Limerick

Mullane Dental is a family practice in Newcastle West, about 40 minutes' drive from Limerick. These are the questions people from around Limerick most often ask before their first visit. If yours is not here, ring us and we will answer it.

When are you open?

Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. An 8am appointment can let you get back to Limerick for most of the working day.

Can I be seen quickly if I am in pain?

We try to. Phone 069 62703 and tell the receptionist it is urgent; we do our best to see you within 24 hours during opening hours.

What happens at a first appointment?

A full dental health check takes about 30 minutes. The dentist screens your mouth for disease, checks your teeth, gums and bite, and asks how you feel about your smile. If you need treatment, you will get a plan and the costs before it starts. Further appointments are booked in advance, and you can choose reminders by phone, text, email or post.

If you pay PRSI, you are entitled to a free annual oral examination. For other charges, see our fees page; some treatments can be spread over time in instalments.

Can I see a specialist without travelling further?

Often, yes. Dr Shane Mullane, a specialist prosthodontist, is part of our team and limits his work to implants, crowns and veneers. Dr Richard Stokes, our orthodontist, attends on Tuesdays, and Dr John Crotty, a periodontist, visits every four weeks. Your dentist will tell you at your examination whether you would benefit from seeing one of them.

How do I get there, and where do I park?

Take the N21 west from just beyond Patrickswell, past Adare and Rathkeale. Regular bus services also connect Limerick City with Newcastle West. We are at 3 Bishop Street, V42 Y654, in the town centre, with plenty of street parking nearby.
