Caring for all your family’s dental needs.
AJ Dental for all your family’s dental needs.

To shape the future of community dentistry by becoming a trusted, lifelong partner in oral health for every family we serve. We envision AJ Dental as a place where innovation and compassion work hand in hand — a clinic that grows with our community, leads with integrity, and continually raises the standard of patient‑centred care. Our goal is to build a legacy of healthier smiles, stronger confidence, and lasting relationships that extend far beyond the dental chair.

Our mission is to provide exceptional dental care rooted in trust, compassion, and genuine human connection. As a husband‑and‑wife team, we are dedicated to creating a clinic where every patient feels welcomed, understood, and supported.

Service
what do we offer
Discover all the incredible, wonderfully diverse, and absolutely unique things we offer just for you and your individual needs, carefully tailored to enhance your overall experience and truly fulfill your deepest desires, ensuring that every aspect of your journey with us is exceptional and memorable!
Teeth Cleaning
During a routine Scale and Polish at AJ Dental Dental, your hygienist will thoroughly clean all deposits and stains from teeth. They will scale away tartar build-up from tooth surfaces and polish your teeth using special dental instruments. You can feel tartar build up on the backs of your teeth with your tongue. After a professional clean, you will be able to feel ridges and valleys between each tooth. You will also get an extra-squeaky clean feeling afterwards.
General Dentistry
General dentistry encompasses a wide range of dental services aimed at maintaining oral health and hygiene. It focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various dental issues, ensuring patients achieve and maintain optimal oral function. Through routine exams, cleanings, and restorative procedures, general dentists play a crucial role in enhancing the overall health and appearance of patients' smiles.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws.
Specialist Dentistry
Specialized dental care tailored to meet your unique needs, promoting comprehensive oral health and overall wellness for a brighter smile and healthier life.
Children’s Dentistry
At our Children's Dentistry practice, we believe that every child deserves a positive and comfortable dental experience. Our team of dedicated professionals is specially trained to work with young patients, ensuring that they feel safe and at ease during their visits. We prioritize building trust with each child, making oral health fun and engaging. With a gentle approach and a child-friendly environment, we provide essential dental care, from routine check-ups to preventive treatments, all tailored to meet the unique needs of your little ones. Our goal is to foster lifelong healthy habits, helping children understand the importance of taking care of their teeth while making their visits enjoyable.
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While it may sound intimidating, it is often necessary for various reasons, such as severe decay, infection, or overcrowding in the mouth. The procedure aims to alleviate pain, prevent further complications, and promote overall oral health. After the extraction, patients can benefit from a comprehensive recovery plan that includes proper care and follow-up to ensure healing and maintain optimal dental hygiene. Whether you're facing a simple extraction or a more complex surgical one, understanding the process can help ease any concerns you may have.
Nervous Patients Info
At our clinic, we prioritize the comfort and wellbeing of all patients, especially those experiencing anxiety. We fully understand that visiting a healthcare facility can be a stressful experience for many, which is why we are dedicated to providing a warm and supportive environment. Our professional team is committed to delivering personalized care that is meticulously tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that you feel at ease throughout your entire visit. With a focus on empathy and understanding, we strive to create a safe space where you can express your concerns and receive the high-quality attention you deserve.
Medicine
The field of medicine plays a crucial role in improving and maintaining the health of individuals and populations. Its practices and applications are grounded in scientific research and clinical evidence, aiming to prevent, diagnose, and treat various medical conditions effectively.
Routine Dental Exam
Please take a moment to schedule an appointment for a Routine Dental Examination at your earliest convenience to ensure your oral health is properly maintained and monitored.

