🩵 SIMPLE, CLEAN, HONEST DENTISTRY 🩵

If you’ve ever worked with me, you’ll know my steps never change:
Communication. Education. Isolation. Magnification. Abrasion. Restoration. Re-Education.

This molar restoration was an absolute joy! One of my favourite types of work.

Early intervention like this means we can keep things small, simple and strong, preserving options for future treatments if ever needed. That’s the benefit of regular checkups and finding a dentist you trust who does things properly.

Patient Tips: Maintaining Your Fillings & Oral Health
• Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
• Clean between teeth daily using floss or interdental brushes
• Limit sugar intake, especially between meals
• Attend regular checkups so problems are caught early
• Ask about sealants or fluoride varnish if you’re at higher risk of decay

Composite fillings can last many years with good habits. Prevention is always better (and cheaper) than cure!

🗝️ FEARFUL TO FEARLESS 🗝️

This lovely gentleman came to see me after over 20 years of avoiding the dentist. He was absolutely petrified, having lost his upper denture and hit breaking point. He couldn’t eat properly, socialise, or feel comfortable in day-to-day life. His confidence had vanished.

We sat together and just talked. Sometimes when running late, it’s often because I’m doing just this.. winning someone over, like I might have done with you!

After a thorough assessment and plenty of reassurance, we created a plan:
- Restore his smile quickly, but properly
- Always work with his comfort first, including IV sedation for any treatment
- Use digital dentistry for precision, efficiency, and long-term confidence

Under sedation in our brilliant multidisciplinary clinic, we:
- Extracted retained roots
- Cleaned and restored his remaining teeth

Then after becoming friends without sedation, we:
- Took digital scans to create a new upper denture
- Carried out lower arch whitening to match

The final result? A natural-looking, functional smile—and a truly life-changing moment.

He told me I’ve changed his life and I’m now officially his new best friend 😄

And the best part? His new denture is digitally backed-up. If it’s ever lost again, we can simply 3D print a new one and send it out—no panic necessary.

Why regular dental visits matter:
- Early detection = easier, less invasive treatments
- Preventive care reduces the need for sedation and complex procedures
- A healthy mouth leads to better overall health and wellbeing

I’m incredibly grateful to be trusted with these journeys, especially early in my career. I’ve learned a lot through this case—and I’ll continue striving for excellence with every patient.

If you’ve been avoiding the dentist, know this: it’s never too late. You’re not alone. And we’re here to help, judgement-free, at your pace.

Let’s bring your smile back!?

🆗 LIFE CHANGING 🆗

This incredible patient came to me feeling self-conscious about the dark metal shadow peeking through from her old crowns. She’d spoken to several dentists before no one quite understood her vision.⁣ Then she found me. And together we just clicked.
⁣
This wasn’t just a case of replacing old crowns. This was a journey. We carefully removed outdated work, respected what was already there, and sculpted something completely new. We widened the smile. We softened the shapes. We brought in textures, subtle tapers, gentle translucency.⁣
⁣
Every line angle was designed to complement not just her teeth, but her face, her smile, her confidence.⁣
⁣
We didn’t rush.

We trialled temporaries. We refined the plan. We listened. We visualised. We perfected.⁣
⁣
The result? A transformation that speaks for itself and a patient who left absolutely over the moon.
⁣
I now have a patient for life and I’m just as thrilled as she is.!!

A few clinical pearls:

• Grey metal shine-through often comes from older PFM crowns with inadequate masking and recession. Always assess gingival biotype and metal margins before starting.

• Don’t jump to finals. Spend time with high-quality provisionals! They allow you and the patient to preview the smile and fine-tune everything from occlusion to aesthetics.

• Photography matters. Pre-ops, mock-ups, and post-ops aren’t just for Instagram.. they’re essential communication tools with labs and patients.

• Respect the face. Don’t design teeth in isolation. Your smile design should align with facial symmetry, lip mobility, smile curve, and the patient’s personality.

• Trust the process. Collaborative cases like this aren’t built in one appointment - they evolve. Be patient and let the treatment flow around the patient’s feedback.

If you’re someone who’s concerned about old crowns, metal shadows, or you’re just ready to feel good about your smile again, please reach out. I’d love to hear your story and help bring your vision to life too.

💧 LIP HYDRATION 💧

This patient came to see me wanting a refreshed, balanced look while keeping things natural.

Her goals:
Restore hydration
Enhance symmetry
Show a little more of her upper lip when smiling — without adding excessive volume

Using Teosyal Kiss by Teoxane, we achieved a soft, natural enhancement that respects her anatomy while subtly improving projection and hydration.

Why Teosyal Kiss?
Developed for the unique mobility of the lips
Long-lasting hydration without heaviness
Smooth integration for natural definition

As a dentist with medical aesthetics training, I always prioritise patient safety, balance, and artistry. Filler should never overwhelm, it should quietly support what’s already beautiful.

Scotland Update:
With new regulations in place, all injectable treatments like fillers must now be performed in Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS)-regulated medical settings. This is a huge step forward for patient safety and professionalism in our industry. Always ensure your practitioner is qualified and HIS-registered.

Benefits of subtle lip enhancement:
Rehydrates and revitalises lips
Preserves facial harmony
Supports confident, natural smiles; not trends

🪄SOMETHINGS DIFFERENT ABOUT YOU 🪄

That’s exactly what this patient was hoping for: the kind of natural, confident smile that makes people wonder… but not know exactly what.

He came to see me ahead of a few special events this summer, feeling conscious in photos and frustrated by old, stained composites that had worn down over time. They lacked definition, shape, and that natural tooth-like vitality.

