Our fantastic team consists of ten highly trained clinicians: four dentists, four dental therapists, an implant practitioner and a root canal practitioner. We are also fortunate to be supported by an outstanding treatment support team who will guide you through the new patient process and onto membership.
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.
Everything we do at The Gentle Touch is guided by a simple belief: your natural teeth are worth saving.
We provide preventive dentistry in a patient-centred, gentle and caring way, where team members thrive and patients receive optimal care.
Our commitment to excellence is matched by our investment in state-of -the-art technology, from AIRFLOW® for gentle, effective cleaning to advanced intra-oral scanners and cameras that help you better understand your care.
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, cosmetic and emergency dentistry.
As a complimentary service and on a no-obligation basis, you can arrange an ‘introductory appointment’ with one of our Care Coordinators, Ashley Swailes and Ashley Foggon. 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.
