Mobile dentist in Kildare
Two bases in the county — Kildare Town and Maynooth — so visits across Kildare, and into Laois, Offaly, Meath and Westmeath, set out from close by.
The plan is agreed at the kitchen table, not in a waiting room.
County Kildare has a large number of nursing and residential homes for its size, many of them well outside the towns, and a generation of families who moved to the commuter belt and now have parents who cannot easily travel back to a clinic. Our Kildare Town and Maynooth bases were opened with both in mind.
From them we cover the whole county and the neighbouring midlands — a visit to Portlaoise, Tullamore, Trim or Mullingar sets out from Kildare. Clinic days for nursing homes across the county are a regular part of the rota.

Questions from Kildare
If your question is not answered here, please give us a call — it is quicker than a form.
Do you come out to rural addresses in Kildare?
Yes. An Eircode is all we need. Travel distance affects the cost of the visit, which we tell you on the phone, but never whether we come.
Can you see two neighbours on the same visit?
Yes, and it makes the visit cheaper for both. Tell us when you phone and we will plan the day that way.
Which Credit Union do you work with in Kildare?
Humm instalments are available anywhere; for Credit Union loans we work with the branches listed on the cost page, and any local Credit Union can be used for a private treatment plan.
What a visit costs
Cost depends on where the patient is, how many people we are seeing and what treatment turns out to be needed. We give you the likely range on the first phone call — nothing is booked until you have heard it — and a written quote with every cost on it before any treatment begins.
What changes the cost
- Where the patient is, and how far the team travels to get there
- How many people we are seeing on that visit — a care home with twelve residents is not a single house call
- What the examination finds, and which treatment turns out to be needed
- Whether the patient is covered by a Medical Card or PRSI, which we check before anyone is booked
Ways it is paid for
- HSE Medical Card
- Many treatments are covered under the Dental Treatment Services Scheme for eligible medical card holders. Call-out fees are not covered. We check eligibility before the appointment, not after.
- PRSI
- PRSI-covered patients, including the self-employed, are entitled to a free examination each year and a subsidised scale and polish. We check entitlement and claim it for you.
- Tax relief
- 20% tax relief is available on non-routine dental treatment. We complete the Med 2 form for you.
- Humm
- The cost of higher-value treatment, such as a full set of dentures, can be spread in monthly instalments through Humm.
- Credit Union
- We work with St Canice's, Progressive (Balbriggan) and Capital (Sundrive) Credit Unions, and many families find a Credit Union loan the simplest route.
