Support for nervous patients
Anxiety is common and completely understandable. Tell us what has been difficult in the past and we will adapt. We use topical anaesthetic before injections, agree a stop signal, and keep treatment in comfortable stages. If you prefer short visits, we will design your plan around that. If you need extra time to talk through choices, we will set it aside. Our goal is steady progress and predictable appointments that rebuild confidence. Many long-term patients started here as nervous visitors and now attend routine care without worry.
Our Goal is to provide the best dental care for each patient
I’m Kevin, owner and clinical lead at the practice. My responsibility is to ensure every patient receives careful, evidence-based treatment in a safe, respectful setting. We start with a clear diagnosis, explain options in plain language, and agree a plan that suits your goals and budget. Our team follows strict infection control, uses well-researched materials, and reviews outcomes so each case is finished to a high standard. I invest in continuous training and modern equipment where it genuinely improves comfort, accuracy, and longevity. Fees are transparent, appointments run on time, and we follow up after treatment to make sure you are recovering well. If something needs adjustment, we put it right. My aim is simple: consistent quality, honest advice, and results you can trust.

Our family have been using Winning Smile Dental for the best part of 20yrs now and I have to say Kevin and his team over the years have been nothing short of amazing????????.The current premises in Carrigaline are ultra modern and extremely welcoming with top tier staff to match. Our Son Jayden is currently 12 months into orthodontic treatment and what we thought would be an impossible task as he is severely autistic, Kevin and Linda have taken it in their stride,even with the more than normal visits due to little accidents as hes quite sensory to them. His booking team are extremely professional and friendly and always helpful in emergencies ????????.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do you need a dental check up
In most cases we recommend a dental check up twice a year. If we feel like we need to keep a closer eye on you then we may see you more often and similarly if we feel you are very low risk then we may see you once a year.
Only after a dental check up can we advise you of this and give you a personalised plan to ensure long term oral health.
What is the difference between biomimetic dentistry and general dentistry
Biomimetic dentistry is less invasive and uses advanced materials compared to old school general dentistry.
It is derived from looking at how previous dental techniques have failed and uses nature as a blueprint.
What age should a child go to the dentist
We recommend 18m to 2 years old. It means that we can establish good oral hygiene from an early age and offer advice on how to prevent dental decay. Also the earlier the child meets a dentist the less likely they will find it a nerve racking experience. .
How often should a child see a dentist
A child should see the dentist every 6 months. It allows us to ensure growth is exactly where it should be, spot any early dental decay and find the best timing for any aligning of teeth, if the child requires this.
When is a Tooth Filling Needed?
a filling is needed if a tooth has a cavity in it caused by bacteria and decay a filling is simply the removal of decay and damaged tissue from a tooth and placing of a filling material into the cavity that has been cleaned out.the filling replaces the damaged tooth and blocks the hole left behind to prevent irritation of the nerve of the tooth
What is a scale and polish?
A scale and polish is where the bacteria and plaque are removed from the hard surfaces of the teeth using an ultrasonic cleaner, and then the area is polished using an abrasive flavoured paste
It is a routine professional teeth cleaning procedure performed by a dental hygienist or dentist.It is aimed at removing plaque, calculus(tartar) and surface stains from the teeth to help alleviate and prevent gum disease and keep your oral health up to speed
How to treat gum disease?
Gum disease is treated with regular hygiene visits and hygiene advice, and sometimes a sustained course of treatment that may even involve surgery in the gum areas.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common oral health issue that affects millions of people worldwide. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health problems. Fortunately, there are several effective ways to treat gum disease and improve oral health.
First and foremost, practising good oral hygiene is essential for preventing and treating gum disease. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash to help kill bacteria in the mouth. Additionally, regular visits to the dentist for professional cleanings and check-ups are essential for monitoring the health of your gums and teeth.
In more severe cases of gum disease, a deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing may be necessary. This involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smoothing out rough spots on the tooth roots to prevent bacteria from accumulating.
Is teeth whitening safe?
To understand the safety of teeth whitening, it is important to understand how it works. The bleaching trays are custom made to fit the teeth tightly, similarly to a retainer used after orthodontic treatment. This ensures that when the gel is placed into the trays, and then onto the teeth that there is no spillage into the mouth, Once the treatment instructions are followed, the process is very safe.
