Testimonials
"
- Gerard , Feb 2016I went to Maria to see if I was able to get invisible braces. From the start they were very friendly. They told me the plan to go with which would suit me best. I was always shy about my smile because of my teeth and used to hide my smile with my hand. Now the first thing I greet people with is a smile. Really has made me more confident, without the torture you’d think you’d have going to the dentist.

- Owen , Feb 2016From start to finish the professionalism of Maria Byrne’s practice has outdone itself. I was made feel very at ease the minute I walked in the door. It was a pleasure to go there for treatment. As for my teeth, I couldn’t be happier. They were done in no time and the outcome was great. I would recommend Maria Byrne’s practice to anyone. Great work guys and thanks again!

- Aoife , Feb 2016I was always self conscious about my teeth and always wanted to get them done. When I heard of Invisalign I knew it was for me. Maria gave me outstanding treatment and guided me the whole way through. It has been the best money I ever spent. I am super confident now and can’t stop smiling!
