AVOID!
Would not recommend this dental practice based on my experience!!!

I went for a routine check-up, and after a brief examination the dentist told me that everything was fine. No X-rays were taken, despite this being my first visit in a while. A short time later I visited a different dentist, who took X-rays and found three cavities. One of them was very close to the nerve and, if left untreated for much longer, could have required a root canal.

Another issue is how they manage appointments. My appointment was repeatedly postponed, and pushed back by around two months time.

Based on my experience, I was disappointed with both the quality of the examination and the organisation of the practice. Show less »

I was removed from my last Dental Surgery as they were downsizing their NHS patients and Craigentinny Dental Care was available. However, I am very thankful as they are the best dentists I have ever used.

I am very nervous and dreaded my bi-annual check up but my dentist has been patient and brought my teeth up to a decent standard after the 'damage' done from not having dental access during lockdown.

One of my teeth has caused me issues over the years and previous dentists completed 'patch' jobs. My dentist explained the situation and I agreed to an implant and at each stage, everything was explained further.

This is now complete and I'm more than happy with my treatment and would definitely recommend this dentist to everyone - all the staff from those at Reception to the Dentist are brilliant and have always been kind, efficient and compassionate. Show less »

Fraser is an amazing dentist supported by a great team. I was terrified of going to the dentist for 40 years of my life until I found the Craigentinny practice.

Fraser is an amazing dentist supported by a great team. I was terrified of going to the dentist for 40 years of my life until I found the Craigentinny practice. I have been going there for over 10 years and am now relaxed about going even when the treatment will be more challenging as I have total trust and confidence. Fraser has also done some amazing work on my 16 year old daughter’s teeth that was non invasive and was admired by her whole orthodontic practice. Fraser also never advises us to have invasive treatment when there’s a better alternative and this prevented one of my other grown up daughters getting work done that she didn’t need that had been recommended by a dentist in London Show less »

Reception team, nursing team and hygienists always so helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
Highly recommended. Show less »

My family and I have been
patients at Craigentinny for many many years. Each and every one of the staff are professional, friendly and caring. The Clinical team are highly professional always offering premium care and advice. The Reception team are incredible, always a warm welcome no matter how busy they are going out of their way to chat and are so patient when trying to find suitable appointment times! The newly refurbished premises are second to none, but they were just as amazing when functioning from portacabins outside while the work was going on! I really can’t speak highly enough of the whole team at Craigentinny and wouldn’t trust anyone else with our oral health. Show less »

I’ve been a patient of Fraser since I was a child, and I truly couldn’t recommend him more highly. I’ve had quite a lot of dental issues over the years, and in my adult life I had composite veneers done elsewhere that unfortunately caused severe gum irritation and inflammation.

Fraser completely turned things around for me. He carefully restored my gum health first, taking his time and never rushing into treatment, and then redid my composites using a different material that wouldn’t irritate my gums again. The difference has been incredible.

What really stands out is how clearly Fraser explains everything. Most of us don’t have much knowledge about dental treatments, but he talks you through every step so you always understand what’s happening and why. I always feel that the decisions he makes are precise and tailored specifically to my teeth and my long-term health.

I am absolutely delighted with the final result , my smile looks amazing, my gums feel healthy, and I feel so much more confident in myself.

Thank you so much Fraser and all the wonderful team at Craigentinny Dental Practice. Show less »

I can’t recommend Craigentinny Dental Care highly enough. I have been a patient with the practice for a few years now and the entire team are wonderful and make visiting the dentist an enjoyable experience.

A huge thank you to Jill and Callum who have helped me greatly with my oral health. Both of them are so kind, knowledgeable and really make you feel at ease.

Another thanks to the dentists who have seen me for emergency appointments. I am incredibly grateful for all of their care and for always seeing me so quickly.

A shout out for all of the nurses and receptionists who are fantastic, always super welcoming, helpful, friendly and just genuinely lovely people.

If you are looking for a caring and professional dental practice, you will not find better than the team at Craigentinny! Show less »

The Dental Care do not book patients. Do not respond to calls and emails. Reception doesn't do what has been requested. After 5 years I can say they pick up what they want and what they won't do for you. They try black mail you because they believe they only one.

In 2024 I requested a consultation with Odhran McNicholl to discuss crown replacements and some cosmetic work.
My smile you could say was lacking and frankly so was my confidence.

Odhran made an assessment and gave me a report of the work required to gain best results on a 3 option approach plus the relative costs for each option and the timeframe from start to finish.
I was genuinely interested but the one thing that held me back was anxiety about the crown preparation as I had bad experiences in the past . Despite Odhran’s assurances that I wouldn’t feel any pain I had cold feet and pulled out …

After a week of reflection I spoke with Odhran again and decided to go- ahead.

The appointments were planned out over a 4- month period.

I used the whitening procedure for about a month, to get to a level I was happy with and then the crown preparation appointment took place . Odhran did state I wouldn’t feel anything and after 4 hours in the “chair” I can honestly say I didn’t feel any discomfort.

Fast forward to Dental work completion and I must say I am delighted with the result.

Odhran is the consummate professional in his approach and supported by the attentive dental nurses. He managed my expectations perfectly. This In itself gave me confidence and a trust that I was in safe hands.

I now smile a lot more and my confidence has definitely increased.. it’s been quite transformational. I

I definitely recommend Craigentinny Dental Care.

Kind Regards

I came in for a consultation for new composite veneers as I’d had them done 10 years previously at this practice, I’d had an implant at another dentist 6 years previously and I also have my main non cosmetic dentist that I’ve been going to since I was a kid, you basically put me out the practice insinuating I go from dentist to dentist and told me to stick with my non cosmetic dentist! I was really upset as I’d done my research at the cosmetic dentist I’d been too not just going to any old dentist! I came back to your practice as I’d been happy with the previous work , not that I’d step foot into your practice again, you don’t deserve my hard earned cash! Show less »

My family and I have been with Fraser and the team here for just short of 30 years. He is a fantastic dentist, and simply a warm, genuine person who has your health and wellbeing as his primary concern. His dad jokes are pretty good too. The admin staff are wonderful, as are the hygienists. The ethos within the practice is one of relaxed hard-work, friendliness and empathy. The latest treatment I've received to help me with sleep apnoea has been a game-changer for me. I can't praise, thank or recommend this practice highly enough. SIX stars! Show less »
