Testimonials

If you are a patient at Appletree and would like to add your own testimonial we would be delighted to hear from you. See the contact us page.

We have had a lot of treatments over the last few months, including root canal, bridge work, veneers and whitening, and we are really happy with the results, in fact, we cant stop smiling!

From the moment we walked into the surgery, we were made to feel comfortable and at ease, which made the whole experience a positive one.

We were both very happy with the first class service and care we received, and would wholeheartedly recommend Appletree to all our friends.

Many thanks for rejuvenating me via a britesmile session! I am delighted with the results. Quite few people have noticed something about me but have not been able to pinpoint what it is!

Having just retired from playing Gaelic football, I decided it was time to fix my teeth, after the years of knocks that they had gone through. Having lost a tooth and worn a denture for a number of years I decided to go ahead with a tooth implant. I did some research as to what this would cost me in Dublin and found prices to be extremely high. I decided to look into dental costs in Northern Ireland and found that they were significantly lower than in the south.

I decided to look for a dentist in Northern Ireland and that's when I came across Appletree Dental Care in Newry. As I am living and working in Dublin, I found Newry very easy to get to as it just takes over 1 hour on the M1 Motorway. The practice itself is very modern and has a relaxing atmosphere. The waiting time was very small, from what I have experienced with other dentists and I was in and out in no time.

I also found Appletree to be very accommodating as when one of my teeth cracked while eating lunch one morning they took me straight in that evening for emergency treatment.

Overall I was very happy with the treatment that they provide and the saving that I have made. I would definitely recommend Appletree to anybody who is thinking of getting dental treatment.

Appletree was recommended to me by my sister.

Katrina has a great facility, relaxed waiting area, easy parking with patient friendly appointments system.

I found my treatment extremely professional with Katrina taking the time to explain each new procedure I had to have. I always felt comfortable, relaxed and would thoroughly recommend Appletree Dental Care.

As a patient of Appletree Dental Care I find it very comforting and relaxing to go to the dentist. I have had lots of problems with my teeth from a young age and have visited more than my fair share of dentists. I found the staff to be really nice, easy to talk to and put my best interest number one priority. A couple of years ago I would have never been able to recommend a good and friendly dentist and now I am pleased that I can. My boyfriend and his family have also starting going to Appletree on my recommendation. One of the best reasons for going is its competitive rates and position in the centre of Newry. As I'm from Dublin it's a short drive up the M1 and after the dentist I even manage to squeeze in some shopping. An Appletree Dental Care appointment is something I now look forward to and I'm pretty sure not many people out there can say they look forward to a dental appointment.

Replacing the crowns and bridge that had first been done twenty three years ago was a huge deal for me. When the time came for me to do it, I embarked on the project with some zeal and I contacted exactly twenty-one dentists, determined to get the one that would take my smile as seriously as I did.

I am an actress by profession, and my mouth is one of the tools of my trade, so it was of great importance to me that the dentist I chose would take care in my project. It was quite a task. With the best will in the world, twenty three years leaves a legacy, and although I had been relatively conscientious in my dental hygiene, time had receeded the gums from the metal crowns that were the best practice at the time and frankly, my mouth was a mess. Bear in mind that that twenty three years had included my twenties. A decade of experimentation and neglect.

I phoned the various dentists from the yellow pages and took meticulous notes. But in the end, there was only one candidate. Appletree Dental Care.

The reason I went with them (bear in mind this was purely from phone conversations) was the meticulous attention and care of Mairead, Katrina's first base with her customers. What stood out was her kind concern and deep knowledge. Before my first appointment I was fully informed about both procedure and price and felt great confidence and particularly great respect from them.

I knew that I was presenting with quite a job. I required a three unit bridge, three separate crowns and two veneers. In effect, a total re-smile. I had been 'pulling' my smile for years, conscious of the gum recession over dark coloured metal crown bases and a 'short' smile, whereby only the front teeth registered. I had also been avoiding dentists for years after many bad experiences and patronising and (I felt) arrogant dentists.

I live in Dublin, so the trips were, I thought, an expedition. However, it took me an hour and a half to make the trip and I am probably sounding like a ridiculous convert when I say that the trip was more than worth it.

Katrina is an immensely calm and encouraging person. I hope it will strike a chord with other dental patients when I say that at no point in the extensive work she did on my smile did she ever make me feel anything less than a colleague in my own make-over. If she spied anything in my mouth that was unpleasantly telling about my lifestyle she never mentioned it. She spoke only of what we could achieve and also spoke positively about how I had managed my dental hygiene.

Respect is the keyword in how my dental work was managed. Katrina has a flat screen tv on the ceiling which you can watch while you are being worked on, but I watched it little, as I had no desire to be separate from the experience of her dentistry.

Katrina had to remove the crowns and bridgework that were present in my mouth and replace them. This involves, frankly, stripping down the teeth to posts and replacing them with a smile cooked up by her and her technician. I can best say how that was, by telling you that I was operated on by her for three hours at two in the afternoon, and went on to drive to Dublin and perform in a play where I played four different characters, (none of whom can lisp or have a flabby lip) and it was no trouble.

I realise that my positive experience over five visits to Appletree make me sound like a sychophant, but bear in mind how YOU feel after a dentists visit, compare your experience with mine (A rational older human with no axe to grind) and then put the into the mix that Appletree is very reasonably priced, not even taking into account the service that you get, and draw your own conclusion.

For the record, the most common reaction to my new smile has been, 'You look fantastic ... Are you in love?" this I think, because I have been smiling like a Wallace and Gromit character for a while now.

One day I decided that I would like to have my teeth whitened. I looked up the yellow pages and discovered the cosmetic practice of Appletree Dental Care in Newry. I then gave them a call to make an appointment for a consultation. I was very happy with the information that I received so I proceeded to make my one hour appointment for the whitening procedure. The practice offered a friendly and helpful service and the idea of one hour giving beautifully white teeth certainly appealed. I did experience a little sensitivity but I definitely would recommend Appletree Dental Care to anyone considering tooth whitening. A useful part of the procedure is the taking of before and after pictures which allow you to make a comparison of the change in tooth colour. The staff are so helpful, I must say it was money well spent.
