    I had a experience from start to finish in Shackleton Clinic. From Louise at the front desk, to Cathy and her staff, I was thrilled with the result. Thank you so much Cathy and all the staff at Shackleton Clinic.
  • Kristy Maclean Hayes
    Called on the 23rd of December for my 5 year old son following a dental accident. The receptionist could not have been nicer to ensure he was seen. The dental team were incredibly freindly and my son felt at ease. He's actually excited to go back šŸ‘.

    Brought my two young, nervous kids to the dentist. We had a very friendly greeting from Louise and then saw Cathy and Daisy at the clinic. It was such a positive experience that put the kids completely at ease. I couldn’t have asked for better. The kids left delighted with themselves. I can’t recommend this clinic enough!
  • Barry G

    I had the most wonderful experience from start to finish in Shackleton Clinic. From Louise at the front desk, to Dr Cathy and her trainees, I was made feel comfortable and well looked after. Dr Cathy listened to what I wanted to do about my dental work, and gave me options to choose from. She knew exactly what I was trying to achieve and I was thrilled with the end result. Thank you so much Dr Cathy and all the team at Shackleton Clinic.

Invisalign and Teeth whitening

This treatment was carried out with very limited in person appointments with the help of @dentalmonitoring . I check the patient virtually every week to allow the patient to have her invisalign treatment carried out under the watchful eye of a dentist but from the convenience of her own home

This patient attended for an Invisalign consultation as she was unhappy with the position and colour of her teeth.

1. There are more bacteria in your mouth than there are people on this earth
2. Your tongue print is as unique as your footprint šŸ‘…
3. Enamel is the hardest thing in your bodyšŸ’Ŗ
4. Most of your tooth is actually below the gum line, you can’t see it!
5. We produce 2 swimming pools of saliva in our lifetime! šŸŠā€ā™€ļø
6. You spend about 38 days of your life brushing your teeth in a lifetime 🪄

A little snippet of the patient’s journey to the dental surgery 🦷 ...

What a transformation!

Another amazing result from @enlightensmiles. Two weeks at home whitening and one in clinic treatment

Say cheese šŸ˜€

A lovely way to finish a busy week. This lady had wear present on her lower teeth and was unhappy with the appearance and I was concerned that this would worsen over time.

After some careful planning with @southerncrossdental_ie we carried out teeth whitening and injection moulded composite bonding and got a lovely cosmetic result with the bonus of protecting the natural tooth structure from further wear šŸŽ‰

The real Boss lady..

Louise is our receptionist, confidant, comedian and everyone’s mammy šŸ˜

Louise came to the practice 9 months ago , sent from heaven at the perfect time when things were changing in the practice. She does not have a dental background but is a quick learner and is dying to get into the surgery with us to try to learn even more.

Louise goes out of her way to accommodate patients and make them feel welcome in a setting that can make some people feel a little nervous 😬
