A Family Run Business.
In 2015, I co-founded Scottish Dental Care alongside my brother, Christopher.
As a clinically led and family-owned business, we don’t consider ourselves to be a corporate entity. I remain a practising dentist, splitting my time between patient care, mentorship, and overseeing the clinical strategy of Scottish Dental Care in my role as Clinical Director of Dentistry.
Our shared vision from day one was to build a network of first-class dental facilities, strengthened by a support network that empowers our clinicians to prioritise patient care to the best of their abilities.
Now with 22 clinics and growing, our commitment to our people, facilities and patients remains the cornerstone of our success.

Our Story
How Did It Start?
Scottish Dental Care was established in 2016 when we acquired our first clinic in Oban, but our story really began 10 years earlier in the West End of Glasgow.
