Services
Dental Hygienist Services
Our dental hygienists specialise in preventive dental health and gum disease treatment. They provide professional cleanings, plaque and tartar removal, and tailored oral hygiene advice. Patients learn effective home care techniques, including brushing, flossing, and dietary recommendations, to maintain long-term oral health.
Teeth Whitening
We offer professional teeth whitening treatments to enhance smiles. Using safe, dentist-prescribed methods, our hygienists apply bleaching agents to remove stains and discolouration. This service improves aesthetic appeal while maintaining dental health, with results lasting years with proper care.
Root Canal Treatment
This procedure treats infected or damaged tooth pulp, preserving natural teeth. Our dentists use advanced techniques to remove bacteria, clean the root canal, and seal it to prevent reinfection. Patients experience pain relief and restored dental function without extraction.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns restore damaged teeth' strength and appearance, while bridges replace missing teeth. We use durable, tooth-coloured materials for natural-looking results. These treatments improve chewing ability, prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, and maintain facial structure.
Emergency Dental Care
We provide prompt care for dental emergencies like severe pain, broken teeth, or infections. Our team assesses and stabilises conditions to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications. Urgent cases are prioritised, ensuring timely access to critical dental interventions.

Report
Sue McNeil , we were introduced to a number of years ago when she was a practitioner at a dental practice in Penicuik. She went on to set up her own practice in Roslin and after a successful period as team leader decided to sell up and move to Peebles. Such a lovely and easy going lady. Perfect personality for being a dentist. Puts you at ease the moment you meet her. Suggest you get down there and enjoy the experience.
