Services
Emergency Dentistry
We provide same-day emergency dental appointments to address acute oral health issues promptly. Our experienced team handles dental trauma, severe toothaches, and broken teeth with immediate attention. Patients receive timely interventions to alleviate pain and prevent complications while maintaining access to regular dental care services.
White Composite Fillings
Our tooth-coloured composite fillings restore damaged teeth while maintaining natural aesthetics. This minimally invasive treatment bonds directly to tooth structure, providing durable repairs for cavities and fractures. Patients benefit from conservative preparation techniques that preserve maximum healthy tooth tissue while achieving seamless results.
Crowns Bridges Veneers
We offer comprehensive tooth replacement and restoration options including crowns, bridges, and veneers. These treatments address missing teeth, structural damage, and cosmetic concerns through custom-fabricated restorations. Patients receive functional improvements alongside aesthetic enhancements tailored to individual dental characteristics and facial proportions.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services effectively reduce discolouration and stains for a brighter smile. Our supervised bleaching protocols use safe, proven materials to achieve noticeable results while minimising sensitivity. Patients receive customised treatment plans considering enamel condition and desired shade improvements through either in-clinic or take-home applications.
Hygiene Therapists
Our dental hygienists specialise in preventive oral healthcare and periodontal maintenance. Through professional cleanings, plaque removal, and tailored hygiene instruction, they help prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Patients receive individualised education on effective home care routines and risk factors affecting oral health to maintain treatment outcomes long-term.

Good if you like sitting and waiting 30+ minutes past your apponintment time and see people come in well after you and go in before you, each time you go there.

I got recommend by a close friend to go to blue door dental practice and see Scott McLean, I hadn't been registered for a good number of years anywhere, I was not disappointed. He acted in a very professional way he eased my worries and concerns I had. He was Quick, efficient, and painless. I now have over come my fear of the dentist and look forward to going back. As I was recommended I highly recommend Scott McLean and the rest of the members of staff.

Disgusting! I would give 0 stars if I could. I had a lose cap on my front tooth that requires re building the dentist was too lazy to do this & simply wanted to remove the tooth! He also refused to do this on the day & sent me home. I thankfully left this company & registered elsewhere with a dentist who was more than happy to re build the tooth. Dentist name was Scott McLean I would advise anyone not to register with the blue door dental practice but if they foolishly do avoid Scott McLean like the plague if you want to keep your own teeth! This used to be a good practice but it is now the absolute

Blue door have been my dentists for at least five years now. All of the staff are extremely polite and friendly and make a point of asking how you are. I was given a same day appointment with my dentist Scott McLean because my front tooth filling had broken away and it was all sorted for me in the usual professional and polite manner. Thanks to all the staff!
