I needed. The reception staff was very helpful and cheerful.
Sinead G.
I was in recently for a cleaning and check up and I was very impressed with the service and care,
Fran and Emma on reception were wonderful and made me feel very reassured, as I do have a fear of dentists, they looked after me so well I felt like I was in good hands with them.
Dr. Bogdan was who I had my appointment with and again he was so reassuring and helped me feel calm and took great care of me. Over all my experience was fantastic and I can’t thank the staff enough for looking after me so well, I walked out smiling instead of shaking. Thank you Fran, Emma, and Dr. Bogdan, I will be back again because of you.
Jevgenijs B.

Just updating my previous review: Today I had my latest cleaning and was delighted with the results. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bogdan Florea for about 8 years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. He is incredibly meticulous and thorough, always ensuring everything is done to the highest standard possible. He’s transparent about treatment options, only suggesting what’s necessary for my dental health. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dentist.

——————————————————————————-

So, I needed a root canal on a molar. A tricky exercise – but I need not have worried. I struck gold with Dr Bogdan who worked so hard to save my tooth. Meticulous, tenacious and determined – nothing was too much trouble for Dr Bogdan. This was service delivery on a exemplary scale.

Add to this super friendly reception staff and super friendly dental assistants …. and u have a stellar combination.

In age when service delivery is generally so poor, I was really delighted with my experience with Smiles Bath Avenue and I would be more than happy to recommend them without hesitation ………. and Dr Bogdan in particular.

Really pleased with the service here .. staff were friendly and helpful.. I was in and out in no time , and my teeth are literally sparkling 😊
Diora S.
I was a patient for a few years at Smile Dental at Bath Avenu Balbriggan I had my brace done here, implants and I had a lot of fillings done as well.
People who know me would feel I am a very fussy patient 😁
So, since I met Dr Oana Maria Ursache there I couldn’t be happier that I finally found a dentist whom I trust a 100%.
So professional!! I might even say perfectionist with what she is doing. Great and honest advisor on how best to care for my teeth and such a lovely person!
Highly recommend this dentist because SHE IS THE BEST DENTIST I’VE EVER HAD 😍
Angeles H.
It’s been a long time since I went to the dentist and I was afraid. After seeing Dr. Luis Suárez, I can honestly say it has been an extremely positive experience. Highly recommended. If you need implants, he is the guy to see!
Louise M.
Finally at my last appointment today with the great staff at smiles dental. Over the last 3 years, I have had dental surgery, orthodontic work and placement of an implant. All I can say is thank you. The service, the treatment plan, all of my dentists working together to get the best outcome for me has been just amazing Big shout out to Luis, Eduardo and Donna who have been with me since day 1. During Covid lockdowns they were the only human connection I had to the world. They have been on this journey with me and I will be forever grateful. Dental work can be daunting but if you are thinking of it, take the first step , make the appointment, it may be a long road, but one worth smiling about at the end. Thanks all.
Dr. Gerard M.
Great service. Bogdan is the biz!
Leonardo G.
Thanks to Dr Bodgan for the great service !
All the team was nice and friendly but specially the brilliant Alfredo was 100% supporting during the treatment! Delighted with the service and quality.

I had not been to dentist since before covid and was long over due a visit even back then. I had to face my fear, neglect and embarrassment regarding the poor state of my gums. Dr. Florea of smiles Dental Bath Avenue, together with his assistants and helpful reception staff, ( Fran and colleagues ) all were supremely professional in how they dealt with my issue and how I presented myself to the clinic as a nervous patient. In addition, Dr Florea exercised a level of skill in his knowledge, understanding, taking time to listen to my concerns and not making me feel negative about my issue, which I never expected to receive or had experienced before, given the condition of my inflammation of gums .He did what he had to do in a positive manner without my ending up feeling dread. He cleaned and scaled away the build up of tartar below gum lines for every tooth with absolute precision using equipment with a skill that was more than impressive. I felt zero pain except for a tiny pinch for a millisecond which was unavoidable due to level of inflammation of my gums. It was a most remarkable treatment carried out with superior care. The past week since my visit there is no more bleeding of gums whatsoever when I brush and my gums are noticeably more pink and firm in condition. Immediate difference and no after pain at all. I cannot overstate how this has made me feel on a personal level and how it has boosted my confidence again. I am very grateful for what was a powerfully first class service. Dr Florea and his staff are a most valuable asset not just to Smiles Dental but to the entire Dental profession we are lucky to have available in Ireland. I have a follow up in six months and an in between referral to ensure continued treatment however I am confident I am getting the best treatment possible for the best outcome. I am already seeing the benefits. That is so much appreciated for which my thanks will endure always.

Excellent orthodontic treatment, easy payments arrangement facilitated as well. Thank you Salma and team in Blanchardstown

Visited Smiles yesterday and another great treatment I have received there. The clinic is very neat and clean lovely reception and staff.
Finally i can smile again without shame .my teeth are well looked after here! Thanks guys!!!
Phil M.
I already reviewed this practice but didn’t add the ** so here I go again – a very brief version!! The best dental clinic I have ever visited. Implants, cleaning and check-ups to an impending extraction (normally I wld be petrified of same) but not when I’m having it done with this highly professional and caring practice. For me Smiles is 10 out of 10. Well done to all the staff there 🙂

Just want to add to this review following my last couple of appointments. I can’t speak highly enough of this practice from the reception staff (mostly dealt with Fran) who is friendly, super efficient and professional. Dr Luis Swarez is an exceptional surgeon and I felt so comfortable and at ease in his care. It was such a pleasure to deal with him. Dr Maria also did 3 composite fillings for me and they feel like “new teeth”. I would highly recommend this clinic on every level. 🙂👏👏
Lorna O.
Had some composite bonding done with Dr. Marie , I am extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend her.
Arthur F.
Clean environment, friendly staff and I highly recommend Dr. Eduardo

I attended here last Wednesday morning and what can I say – “”HIGHLY RECOMMENDED””

Always look for Dr Oana Maria Ursache.
She is by far the best.
She looks after her patients extremely well and is always very calm.
I would highly recommend booking an appointment with her.
A special thanks once again Dr Oana Maria.

Simply superb! Dr Luis and Dr Bogdan are absolute gentlemen. I am a very nervous patient due to my super sensitive teeth. But once I had Bogdan treat me, my nerves dissolved. He is the most patient, gentle and effective dentist. He kept checking back in with me and never pushing through to finish up but always making sure that I was comfortable with the amount of pressure. It took 5 other dental practices to find this level of empathy and skill. I am never going anywhere else. It’s a really beautiful, uplifting space too.

I have used the dentist on Bath Avenue a few years ago before it was Smiles. I have had a lot of experience with dentists, and have had a couple teeth removed in the past so I have experience in that area also.
Dr Luis Suarez was excellent as an oral surgeon.
He was calm and reassuring and talked through each of the processes he was doing to extract the wisdom tooth. He gave me enough Novocaine so I was pain free during the procedure so I didn’t feel any discomfort.
Dr Suarez did everything right, and my tooth was out in a very short time and I was done. I was delighted!!!
The price for the extraction was very reasonable also, and I do have a lot of dentist visits in my life to compare. I would definitely use them again, and have, Talk to them if you have any questions or concerns as I found them very helpful.
