Our Northside Dental Services
Patients across the northside come to College Gate Dental Clinic for a wide range of dental needs. Whether you’re looking for preventive care, want to improve the appearance of your smile, or need urgent help with pain or trauma, the clinic provides professional service tailored to each patient’s situation.
General Dentistry
General dentistry covers the essential care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy: dental check-ups, scale and polish with a dental hygienist, fillings, simple extractions, and root canal treatment. It’s for everyone – families, individuals, and people who haven’t visited a dentist in years. The result is a strong foundation of oral health, catching problems early before they become expensive or painful.
Cosmetic Dentistry
For northside residents wanting to address staining, chips, gaps, or uneven teeth, cosmetic dentistry offers real, visible results. Services include dental veneers, teeth whitening, and composite bonding. Porcelain veneers in Dublin typically range from €500–€1,000 per tooth depending on material and complexity. Whether it’s a wedding, a new job, or simply wanting to love your smile again, the team will advise on the best approach for your goals.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments at College Gate include traditional braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligner systems like Invisalign. These are suitable for children, teenagers, and adults across the northside who want straighter teeth and an improved bite. In Dublin, Invisalign typically costs €3,500–€6,500, while traditional braces often fall between €2,500–€5,500 depending on case complexity. Treatment time usually runs 12–24 months, with retainers required afterward to maintain results. The team will talk through which option suits your situation during a consultation.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you need a single implant, an implant-supported bridge, or full-arch restoration, implants preserve jawbone and function like natural teeth. In Dublin in 2026, a single implant with crown typically costs €1,800–€3,000, while full-arch All-on-4 treatments range from €6,500–€11,000 depending on materials and additional procedures such as bone grafting. With proper care, implants can last 20 years or more. Non-routine dental treatments in Ireland, including implants, may qualify for a 20% tax credit via Revenue, reducing your net cost.
Emergency Dental Care
Dental emergencies – severe pain, a knocked-out tooth, a broken crown, an abscess – don’t wait for convenient hours. College Gate provides emergency dental appointments with evening and weekend availability for northside residents who need immediate help. The priority is fast pain relief, diagnosis, and stabilisation, with a clear plan for any follow-up surgery or procedure.
Children's Dentistry
Children’s dentistry at College Gate focuses on creating happy, positive early experiences with dental care. Services include paediatric checkups, fluoride application, fissure sealants, and caring management of dental anxiety in young patients. Building good habits early is one of the most effective ways to avoid costly treatment later, and the staff are experienced in making the clinic a place children feel safe – not afraid.
How Your Northside Dental Visit Works
Dental anxiety affects a significant number of people – research published in the Journal of the Irish Dental Association reports that approximately 4% of people suffer dental phobia, while many more experience some degree of nervousness. Knowing exactly what to expect helps set your mind at ease.
Step 1: Book Your Appointment
Call the clinic or book online. The team will confirm your appointment time and provide any preparation instructions. If you have specific questions or concerns – including wisdom teeth issues, anxiety, or urgent pain – let them know when booking so the right time and staff are set aside.
Step 2: Your Dental Assessment
At your visit, the dentist conducts a comprehensive examination including digital X-rays and, where needed, a CBCT scan. They’ll explain their findings, discuss your options, and provide a clear treatment plan with costs – no surprises. This is your opportunity to talk openly about your needs and expectations.
Step 3: Treatment and Follow-up
Once you’re happy with the plan, treatment begins – whether that’s a simple filling on the same day or scheduling a multi-stage procedure like implants or orthodontics. Aftercare instructions are included, and the team will advise on follow-up visits and any warranties on dental work. For pain-free dental appointments, sedation and gentle techniques are available for patients who need extra support.
