Persistent tooth pain, a missing tooth affecting your confidence, or wisdom teeth causing recurring discomfort – these are the dental problems that bring Dublin residents to seek specialist care. General dentistry handles routine needs, but complex cases like dental implants, oral surgery, orthodontics, and advanced cosmetic dentistry demand a multidisciplinary team with specialist training and diagnostic technology. At College Gate Dental Clinic in Glasnevin, Dublin 9, our specialist team delivers comprehensive care under one roof – so you get the right treatment without delays or referrals across the city.

Why Dublin Chooses College Gate for Specialist Dental Care
Dublin hosts several state-of-the-art dental specialist clinics, but what draws patients to our Glasnevin practice is the combination of genuine specialist expertise, affordability, and convenience – each designed around what actually matters when you need treatment.
One clinic, every specialist you need. Having an implant dentist, a specialist oral surgeon, an orthodontist, and a cosmetic dentistry team in one location means your treatment plan stays coordinated. No waiting weeks for external referrals. In Ireland, specialists must be registered with the Dental Council of Ireland, and our dental professionals meet those standards.
Scheduling that fits Dublin life. We offer evening and weekend appointments so working professionals, parents, and students across Dublin can access specialist care without taking time off. Many dental clinics offer flexible hours for patient convenience – we go further with emergency appointments for acute issues like a dental abscess or trauma.
Transparent costs and payment flexibility. No deposit is required for many treatments, and our dental fees guide lays out costs clearly. Clinics should provide transparent, written cost estimates before treatment, and that’s exactly what we do. With 20% tax relief available on non-routine treatments like dental implants and orthodontics, specialist care is more accessible than many Dublin patients expect.
Modern Glasnevin facility with free parking. Our clinic, refurbished in 2015 with continuous upgrades, features advanced facilities including 3D CT/CBCT scanning for precise diagnostics. Free parking solves one of Dublin’s biggest headaches, and our Ballymun Road location is well connected by public transport.
Our Dublin Dental Specialist Services
We provide a comprehensive range of specialist dental services designed to address the conditions that bring patients to us most often – from replacing missing teeth and straightening smiles to managing complex surgical dentistry and restoring oral health.
Dental Implant Specialists
Dental implants are a trusted solution for missing teeth, offering a permanent replacement that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Our implant dentistry team uses CBCT scanning to assess bone quality, nerve positions, and sinus anatomy before placing titanium implants with precision. Typical Dublin costs for a single implant plus crown range from €1,800 to €3,500, with additional procedures like bone grafts available when needed. Bone graft procedures cost around €400. Whether you need a single tooth replaced or a full-arch solution, we handle the full spectrum of dental implant cases – from planning through to final restoration and ongoing maintenance.
Orthodontic Specialists
Orthodontics focuses on correcting the alignment of teeth and jaws, and our specialist orthodontist treats adults and children with traditional fixed braces, clear braces, and Invisalign clear aligners. Treatment duration typically runs 6–18 months depending on complexity. In Dublin, fixed braces for both arches typically cost €4,500–€5,550, while Invisalign ranges from approximately €3,500 for mild cases to €5,000–€6,500 for complex corrections. The result is improved bite function and a confident, healthy smile – with retainers provided post-treatment to maintain your results long-term.
Oral Surgery Specialists
Our oral surgery team specialises in complex tooth extractions and dental implants, including wisdom teeth removal, surgical extractions, bone grafting, and sinus lifts. Oral surgery specializes in complex tooth extractions and dental implants, requiring advanced training beyond general dentistry. Whether you need four impacted wisdom teeth removed or a single difficult extraction, our team provides safe surgical care with options including local anaesthesia, intravenous sedation, and general anaesthesia where appropriate. Simple tooth extraction costs between €100 and €220, while dental X-rays start from €40. Patients who feel anxious about surgery can explore our pain-free dental appointments approach.
Cosmetic Dentistry Specialists
From porcelain veneers and teeth whitening to composite bonding and full smile makeovers, our cosmetic dentistry specialists focus on natural-looking results. Every case involves careful shade matching and treatment planning so outcomes enhance your appearance without looking artificial. Cosmetic dentistry at our Dublin clinic addresses discolouration, chips, gaps, and uneven teeth – helping patients achieve the smile they want with minimal-prep techniques where possible.
Additional Specialist Services
Endodontics: Endodontics concentrates on saving natural teeth through root canal treatments. Root canal treatment aims to save natural teeth that might otherwise need extraction.
