Our fantastic team consists of five highly trained dentists, an implant practitioner, a root canal practitioner, a facial aesthetics practitioner and three dental therapists. We are fortunate to be supported by an outstanding dental nurse and treatments team.
All of us at The Gentle Touch are firm believers in a preventive approach to your dental care. By preventing problems in your mouth before they arise, you’ll benefit from healthier teeth and gums. It will also mean gentler dental treatment for you over the years.
Our practice mission statement is to provide preventive and holistic dentistry in a patient-centred, gentle and caring way.
We pride ourselves in making our patients feel at ease. From the moment you walk into the practice and meet our welcoming reception team, to when meeting any of our friendly clinicians. We want to make your visit gentle and relaxing; many patients comment that their visit was a pleasure!
Our vision is that every patient at the Gentle Touch enjoys optimal oral health.
If you are looking for a new dentist in the Scottish Borders, or a one-off treatment, please contact us. We are currently accepting new patients for general dentistry as well as cosmetic dentistry.
As a complimentary service and on a no-obligation basis, you can arrange an ‘introductory appointment’ with one of our Smile Advisors, Beth McNeil and Ashley Swailes. They will listen to your queries, concerns and aspirations in a non-clinical environment, then talk you through how we can help.
Without doubt, the best dental practice I've experienced. All staff are very friendly and professional.
I had an onlay a couple of years ago and both the procedure and the result are best described in a word, "faultless". Thank you Amber, what a brilliant dentist you are! All the team get top scores. I feel very lucky to be a patient there.
