Blackrock Dental Surgery
Located in the scenic Blackrock Village, just south of Dundalk, Blackrock Dental Surgery offers a premier, private dental practice dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered care. Established in 2007 by Principal Dentist Dr. Tom Rodgers, the practice has grown into a trusted local hub for comprehensive oral health, supported by a team of experienced associate dentists including Dr. Annie O’Connell, Dr. Emma McCullagh, and Dr. Faye Rice, alongside hygienist Gemma Browne. The surgery is situated on the first floor of the Blackrock Village Centre, offering patients a relaxing panoramic view of the village and Dundalk Bay.
Our clinical team is committed to delivering exceptional dental treatment using the latest digital technology, including digital radiographs and intra-oral scanning. We provide a full spectrum of services, from routine check-ups, tooth-colored fillings, and root canal treatments to advanced cosmetic procedures such as dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and professional tooth whitening. Additionally, we have expanded our orthodontic services under Dr. Faye Rice, offering both fixed braces and clear aligners for patients seeking straighter teeth.
We understand that visiting the dentist can be daunting, which is why we pride ourselves on creating a friendly and reassuring atmosphere. We specialize in caring for nervous patients and have extensive experience treating children. Our approach emphasizes long-term oral health partnerships, ensuring you receive the most appropriate treatment in a comfortable environment.

Fantastic experience: By far the best dentist. Dr Tom and his assistant are amazing. If a nervous patient they make you feel so relaxed and explain everything to you they really care and so helpful . I would highly recommend this practice and the receptionists are lovely here too.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend these guys for your dental treatment. Over an 8 month period I had alot of work done to my mouth and the results are truly incredible. I never thought it would be as good as it turned out. All the staff are amazing & their professionalism is unrivalled which goes a huge way to ease any nerves associated with a dental visit. A special shout out to Gemma the hygienist, Sarah & all the dental nurses who are amazing & all the lovely staff on reception. Joe Mc Enhill is a master at his craft but the star of the show has to be the main man himself Tom Rodgers (The Magician). Thank you Tom & all the amazing team you have there for all the amazing work you all did for me. I am forever grateful. Tom
Fantastic experience: Just out of an emergency appointment with Emma. I can’t thank her & her assistant enough. I have a chronic fear of the dentist & always go under anaesthetic for dental appointments. However, I am 39 weeks pregnant & this wasn’t an option for me. Emma couldn’t have been more understanding of my genuine fear & together she got me through a filling! Thank you for your kindness Emma!
Negative experience: After so many years of being a client, with no problems with the service before, I'm very disappointed that I couldn't get an appointment to the dental hygienist. I had to see a dental doctor first, but I didn't want and can't at this moment. It is very strange that I couldn't get an appointment to the hygienist straight away.
Hi Vaida. Medico-legally you cannot see the hygienist unless a dentist has performed a clinical examination in the last year. The hygienist can only work under the presciption of a registered dentist under law. I hope this explains why a dental examination is required before a hygienist visit if a patient hasn't had one in the last year.
Fantastic experience: I called to be seen as an emergency patient and I was seen the very next day. Dr Emma McCullagh was fantastic, she explained at every step what she was going to do and made me feel much more relaxed in what was a very nervous situation for me. The following day I received a call from the surgery to check how I was, which was a lovely touch. Thanks so much for the great care. I would absolutely recommend this dental surgery to anyone looking for excellent dental care
Thank you for that great feedback Jean. We always endeavour to get emergencies in as soon as possible.
Fantastic experience: I had never gone to a dentist in years and broke a tooth was in pain I got a last minute appointment the girl at reception was really helpful.I was very nervous but the dentist was lovely and reassured me got my tooth sorted got a phone call a few days later to see how I felt and I had no more pain .Would definitely recommend blackrock dental clinic .
Thank you Sonya. That's great to hear you were pleased with your treatment and follow up care at Blackrock Dental Surgery
Fantastic experience: I have been going here for years (this is the only dentist I have ever returned to. I’ve had bad experiences when I was young) and to say they are amazing is an understatement! Tom thank you so much for your patience with me. Grainne & staff are amazing on the desk also. They even call to check how you are a few days later! I was in a lot of pain and she got me an emergency appointment. I can not recommend them enough! I’m afraid of my life of going but they always make me feel at ease and fully explain everything! For anyone who is nervous or worried they are by far the best
Thank You Daniel. We are delighted you are happy with our services.
Negative experience: Customer for many years and all was good. My wife received many treatments last year. But, .... wife had extremely bad pain last week and she went to see a doctor as an emergency. Now we know it was an issue with root canals and she had a really bad infection that had to be treated immediately........ The girl at reception even didn't ask the doctor but just compliant instead that she was at work from 7. Yes, this was so bad for her as the poor lady started work at 7. No more comments here. disgrace I wish I could give you 0 stars.
Fantastic experience: I like the fact that the dentist rang me at the end of the working day and some days after the procedure, they called me to ask how I was getting on.
thank you for tour feedback Hugo and delighted you are happy with our patient care and after-treatment follow up.
Fantastic experience: The staff is so nice and professional. The receptionist Grainne is so helpful and friendly, helps me the best she can every time.
Thank you for the positive feedback Rocksana and its great to hear you had a great experience with our team.
Fantastic experience: Such a caring, lovely and professional staff. Thank you for looking after me!
Fantastic experience: Firstly from some who had a very bad experience as a child with a dentist I would absolutely dread going. However over the last year I had a root canal and 2 fillings with Tom. He is an excellent dentist and would highly recommend him. He is also brilliant with kids. All of the team there are friendly and professional. It's the only dentist I would ever consider going too in the future.
That's great to hear you were pleased with the level of service and care at the practice from the whole team
Fantastic experience: By far the best dentist I've ever been too. Also my girls have no issues going either as Tom is so professional and caring when it comes to kids.
Fantastic experience: Been to alot of dentists in my life,Gonzalo best by far mile.plus staff are friendly also.
Negative experience: I have had 4 injections to fix one tooth, then my opposite tooth was drilled to finish the treatment till I was in pain. Doctor has several times put dental tools on my chest like it was a tool holder. Very dissatisfied and disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Great and really caring professionals! I couldn't be more happy and reassured.
Fantastic experience: I have been a client for years and I can say the service is great and Gonzalo is an outstanding professional. If you try this clinic you won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: I just got 2 extractions done with Gonzalo today. I have to say I was very happy with the service. I was very nervous getting it done but he reassured me and he really put me at ease throughout the whole procedure. I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Not only my appointment was pushed earlier to accommodate the urgency, but the whole attention Dr Laura gave to my problem was so professional and caring that it really deserves mention. I would confidently recommend Blackrock Dental Surgery to every patient, with every problem or issue. Many thanks Dr Laura.
Fantastic experience: Great dentistry service. Quality care and aftercare from Tom and the brilliant team! Highly recommended.