Dr. Tudor Sterpu & Dr. Roxana Sterpu
Founder & Owner of AJ Dental Ireland
AJ Dental
AJ Dental began with a shared vision: to create a dental clinic where patients feel genuinely cared for, understood, and supported at every stage of their oral health journey. That vision belongs to Dr. Tudor Sterpu and Roxana Sterpu, a husband‑and‑wife team who combined their expertise, dedication, and values to build a practice centred on trust, compassion, and excellence.
Their journey started long before AJ Dental opened its doors. Together, Tudor and Roxana spent years refining their approach to patient care — one that prioritises clarity, comfort, and long‑term wellbeing over quick fixes. They wanted a clinic where every patient feels like a person, not a number; where questions are welcomed, fears are eased, and treatment plans are tailored with honesty and respect.
When they established AJ Dental in Marino, Dublin 3, they set out to create more than a modern dental practice. They built a calm, welcoming space where families, professionals, and patients of all ages could receive high‑quality care in an environment that feels reassuring and personal. Their family‑run approach shapes everything they do — from the warm atmosphere to the continuity of care patients experience over time.
Today, AJ Dental continues to grow, but its foundation remains the same: a commitment to integrity, patient comfort, and the belief that a healthy smile can change how you feel every day. Tudor and Roxana are proud to serve their community and to welcome each patient into the story they’ve been building together.

FAQ
Frequently Ask Questions

We recommend arriving 10 minutes early for your first appointment at AJ Dental. This gives you enough time to:
Complete any remaining forms
Update your medical history
Settle in before your examination
Ask any questions you may have
Arriving a little early helps us start your appointment on time and ensures your first visit feels relaxed and stress‑free.
If you have been advised by your doctor or specialist to take premedication before dental treatment, please let our team know before your appointment. This helps us prepare properly and ensure your visit is safe and comfortable.
You should:
- Inform us of the type of premedication you need
- Bring any instructions provided by your GP or consultant
- Share a list of your current medications
- Take the premedication exactly as prescribed, unless your doctor advises otherwise
If you’re unsure whether you need premedication, we recommend checking with your doctor first. Our team is always here to guide you and coordinate your care so your treatment at AJ Dental is smooth and stress‑free.
To help us make your first visit smooth and efficient, please bring:
- A valid photo ID
- Your medical history or any relevant medical documents
- A list of your current medications
- Your PPS number (if applicable)
- Any dental X‑rays taken within the last 12 months (if you have them)
- Your insurance details if you plan to claim through dental insurance
- Your referral letter (if another dentist or doctor referred you)
If you’re unsure about anything, just let us know — our team is always happy to guide you and make your first visit as comfortable as possible.
Your first appointment at AJ Dental typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. This gives our team enough time to:
- Review your medical and dental history
- Carry out a full dental examination
- Take X‑rays if needed
- Discuss any concerns or goals you may have
- Create a personalised treatment plan
If you require additional assessments or have more complex concerns, your visit may take a little longer. Our goal is to give you the time and attention you need so your first experience with us feels relaxed, thorough, and unrushed.
Regular dental visits are essential for keeping your mouth healthy and preventing problems before they become painful or expensive to treat. Even if your teeth feel fine, many issues develop quietly and can only be detected early by a dentist.
Routine check‑ups help with:
- Early detection of cavities, gum disease, and infections
- Professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar you can’t reach at home
- Monitoring changes in your teeth, gums, and overall oral health
- Preventing bigger problems, such as tooth loss or complex treatments
- Keeping your smile bright and healthy with personalised advice
Most patients benefit from a visit every six months, but your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your individual needs.
Regular care keeps your mouth healthy, your smile confident, and your treatments simple and affordable.
Preventing cavities is a combination of good daily habits and regular professional care. Small changes make a big difference in keeping your teeth strong and healthy.
You can reduce your risk of cavities by:
- Brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
- Flossing daily to remove plaque between the teeth
- Limiting sugary snacks and drinks, especially between meals
- Drinking plenty of water, ideally fluoridated
- Using mouthwash if recommended by your dentist
- Visiting AJ Dental regularly for check‑ups and professional cleanings
Considering fluoride treatments or sealants if advised by your dentist
Consistent care helps prevent decay, protects your enamel, and keeps your smile healthy for the long term.
