At Springhill Clinic, we are proud to offer a unique dental facility that reflects our commitment to excellence in dental care.
The Springhill Clinic is a large multidisciplinary clinic that has been providing top-quality treatment to Kilkenny for many years. Whether it’s general dental care or a cosmetic makeover, let us create your perfect smile.
We use only the most advanced dental techniques and materials available. We will welcome you to our dental practice, where our whole team is committed to providing you with the best treatment possible.
Dr Derek Cashen is the principal dentist at the Springhill Clinic. He is highly experienced and has built the Springhill Clinic into a leading centre of dental care in Kilkenny.
While part of the Clinic is dedicated to the dental treatment centre, there are six other consultants and therapists, which means you can access a broad range of treatment under the one roof.

What we do
Our purpose is to provide you with a unique and comfortable dental experience in a friendly and relaxed environment. Using the latest technologies and techniques, we offer a full spectrum of treatments from routine dentistry to complete cosmetic transformations.
Fees
Please find a list of our current fees here.
A proportion of the cost of some dental treatments can be claimed against tax. Routine dental treatment is not included, but 20% tax relief can be claimed on treatments such as crowns, bridges, root canal treatment and periodontal treatment using a Med 2 tax relief form, which can be endorsed at the dental surgery.
All accounts must be settled on the day of treatment. We accept most methods of payment including cash, cheque, and credit and debit cards.
Oral health
Looking after your oral health is just as important as any other part of your body. Below are some helpful tips that can help ensure you keep your smile for life.
