I have been owner and Principal Dentist of the Edinburgh Dental Studio since 2010. I trained at Dundee University, qualifying in 2002, and completed my Vocational Training in a practice in Kirkcaldy. I also worked in practices in Glenrothes and Dunfermline. Having established the practice and taken over the Randolph Practice, I have developed a keen interest in Adult Orthodontics and have now treated hundreds of patients. I am keen to lead my team to deliver the high standards that I expect and I am immensely proud that we won both Best Practice and Best Team in Scotland at the Dentistry Awards in 2017.
I am a new Dad, and I am Fiona’s partner, so much of my time is spent adapting to this new role. I am a keen footballer and although my playing days are coming to an end, I still play seven-a-side football on Thursday nights. I am also a keen fan of one of the Edinburgh football teams who I regularly watch throughout the season.
Having just joined the team at Edinburgh Dental Studio I am really excited to get started. I can’t wait to meet and get to know all the patients. I qualified from Glasgow University in 2015 and have worked in a number of practices across Glasgow, however I am looking forward to a change of scenery in Edinburgh.
I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, and strive to deliver the highest quality of care for my patients. It is important to me that I provide long lasting restorations and keep your mouth as healthy as possible.
In particular I have a passion for cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and find that giving a patient the smile they have always wanted can be so rewarding. In order to be able to provide these treatments I have attended multiple training courses since qualifying, most recently learning from one of the UK’s leading restorative dentists. This means I can provide the most up to date techniques in restorative dentistry, whilst being as kind to your natural teeth as possible.
In the near future I am planning to undertake training in placing dental implants and I hope this will be something that I can add to the team here at Edinburgh Dental Studio.
Outside of dentistry, I have always played football, previously at university level and now for an amateur club. I also enjoy cooking and playing golf when I can.
Since joining Edinburgh Dental Studio in 2018 my main focus has been on providing both general and cosmetic dentistry. I have won awards at The Aesthetic Dentistry Awards 2021 for Internal Tooth Whitening and at The Dentistry Awards in 2022 for ‘Best Young Dentist’.
My approach places an emphasis on providing and maintaining healthy, long lasting smiles. A lot of time is invested into learning about and embracing new technology and techniques to ensure I’m always providing the best possible experience and care.
I qualified from The University of Sheffield in 2015 and then spent two years in Auckland, New Zealand before returning to the UK. Whilst in New Zealand I worked with and was mentored by some of the country’s leading dentists. My drive to push the boundaries of modern day dentistry led to me being elected onto the Executive Committee for the New Zealand Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
My wife and I are parents to Edie and Archie and also dog owners to Whiski, a cockapoo. We love exploring the world and I’m a sports fanatic, supporting both Liverpool and Kansas City Chiefs.

I graduated from the Dental School of Athens in 2016 and worked within a paediatric and adult special care dental practice where I gained a lot of experience in helping nervous patients overcome their fear of dental treatment and improve their experience. I moved to Scotland in 2017 and have been working in general dental practice for the past 6 years gaining invaluable experience in many areas of dentistry before joining Edinburgh Dental Studio. During that time, I developed a special interest in Aesthetic Dentistry and the placement and restoration of dental implants, completing a 3-year Masters Degree with Distinction in Aesthetic Dentistry at King’s College London and I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Implant Dentistry. Alongside this, I love exploring new areas of dentistry and continuously strengthening my skills by attending various educational courses, such as facial aesthetics and crown lengthening.
My goal is to provide the best possible dental care for my patients to the highest quality. I love building a rapport with every patient to support and guide them appropriately in their efforts for better oral health.
The areas of dentistry that fascinate me are Smile Makeovers and Composite Bonding. I love helping patients achieve their dream smile and seeing the smiles on their face afterward.
Outside of dentistry, I really enjoy cooking. I also love upcycling old furniture and painting, which helps me give an artistic touch when performing dentistry.

I joined the practice in September 2019. The best part of my job is seeing patients achieve their dream smiles. The confidence at the end of the orthodontic treatment is one of the most rewarding parts of the jobs. Seeing patients who may have been insecure about their smile start non-stop smiling is lovely. I also love getting to know my patients along the journey as well.
I am a huge family person and devote a lot of time to my loved ones. My fiancé and I love exploring the Scottish Highlands and spending time in Spain (Barcelona and Palma are my favourite Spanish cities). I am also a big dog lover and hope to volunteer in dog rescue shelters in the future. I also enjoy living a healthy lifestyle and go to Pilates classes.

I joined Edinburgh Dental Studio in 2022 when the opportunity arose, having worked in the clinic as an agency nurse whilst studying for my dental therapy degree several years previously. I knew that the practice would be a fantastic place to work. It is well run, friendly and inviting, and every member of the team goes above and beyond to ensure the patients’ best interests are being met.

If I’m not outdoors and exploring new places, I will most likely be spending time with my niece and three nephews. I’m also quite a camping enthusiast especially around the north of Scotland and I have recently become partial to paddleboarding.
I have been working as a Dental Nurse since 2015 and I joined Edinburgh Dental Studio in March 2017.
I enjoy working within the team as I find myself with new challenges every day, which I love as I gain new experience every time managing them. It’s a great pleasure to work beside one of the best clinicians in Edinburgh and in a fantastic and supporting team!
I enjoy our orthodontic treatments the most as it’s a life changing decision for patients and being in this journey with them, supporting patients throughout treatment, makes my job extremely rewarding!
I have worked as a dental nurse since 2017, previously in an NHS based practice where I completed my nursing qualification, This was a new career path for me after having my first child and returning home from living in Melbourne, Australia where I worked for a large publishing company for almost 5 years.

Before starting my career in dental nursing, I had recently completed school and was studying science in college. However, I was eager to gain work experience and new skills. Alex introduced me to EDS, and the job role was exactly what I had been looking for.
My duties within the practice include assisting various clinicians in a range of treatments and mentoring trainees. I enjoy my role for many reasons, such as working under pressure, helping patients achieve the new smiles they have always dreamed of, and raising their confidence through the process. I am excited to continue learning in the field of dentistry and hope to progress in my career in the future.
