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.
My Mission:
I am passionate about delivering the highest quality of dental care and helping my patients achieve and maintain healthy, confident smiles. My focus is on providing long-lasting restorations, preventative care, and treatment tailored to each individual’s needs. I have a particular interest in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and I find it incredibly rewarding to help patients achieve the smile they have always wanted. I am also planning to undertake further training in endodontic (root canal) treatment, allowing me to continue offering the most up-to-date techniques and helping patients preserve their natural teeth wherever possible.
A Little About Me:
I qualified from the University of Glasgow in 2015 and began my career working closer to home in Glasgow before seeking a new challenge in Edinburgh. I joined Edinburgh Dental Studio in May 2021 and have since built strong relationships with both my patients and the fantastic team here. I genuinely enjoy coming to work each day, whether I’m caring for existing patients or welcoming new ones to the practice.
I currently live in Glasgow with my wife, Laura, and our daughter, Maeve. We are also excited to be welcoming another baby into our family in September. Although I work in Edinburgh, I commute by train, which gives me the perfect opportunity to relax with a good book or catch up on my favourite TV shows.
In My Free Time:
When I’m not at the practice or spending time with my family, I enjoy keeping active. You’ll often find me at the gym, out for a run, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. I also take part in amateur CrossFit and HYROX competitions.
Fun Fact:
After having competed in amateur CrossFit and HYROX events, completing a half marathon is next on my list of goals!
My Mission:
My approach is to look at the big picture, providing advanced, prevention-focused care by viewing the mouth as a complete, interconnected system. By combining this systemic philosophy with modern technology and techniques, I ensure your smile is built on a foundation of long-term health, confidence, and protection.
A Little About Me:
Since qualifying, my career has been defined by a relentless pursuit of modern clinical excellence, which included two years mentored by leading clinicians in New Zealand where I served on the Executive Committee for the NZACD. Since joining Edinburgh Dental Studio in 2018, I have focused on comprehensive cosmetic and restorative care, earning recognition as a multi-award-winning dentist, including ‘Best Young Dentist’ at The Dentistry Awards.
In My Free Time:
Outside of the clinic, I am usually spending time with my wife, our two young children, and our Cockapoo. I am a sports fanatic, watching most sports and closely supporting both Liverpool FC and the Kansas City Chiefs.

I have travelled to remote communities in both Cambodia and Ecuador to provide voluntary dental care, treating patients in areas with only the most basic, limited equipment.

My mission is to help every patient achieve a healthy, confident smile through gentle, personalised care. I strive to make every visit comfortable and educational, empowering patients to take control of their oral health.
A Little About Me:

In My Free Time:
Outside of work I love spending time with my husband and 2 children, following the kids around with their hobbies at rugby pitches & highland games & keeping myself fit. As a family we enjoy our camping holidays.
Fun Fact:
When I was younger I enjoyed being part of an athletics club & spent my youth at the runningtrack. As a teenager & in my early 20’s I was selected to compete for Scotland in both Pentathloin & 400m hurdle events.
My Mission:
My mission is to provide safe, evidence-based dental care with a strong focus on prevention, periodontal health, restorative treatment, and helping patients maintain healthy, confident smiles. I strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment where every patient feels listened to, informed, and empowered to take control of their oral health.
A Little About Me:
My journey in dentistry began over 10 years ago as a Dental Nurse, where I had the privilege of working alongside a dentist whose passion for patient care and dentistry was truly infectious. That experience sparked my own love for the profession and inspired me to further my education and train as a Dental Therapist.
After completing university, I quickly realised that dentistry is a career where there is always more to learn. Continuous professional development is something I genuinely enjoy, and if you asked me what my plans are this month, there is a very good chance I’ll be attending a course, learning a new skill, or exploring the latest developments in dentistry and healthcare.
In My Free Time:
Outside of work, I love walking my puppy, Miss Cookie, who is a very active Toy Poodle and definitely keeps me on my toes. I also enjoy playing tennis with my family, travelling, and making the most of time spent outdoors.
Fun Fact:
If I close my eyes, I can usually fall asleep in under five minutes which has become my party trick! This summer, I’ll also be volunteering with a dental charity in Peru and visiting Machu Picchu, travelling light with just a backpack, dental instruments, and three changes of clothes, switching my scrubs to a hiking gear.
My Mission:
My aim is to ensure every patient feels welcomed, comfortable and genuinely cared for throughout their journey with us at Edinburgh Dental Studio. I am passionate about creating a positive experience for both our patients and team, whilst helping the practice continue to grow and deliver the highest standard of care.
A Little About Me:
I am the Practice Manager at Edinburgh Dental Studio and have over 17 years of experience in dentistry. I have been with the practice since 2020, originally starting as a dental nurse and front-of-house receptionist before progressing into the role of Treatment Coordinator and then Practice Manager.
I feel incredibly privileged to lead such a talented and dedicated team. I especially enjoy building strong relationships with our patients and local community, helping create a warm and welcoming environment within the practice.
In My Free Time:
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, running, reading, and attending music festivals. Traveling to new places and spending quality time with my husband and 2 small children is my favourite way to switch off and recharge.
My Mission:
I love being part of our patients’ journeys and helping them feel confident in their smiles. One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is seeing the incredible transformations that take place throughout treatment, particularly with Invisalign and cosmetic dentistry. Watching a patient’s confidence grow alongside their smile and knowing that our team has helped them achieve the results they always hoped for is incredibly rewarding. It’s a privilege to be part of that journey and to see the positive impact it can have on their everyday lives.
A Little About Me:
My career journey into dentistry has been a little different than most. Before joining the dental profession, I spent four and a half years living in Melbourne, Australia, where I worked for a large publishing company. It was an amazing experience that sparked my love of travel and exploring new places.
After returning to Scotland and having my first daughter, I decided to pursue a completely new career and began training as a dental nurse in 2017. I quickly discovered how much I enjoyed working with patients and being part of a profession that can make such a positive difference to people’s lives.
I joined Edinburgh Dental Studio in August 2021 and immediately knew I had made the right decision. The team were incredibly welcoming, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work alongside.
Since joining the practice, my role has evolved considerably. I started as a dental nurse before moving into a front-of-house role and then into marketing. More recently, I stepped into the position of Practice Manager for seven months while Zoe was on maternity leave. I have now returned to my role as Business Marketing Manager, where I enjoy sharing our patients’ stories, supporting the growth of the practice, and showcasing the life-changing results our team achieves every day.
In My Free Time:
Outside of work, I love spending quality time with my family and friends and am a proud mum to two daughters. I enjoy being outdoors, practising yoga, hotel stays, going out for dinner and discovering new restaurants. One of my favourite things about a hotel getaway is a great buffet breakfast.
Travelling is another passion of mine, and I am always looking forward to planning my next adventure.
Fun Fact:
My partner and I are on the hunt to find the best Sunday roast! Throughout the year, we visit different restaurants, score each roast, and choose an overall winner at the end of the year. It’s become a serious competition and one of our favourite traditions.
My Mission:
My favourite part of my role is forming great working relationships with our patients and helping them feel comfortable in the practice environment. I really enjoy being the support throughout their treatment journey and love seeing many happy faces when smile goals have been achieved.
A Little About Me:
I joined the team back in 2023 and have been within this industry since 2017 gaining my SVQ in Dental Nursing. I have experience in General Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry and Implant procedures. For a small period of time, I was a technician assisting doing Direct Hair Implantation procedures in a private clinic.

