Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with crowns for natural function and aesthetics. Our specialists use advanced imaging and guided surgery to ensure precise placement. Patients benefit from restored chewing ability, improved speech, and enhanced facial structure, with long-term durability exceeding traditional dentures.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening addresses discolouration through custom trays and medical-grade bleaching agents. We offer tailored programmes for gradual or accelerated results, with sensitivity-minimising formulas. Patients achieve visibly brighter smiles in 2-4 weeks, complemented by maintenance plans to sustain results against dietary and age-related staining.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using removable, transparent aligners with no metal brackets or wires. Digital scans create custom treatment plans, with aligners changed every two weeks. Patients enjoy discreet orthodontic correction for crowded or spaced teeth, achieving alignment improvements in 6-18 months without compromising daily activities.
Facial Aesthetics
Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers reduce signs of ageing by targeting expression lines and restoring facial volume. Treatments include botox for dynamic wrinkles and hyaluronic acid fillers for lips, cheeks, and jawline contouring. Results appear within days, lasting 3-12 months depending on product and individual metabolism.
Sedation Dentistry
Intravenous sedation ensures comfortable dental experiences for anxious patients, using controlled medication administered by trained professionals. This technique induces a relaxed, semi-conscious state during procedures, with effects wearing off within hours. Patients receive comprehensive pre-treatment consultations to determine suitability and safety protocols.

I used the practice for the first time this year to get veneers fitted by Mairi. I had an amazing experience although I was a bit nervous. Her team made me very relaxed and the results were absolutely amazing. After they were completed Mairi and the girls were inviting the rest of the practice in to see them. She was so pleased and so she should be as everyone has commented on how natural they look. I will be using this practice from now on. Well done to everyone who made this a great experience. Thanks.

Report
I had a genuine fear of visiting the dentist. I experienced some nerve damage when having a filling aged 15. Therefore, my only adult visit (over 20 years ago) for the removal of teeth to make space for my wisdom teeth, was under sedation. In mid December 2019, I was in excruciating pain. Getting worse by the day. I knew I had to pay the dentist a visit. I checked 6 or 7 places in East Kilbride and Glasgow. I sent emails explaining my nervousness. Donny came back first, within an hour and booked me a consultation with Mairi for just a couple of days later. At my consultation, I explained my past

Today my daughter visited our new dentist David Padden. We wanted to let you know that we think you are incredible. If there are any parents out there with children who are scared of the dentist then look no further because David made my daughter feel like the bravest little girl. He used fun child friendly (funny) language to explain the procedure. Thank you David 🦸♂️

I couldn't wish for a better dentist!! I switched to Avondale Dental Practice after feeling terribly frustrated with my previous dentist. From the welcoming reception staff to the hygienist, all the staff are professional and caring. I recently needed some cosmetic work following an accident and Mairi and staff showed such genuine interest and care towards my treatment. Overall the service I received was superb and the quality of work exceptional. I can't speak highly enough of the practice - Mairi MacLean gave me back my smile!

I'd highly recommend Mairi and the rest of the team. I got lip fillers for the first time at Avondale Dental Practice. Mairi talked me through everything, it was more or less painless and she put the right amount of filler in the right places. I've had compliments on what perfect lips I have - they look so naturally plump. I've been back for top ups and the result is always perfection. Thank you!