Periodontics: Periodontics focuses on prevention and treatment of gum diseases. Gum disease requires specialized care to manage effectively, and our periodontics and implant specialist provides targeted treatment to protect your oral health.
Prosthodontics: Prosthodontics deals with restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth, including crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Paediatric Dentistry: Paediatric dentistry provides specialized care for infants, children, and adolescents, with behavioural management techniques to build positive early experiences.
How It Works
Specialist dental treatment involves multiple stages, and knowing what to expect helps you make informed decisions. Here’s how the process works at our Dublin clinic.
Step 1: Specialist Consultation
Your first visit includes a thorough assessment with the appropriate specialist. We conduct a comprehensive examination using advanced diagnostics – including CBCT scanning where needed – to understand your condition fully. You receive a clear explanation of recommended procedures, realistic timelines, and a written cost estimate before any treatment begins. Consultation fee for oral surgery starts from €100. Choosing a dental clinic should consider reputation, technology, and treatment plan transparency – and we make sure you have all three from the outset.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment
Your specialist delivers treatment using advanced techniques and modern equipment. Whether it’s implant placement, orthodontic adjustments, or surgical extraction, we monitor progress closely throughout. Sedation options – from local anaesthesia to intravenous sedation – are available to keep you comfortable. Our dental professionals tailor every treatment to your specific clinical needs and personal preferences, ensuring optimal clinical outcomes.
Step 3: Ongoing Care
Follow-up appointments confirm healing, integration (for implants), and results. For orthodontic patients, we provide retention devices and schedule checks to prevent relapse. Our approach to comprehensive care means we maintain a long-term relationship with every patient – from regular dental check-ups and cleaning to any adjustments needed as your oral health evolves over time.

Posted on Google amy nanneryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just finished my Invisalign journey with College Gate Dental and what a great journey it has been. Could not recommend anymore, all the team have been amazing. From the very beginning there was transparency about the process with full cost breakdown provided, educational information with a 3D review of what each aligner progress would look like when treatment plan was followed thoroughly and also the importance of following best practices to avoid any delays in the treatment which I found very informative. After making the decision to start this process it was great to have found a clinic that were fully transparent, that ensured my lifestyle matched my treatment in order for it to work and not just selling a product. They were available to answer any questions over phone, email and in person. Really happy with my results, thank you all!Posted on Google Alison DarcyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most amazing dental practice. These guys make you feel so welcome all of the time. The kids love going to visit them and i went from hating the dentist to looking forward to going in. I have reccomended them to so many people. Keep doing what you are doing cause its wonderful!Posted on Google Kacper JaroszyńskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent practice that accommodates for anxious patients. I have been a patient at College Gate Dental for over 8 months and I’ve had consistently positive experiences - I could not be happier. Doctor Danièle creates an open and relaxed environment while delivering the highest standard of care. Dr. Danièle takes time during every visit to explain procedures, and checks-in on me throughout the visit to ensure my comfort - regardless if it is a short or lengthier, more complex, visit. Her levels of empathy and kindness shine at every step: when explaining the state of my oral health, recommending routines and when planning next treatment steps. Dr. Danièle also takes great care to anticipate, and proactively outline the financial aspects of treatments or recommended products. She ensures that her patients are as comfortable with the next steps as possible. It is fantastic to feel understood and supported - especially as a young adult patient! I’ve received the same level of kindness and care from the hygienist Laura G. who accommodated me during my first and subsequent visits. She clearly explained every step of the way during each visit. I also would like to give a special thanks to the reception staff - especially Eunji. She has always been friendly and welcoming. Booking appointments is a breeze, and I have received great assistance from her in helping me navigate situations related to dental insurance. I arrived anxious for my first visit, and immediately felt welcomed and put at ease. The entire process of getting my dental health back on track and keeping a strong preventive routine has been just as amazing. I never thought I could feel so in control of my oral health, feel relaxed when in the dentist chair, and actually look forward to dentist visits - but thanks to all the amazing practitioners and staff at college gate, it has been the case for months now. I can confidently recommend this practice to anyone who is looking to get fantastic level of dental care.Posted on Google aideen teelingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I truly appreciate your skills and attention.Posted on Google ShaunaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Every visit I’ve had here at College Gate has been fantastic. I’ve never had such good service in a dental practice. I had to have my wisdom tooth removed and also Dr. Deepak Thomas was fantastic. I was terrified as it’s was my first time getting a tooth removed and he knew exactly how to calm me down & had a great experience. Highly recommend!
