Dentist Open on Weekends

At The Dental Suite, Carlow and The Dental Suite, Athy our clinics are open over the weekend. We aim to make it easier for our patients to fit dental care into their busy schedule by being there for them on weekends. Whether you need a routine check-up, emergency treatment, or complex treatment, we are ready to provide the best care when it’s most convenient for you.

The convenience of having dental care available on weekends is important to our patients. Many people work Monday through Friday and simply don’t have the time to fit in dental appointments during the week.

Dentist Open on Saturdays and Sundays

For those with a full-time job, taking time off during the workweek might not always be feasible. With dentists open on Saturdays and Sundays, professionals can book appointments without sacrificing valuable work hours or using their personal days.

 

Families, too, benefit from weekend availability. Weekends make it easier to schedule multiple appointments in one day, meaning parents and children can see the dentist without missing school or work.

General Dentistry and Specialised Treatments

We offer routine cleanings and dental exams on weekends, making it easy to keep up with preventive care without disrupting your weekday routine.

If you need specialised treatments like root canals, crowns & bridges, or orthodontics, our Carlow & Athy clinics provide these services on weekends for our patients’ convenience.

Emergency Dentist in Carlow & Athy

Accidents don’t follow a schedule, and dental emergencies can happen any day of the week. We have an on-call emergency service for our patients.

At The Dental Suite Group, we are fully prepared to handle a wide range of dental emergencies with established protocols in place to ensure swift and effective care. If a patient experiences severe tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, or any other urgent dental issue, we recommend contacting us immediately.

During office hours, we prioritise emergency cases and aim to see patients as soon as possible. For after-hours emergencies, we provide an out-of-hours contact number where patients can reach a member of our team for guidance and support. We understand that dental emergencies can happen at any time, and we are committed to offering prompt and compassionate care, even outside of normal business hours.

Common emergency treatments include managing pain, treating infections, stabilising damaged teeth, and in some cases, providing temporary restorations until a permanent solution can be arranged. Our team is highly trained to handle all types of dental emergencies, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care when they need it most.
