‘no 8 dental and cosmetic clinic’, Limerick

We all the know the fear of visiting the dentist and having to bear the dreaded drill, but now you might actually begin to look forward to the experience, all because of new dental and cosmetic clinic, 'no.8'!

Situated in the heart of the City, no.8 is a warm, modern, welcoming haven where one’s own pearly whites are more likely to be treated like the ‘crowns’ of kings and queens.

Dr Audrey Hickey is joint partner of no.8. She enthuses that apart from ending the pain and stigma associated with tooth procedures, the clinic also provides a host of non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

“We operate a Fraxel machine, the only one in Limerick and Munster. It’s the next best thing to a facelift without the surgery. It tightens the skin and gives you a real fresh look around the face,” Dr Hickey says.

Not only can you get a non-surgical facelift but no.8 also offers a host of other cosmetic procedures all under one roof, which is most unique in Limerick.

“We also do botox, skin peels and various laser hair removal procedures. We also do a specialised tattoo removal procedure. It is also done by laser, which explodes the pigment of the tattoo and breaks it down until it fades.”

No.8 seems to have boosted dentistry to whole new levels in Limerick too with some of the most up-to-date and pain-free methods of extracting and filling teeth and crowning your smile.

“You can come in, sit back and watch television on flat screens and also have a massage, while your filling is done, which is done by laser and it doesn’t hurt a bit,” Dr Hickey promises.

One can also walk-in off the street and get your teeth cleaned or whitened without having to book long-term appointments too, which adds to the whole “no-delay” ethos.
