Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care and restorative treatments. We provide routine check-ups, fillings, and oral health education for patients of all ages. The practice combines modern techniques with a compassionate approach to help patients maintain optimal dental health through regular maintenance and early intervention.
Cosmetic Bonding
This minimally invasive procedure restores chipped, discoloured, or misshapen teeth using tooth-coloured resin. Our dentists apply and shape the material in a single visit, creating natural-looking results that improve smile aesthetics. The treatment offers immediate improvement with durable, stain-resistant materials that blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains and discolouration. We offer customised bleaching solutions following thorough dental assessments to determine suitability. The process safely lightens tooth shade while maintaining enamel integrity, with results tailored to individual patient expectations and dental conditions.
Emergency Care
We provide same-day appointments for urgent dental issues including broken teeth, lost fillings, and severe toothache. Our experienced team delivers immediate pain relief and implements permanent solutions where possible. Emergency services include temporary restorations and repairs to stabilise dental conditions promptly.
Invisalign Treatment
As Edinburgh's Top Invisalign Provider 2021, we offer discreet teeth straightening solutions using clear aligners. This orthodontic treatment gradually repositions teeth through custom-made, removable trays. We provide comprehensive assessments and treatment plans to address various alignment issues while maintaining aesthetic appearance during correction.

Terrible service. Called twice to get my xrays emailed to me to pass on to another dentist as i decided to not follow thru with this practice. Twice i was told it would be done and I am yet to receive the requested info. Hire better receptionists. You are not doing yourself any favors with the one you got.

Appalling service. They lied to me, didn't provide what they promised and then said they never promised that. Took them a month to reply to an email. Very dismissive. Would never recommend.

Booked an appointment to see a dentist, I got to the practice a receptionist told me that I was booked in with an hygienist, next available appointment with a dentist after 4 pm is in two weeks time.
Receptionist did not apologise to have mess up the booking, she could not care any less. My husband two weeks ago had the opposite problem, he booked an appointment with hygienist but he got to see a dentist. If they cant get a simple appointment right what are the chances they can do any other job right?!?

Without problems she continued the treatment and found also an other problem that was fixed too. Now I can use again my teath normal again. Thank you very much!
