Dental Implants

Are you dealing with the daily realities of missing teeth or perhaps finding your dentures just aren't as comfortable or reliable as you'd like? It's common to feel self-conscious or find eating certain foods a challenge when your smile isn't quite right. We understand these concerns can impact your everyday life.
If you're looking for a dependable way to get your smile back, you might be interested in dental implants. Unlike temporary solutions, implants are designed to be a permanent part of your mouth. We place them directly into your jawbone, acting much like a natural tooth root. This means they offer a level of stability and comfort that other options often can't match. They also help keep your jawbone healthy which is important for your overall oral structure.
Learning about dental implants could open up new possibilities for you – from enjoying your meals without worry to simply feeling more confident when you speak and smile. If you're curious about a lasting solution that feels like having your own teeth back again, get in touch and we'll explain how you can make this happen.

Porcelain Veneers
Before

Do you ever find yourself wishing your smile was a little brighter, more even or just generally more confident? Perhaps you're conscious of small chips, gaps, or discolouration that make you hesitant to show your teeth fully. It's completely understandable to want a smile that truly reflects how you feel inside.
If you're considering a way to quickly and effectively transform your smile's appearance, you might be interested in porcelain veneers. These are thin, custom-made shells designed to fit perfectly over the front surface of your teeth, creating a beautifully uniform and natural-looking result. They're a popular choice for addressing a variety of cosmetic concerns, from stubborn stains to minor misalignments, often in just a couple of appointments.
Exploring porcelain veneers could be the first step towards the radiant, confident smile you've been hoping for. It's a straightforward approach to enhancing your smile's aesthetics and can make a real difference to how you feel about your appearance.
The hugely popular invisible braces system which we have been working with for many years. Find out how it can help straighten teeth in an average of just six months.
A great solution for discoloured or damaged teeth. Working with your existing teeth we carefully colour-match the composite resin to restore your natural smile.
Do you want to get rid of your old metal fillings? New composite filling materials offer a long-term solution. Remember to ask about dental inlays too.
Full Range of Dental Services
In addition to our cosmetic dentistry work we also offer our patients a full range of general dental services including regular checkups, fillings, scale and polish, everything you expect from your family dentist.
Hygienist
Our professional hygienist will be glad to welcome you with regular check-ups, friendly advice on dental care as well as specific treatment relating to our cosmetic procedures.
Dental Pain
If any of our patients are experiencing severe toothache or have a dental trauma we want to hear from them. If the situation is urgent please pick up the phone.
Dental Sedation
Some patients feel stress at the thought of going to the dentist and we do our best to put them at ease. We can offer sedation if requested or where a procedure calls for it.
Nervous Dental Patients Welcome
We realise many people need courage to see a dentist. They may have suffered from poor treatment recently or have bad memories of visiting the dentist when they were a child. We provide a friendly, caring, relaxed and welcoming environment where we help you talk through your fears and we take time to explain why and how we do things and proceed when you feel comfortable. And we offer dental sedation for those patients who need it or when the treatment calls for it.

Ask a Dentist
What are the most popular dental treatments in Glasgow?
- White Fillings: either for first time fillings or for patients who want to replace old mercury amalgam fillings. More patients ask for white fillings now than ever before.
- Dental Implants: few people are willing to endure broken or missing teeth now. Given the choice they would much prefer long-lasting, good-looking dental implants.
- Clear Braces: happy patients often rave about the smile-changing effects of systems such as Six Month Smiles.
- Teeth Whitening: although some patients simply want the benefits of a white smile, others are pleased to find teeth whitening is included with another treatment such as cosmetic braces.
Which foods are the worst for my teeth?
- Boiled sweets: Remember Glasgow's favourite, Soor Plooms? They stick to your teeth and bathe them in sugar, increasing the risk of decay.
- Dried fruits: High in natural sugars and very sticky, they cling to teeth and feed plaque bacteria.
- Fizzy drinks (yes, including diet versions): Acidic and sugary, they erode enamel and promote dental cavities.
- Potato crisps: Turn into a nasty starchy paste that gets trapped between teeth and feeds harmful bacteria.
- Flavoured yoghurts: Look healthy, but are often packed with hidden sugars that coat your teeth and lead to erosion of your enamel.