In My Free Time:
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and making the most of our holidays and time away together. I also enjoy going to the gym and keeping active.
Fun Fact:
My favourite animal is a shark! One of my bucket-list goals is to go swimming with sharks one day, not something you hear every day in a dental practice!
My Mission:
My goal is to create a warm and welcoming environment where every patient feels listened to, cared for and appreciated. I genuinely love talking to people and making connections, and if I can make someone’s day even 1% better, then I feel like I’ve done my job. That’s what motivates and drives me in my work.
A Little About Me:
I have been working in hospitality for the past ten years, which is where I discovered my passion for customer service, meeting new people, and helping others wherever I can. After moving to Edinburgh in 2020 for university, I honestly couldn’t imagine myself living anywhere else, as it has truly become my home.
I have only been working with the practice since the summer, but the entire team has welcomed me with open arms. I’m really enjoying being part of the team and am excited to continue learning more about the dental industry and developing my skills within the practice.
In My Free Time:
Outside of work I love to read almost anything, run and spend time with my friends and family.
Fun Fact:

My goal is to provide a welcoming and positive experience from your very first appointment through to the completion of your treatment.
A Little About Me:
I joined Edinburgh Dental Studio in 2018 and completed my dental nurse training here, qualifying two years later. Having trained within the practice, I have had the opportunity to grow alongside the team and develop strong relationships with both my colleagues and our patients. The team here are a brilliant group of people to work with, and I feel very fortunate to be part of such a supportive and welcoming practice. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, particularly the orthodontic and cosmetic sides. It really is satisfying seeing how happy patients are with their new smiles at the end of treatment.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with friends and family and doing fun activities with my little nephew. I love music so often go to festivals and gigs. I also like to travel and explore new places when I can.

A Little About Me:
I’ve been working in Dentistry for the past four years, after a friend who worked in a dental practice introduced me to the profession. I was drawn to the job because of the combination of working with people, learning something new every day and hands on work.
In My Free Time:
Outside of work I enjoy travelling and spending time with friends and family. I’m a very social person and enjoy making the most of my time outside the clinic.
Fun Fact:
This year 2026 I went travelling around South East Asia with my friends.
My Mission:
Every patient is unique, and my approach is always centred on listening, understanding their concerns, and working together to achieve the best possible outcome. What drives me every day as a dental nurse is the opportunity to make a positive difference to my patients’ experiences. I understand that visiting the dentist can feel daunting for many people, so I strive to create a calm, welcoming, and supportive environment where patients feel comfortable, reassured, and well cared for.
A Little About Me:
Before becoming a dental nurse, I worked in the fitness industry in a management role. While I enjoyed supporting and working with people, I was looking for a new challenge and had always been interested in dental nursing. Making the career change has allowed me to combine my passion for patient care with the opportunity to develop new clinical skills and work in a profession where I can help people every day.
In My Free Time:
Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active and regularly spending time at the gym. I also love socialising with family and friends, whether that’s going out for meals or catching up over coffee.
Fun Fact:
Last year, I stepped completely out of my comfort zone and competed in my first bodybuilding competition and I was delighted to win first place in my class! It was a huge personal achievement and the result of months of dedication, discipline, and hard work.
My Mission:
Through continuous training & learning, I am committed to developing my skills & being part of a team that makes a positive difference every day. From routine dental care to cosmetic treatments, it is so rewarding to know that we can have such a meaningful impact on our patients’ confidence & health.
A Little About Me:
Before joining the dental industry, I worked in retail for over eight years, progressing from Sales Assistant to Assistant Manager. I have always had an interest in dentistry so making that change has been one of the best decisions I have made. Although I have only been with the practice for a short time, the team has been incredibly supportive, & it is a great environment in which to learn & grow.
In My Free Time:
I love to spend time with family & friends. If going for a coffee & catch-up counts as a hobby, then that’s my only one.
