After avoiding the dentist for many years, a family member recommended Cronin Dental to me, and I have been going back every six months ever since. There is no pain with the gel David uses, and he and the team really put you immediately at ease. It helps that himself and the team are good craic too. I cannot recommend Cronin Dental enough.

As someone who was not too fond of visiting the dentist, David and all the team at Cronin Dental have been fantastic in making it a much more comfortable experience. I have needed to get a few different things done and each time David has ensured that the process was pain free. Highly recommend.

I had a fantastic experience at Cronin Dental, Cork. At the time, I was to have my wedding in 6 months and spoke with Dr. Cronin in relation to invisalign. He talked me through everything thoroughly and attentively, the end result was fantastic and it really only took just over 4 months. With invisalign you only have to get through the first week of discomfort after that it's plain sailing. Would highly recommend both invisalign and Dr. Cronin is professional and sound, great, friendly staff too.

I began my Invisalign journey with David about a year and a half ago having previously been told by another orthodontist that I would be unable to go through the Invisalign treatment process and that my only option was to go into a twin-block appliance to correct the position of my jaw and then afterwards, into traditional “train-track” braces which I was told would take about 2-3 years to complete. I was not very keen on this at all and so we sought out a consultation with another orthodontist and that was how we found David. From the moment I met him during my consultation, I knew I was in good hands. When I asked about the Invisalign process, David thoroughly explained it to myself and my mom then proceeded to take a loon at my teeth to see what treatment plan would best suit me. He then gave me the option of another appliance known as a mandibular advancement which is essentially an Invisalign tray with two small wings attached to the backs of both the top and bottom trays. This was a much tidier and more comfortable option than the twin-blocks and I was on board immediately. I went into this appliance and wore it for roughly the first half of my treatment plan and then switched over to the regular Invisalign trays for the remainder of the process (in total this took about a year and a half, if not less). I never had any major issues, but any little concerns I had were dealt with in a very caring and professional manner. Each check-up with David and his wife/assistant Kate, were something I was able to look forward to as the whole team have been so friendly and understanding since the very beginning. Any questions I had were answered properly, no matter how silly I thought the question may have been and I never felt anxious to inquire about anything. Before Cronin Dental, I never liked going to the dentist and would put it off as much as possible, however now I find myself wondering when I’ll get to go back for my routine check-ups/cleanings as I just enjoy the company of the truly wonderful team so much. For anyone looking into Invisalign, I highly recommend this place, you are guaranteed to leave a happy client no matter how old or young you are.

I Decided to change my dentist recently and came across Cronin Dental in Ballincollig. I went in for a simple check to see what it was like and absolutely delighted I did! I got Invisalign done, the results were incredible and step by step information was constantly given to me when needed making the whole experience very easy. Any time I rang or came in to the clinic it was relaxed and welcoming. The staff have definitely caused me to become a lot less stressed about going to the dentist which is a massive bonus.
