Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium root replacements that fuse with jawbone tissue. Our practice specialises in single-visit implant placement using advanced imaging technology. Patients benefit from restored chewing function, improved speech, and natural aesthetics that mimic original teeth. We offer comprehensive implant services including bone grafting and sinus lifts for complex cases.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic treatments transform smiles through veneers, whitening, and bonding procedures. We use premium materials matched precisely to natural tooth colour for seamless results. Patients receive detailed consultations to determine optimal solutions for gaps, chips, or discolouration. The team combines technical expertise with artistic sensibility to create aesthetically pleasing, functional improvements that boost confidence.
Dental Hygiene
Preventive dental hygiene services focus on maintaining optimal oral health through professional cleanings and tailored advice. Our hygienists provide thorough plaque removal, gum disease prevention, and personalised home care guidance. We use modern techniques to ensure comfortable experiences while addressing specific patient needs. Regular hygiene appointments help prevent costly dental issues through early intervention.
Dental Bridges
Fixed dental bridges replace missing teeth using precision-fitted restorations anchored to adjacent natural teeth. We employ advanced materials that mimic natural tooth translucency and wear patterns. The process involves minimal preparation of supporting teeth while achieving durable, aesthetic results. Patients experience improved chewing function and facial structure maintenance.
Nervous Patient Care
Specialised care for anxious patients includes sedation options and gradual treatment approaches. Our team has extensive experience creating comfortable environments through empathetic communication and controlled pacing. We offer pre-visit consultations to address concerns and develop trust-building strategies. This service enables patients with dental phobias to receive necessary treatments without distress.

Report
I was abroad when I required a complicated emergency tooth removal - a couple of days later and back in Edinburgh, I started to feel a lot of discomfort. Went to 3 different dentists around the Bruntsfield area, and no one was willing to take me in despite having an extremely painful dry socket. The team at Bite Dentistry squeezed in an appointment an hour later. Lovely people and excellent professionals. I'll be back and would 100% recommend to friends and family.

Our whole family use Bite for general dentistry and we're always impressed with their care and attention towards us all; especially around our kids. I've recently had some cosmetic work (fixed braces) carried out; I was looked after by Josh and again his care & attention has been exceptional. I am so pleased with the results and have no doubt that Josh guided me well in making the right decisions. Josh is so passionate about his work and this shows in the results in his patients teeth.

Yesterday I had a sinus lift and today I was at work having had no pain, no swelling or bruising. I really don't feel like I have had anything done at all!. I cannot thank Eimear enough for her professionalism, cheerfulness and for making me feel so relaxed . Thank you to the girls who assist her and at the reception too. The care before, during and after my treatment was excellent as always.

I have been with Bite Dentistry ever since they were still called 'Fredirick Street'. They are private practise but do some NHS clients as well. Cathy, my dentist is very professional. Twice a year I go for a checkup and twice for a hygenist. This permanent location is very nicely decorated and the waiting room is spacious and comfortable. Magazine and complimentary water. The machinery they use in the consult room / surgeries are top of the line. The take card when you need to pay, but you can also sign up for a 'program' of sessions - which gives you a discount when visiting
