Services
Routine Check-ups
Regular dental examinations ensure early detection of oral health issues. Our NHS check-ups include comprehensive assessments of teeth, gums, and mouth. Patients receive tailored advice to maintain optimal dental hygiene between visits.
Tooth Whitening
Professional tooth whitening restores natural tooth colour using custom-fitted trays. This treatment effectively reduces staining caused by diet, smoking, or aging. Results last longer with proper maintenance and follow-up care.
Child Smile Clinics
Specialised dental care for children under five focuses on preventive care and education. We provide early intervention to establish good oral hygiene habits. Parents receive guidance on maintaining children's dental health at home.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns restore damaged teeth while bridges replace missing ones. These treatments improve both function and appearance. We use durable materials to ensure long-lasting results for patient comfort.
Hygiene Services
Professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup to prevent gum disease. Our hygienists provide personalised oral care advice during each session. Regular hygiene visits maintain overall dental health and prevent complications.

I've been to many dentists over the years and Mark is definitely at the top. He an excellent dentist, makes me feel completely at ease, explains his approach and always listens. He has an excellent manner, very understanding and sensitive to his patients needs, all of which results in building trust. I really wouldn't want to go to anyone else now. Provides me with a 1st class service.

I have a great dentist who is very friendly, but the receptionist is really very rude. I know we're in a pandemic but the snarkiness really isn't helpful.

I have always had 'the fear' when going to dentist, but not when I go here, they are a fabulous practice x

Report
I was a patient here from the ages of 7 - 18, had absolutely no problems and even enjoyed my visits, then moved to Edinburgh for university and registered at a new dental practice. I've just been refused an emergency service to cover a cavity entering my nerve canal, caused by a lost filling, from them because I've registered elsewhere since last seeing them. I explained that my current dentist can't fit me in till the new year and that the gap is being filled with debris when I eat, exacerbating the condition requiring root canals, and rather than empathy received a slavish adherence to bureaucracy
