Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with crowns to restore natural function and appearance. Our experienced team offers single-tooth replacements, implant-supported bridges, and denture stabilisation. With over 50 years of combined expertise, we ensure long-term success through thorough planning and biocompatible materials.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic treatments include teeth whitening, composite bonding, and porcelain veneers to address discolouration, misalignment, and wear. We use minimally invasive techniques that preserve tooth structure while delivering natural-looking results. Digital smile design allows previewing outcomes before treatment begins.
Family Dentistry
We provide preventive and restorative care for all ages, from children's check-ups to complex adult treatments. Services include routine examinations, fillings, gum disease management, and orthodontics. Our approach focuses on long-term oral health through education and early intervention.
Clear Braces
We offer discreet orthodontic solutions like Six Month Smiles and Inman Aligners for adults seeking teeth straightening. These systems correct alignment issues faster than traditional braces while maintaining aesthetics. Treatment plans are tailored to individual needs and facial structure.
Hygienist Services
Our hygienists specialise in gum disease prevention and stain removal using advanced techniques like Guided Biofilm Therapy. Services include scaling, polishing, dietary analysis, and fluoride applications. Regular hygiene visits help maintain oral health between routine check-ups.

Report
After many years of feeling unhappy with my mal-aligned teeth (despite orthodontic work carried out as a child) I finally decided to get them sorted out once and for all. I found Craigentinny Dental online and, after a brief exchange of emails with the dentist; John Booth, I decided to head along to see what they could do for me. From the beginning John was incredibly patient and took the time to answer all my questions as he explained the various options that were open to me. There was never any pressure and I was encouraged to take the information away and make decisions at my leisure.

Having been very dissatisfied by a large commercial private practice in Edinburgh, I recently moved to this dentist and have been extremely pleased with the service available
I've since had a new patient checkup, hygenist treatment and a small filling and of the half dozen dentists I've seen over the years, I'd rate this practice as one of the best. What amazed me most was that my dentist there, David Kilroy, managed to give me the first entirely pain free dental injection I've ever had (and I've had quite a few having had wisdom teeth removed under a local before