After a detailed consultation, including a discussion around the causes of tooth wear (essential to ensure longer term success!) we did a little in-chair whitening to lift the shade slightly and then carefully bonded each tooth with a focus on age-appropriate shape, tone, and texture. ⁣

No drastic changes. No artificial finish. Just a confident, refreshed version of himself — and a smile that feels like him again.

In hindsight, I should have added to the canines but the bite unfavored them, so we opted not to as they were a higher risk of chipping.

If you’re looking for that “can’t quite put my finger on it” kind of result, my DMs are open.

✨ Dental Awards 2025 ✨

I’m feeling incredibly grateful, emotional and proud to have been a finalist at the Dental Awards 2025 💫

Never did I think, at this early stage of my career, that I would be standing alongside so many inspirational people in the profession. Friday night in Leicester was unforgettable — filled with amazing conversations, laughter, and genuine moments of celebration 💛

Huge congratulations to all of the highly commended and winners — you are so deserving!

One of the biggest highlights for me was being there with my nurse — my little sidekick 🦷🩵 If you’ve ever been in surgery with us, you’ll know exactly how much of a superstar she is. I simply couldn’t do my job without her.

This has been a special milestone, and it’s only the beginning. I’m committed to continuing to grow, learn, and give my very best to my patients. There are exciting things ahead — including a new post and a new location for facial aesthetics, which I’ll be announcing very soon. My dentistry will continue to be based in Glasgow City Centre.

I’m currently accepting a limited number of new patients — both NHS and private — so if you’d like to join the journey, please get in touch with myself or the practice 📞📩

To everyone who has supported me along the way — thank you from the bottom of my heart. Dentistry can be tough, but I genuinely love what I do. Being a clinician for the last 10 years has been the most rewarding chapter… and I can’t wait to see where the next one takes me 🦷✨

❕INSTANT SAFE WHITENING❕

In-chair Whitening | Instant Results

This transformation was achieved in just one 30-minute appointment using the .uk whitening protocol — three 8-minute sessions back-to-back. No trays, no at-home gels, just instant results for natural teeth.

You may have seen our 10-minute session results posted before — but which option is right for you?

• If your teeth are already lighter and you’re generally under 30, the 10-minute session is usually ideal.
• If your teeth are darker, more worn, or if you’re older (and your enamel has thinned slightly, revealing more yellow-toned dentine), the longer 30-minute protocol like this one may be better suited.

All of this will be discussed fully during your whitening consultation.

This protocol is perfect if you have an event coming up and want immediate results — no need for multiple visits or take-home kits. It can be done alongside your hygiene appointment or independently.

Please note: whitening only works on natural teeth. Crowns, bridges, veneers, and composite fillings will not change shade.

This patient was absolutely delighted with their result!

Limited appointments available as we head into a busy few months. DM to book or ask any questions.

🎩 DANIEL THE GROOM 🎩

Daniel came to see me unhappy with his front teeth — worried about staining, old restorations, a darkened tooth and a visible metal-backed bridge after an accident years ago. With his wedding on the horizon, he wisely came to see me with plenty of time to plan properly.

Together, we created a smile that not only looked perfect for his big day but was designed with longevity in mind.
Now, Daniel can walk down that aisle smiling with total confidence:

- No blackness
- No yellow
- No rough margins
- No staining
.just a natural, healthy look.

*just look at the slightly higher lip line now he’s happy when smiling*

If you’re a bride or groom planning ahead, here’s why starting early makes a difference:

Advantages of early smile planning (ideally 12 months or more):

- Time to trial your smile and reflect before committing
- Flexibility to involve family if needed
- Treatment can be finished well ahead of the big day
- Ability to manage any necessary tooth movement
- Plenty of time for complex planning if needed
- Room to make any small adjustments after the main treatment is complete

For Daniel, we used a resin-retained bridge — a fantastic option in the right case.

Advantages of resin-retained bridges:
• Minimal tooth preparation
• Natural-looking results
• Less invasive compared to traditional bridges
• Good option while considering future implants
• Cost-effective and strong when well planned

Daniel may choose an implant further down the line, but right now he has a smile that he loves!

If you’re getting married within the next 12 months and want to smile with confidence, I’d love to help you plan ahead.

🏆 YOUNG DENTIST FINALIST 🏆

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve been shortlisted as a FINALIST for Young Dentist of the Year 2025 at the Dentistry Awards!

Dentistry is such a rewarding and humbling profession. Every day brings its own challenges, lessons, and smiles (literally and figuratively).

In 2013 I attended the awards as a young professional in the making with my first dental team. I watched my colleagues collect their awards and remember thinking, I hope I get that recognition one day.. and here it is.

A few things I’m feeling right now:
• So grateful to do a job I love and work with a wonderful, supportive team!
• Amazed by the trust my patients place in me.
• Thankful for all the incredible mentors, colleagues, and teams I’ve worked with.
• Excited to be alongside some huge names this year — the competition is seriously inspiring!
• Reminded daily that the best reward is seeing patients leave more confident than they arrived.

Win or lose, just being recognised at this level is a real “pinch me” moment.
Thank you for all the support here’s to growing, learning, and smiling through it all!

As always, be your own number one fan. UNAPOLOGETICALLY.

⚜️ THE 5 IMPOSTER SYNDROMES ⚜️

- The Perfectionist
- The Superhero
- The Expert
- The Natural Genius
- The Soloist

If I had to choose 5 personas to describe dentists, I don’t think I could pick any more accurately, am I wrong or am I wrong!!?

This lovely patient came to me after seeing multiple other dentists. She was self-conscious of the metal margins in her old crowns and felt like her smile didn’t reflect her. She wanted something natural, age-appropriate, and that felt like hers.

I never promise patients I can give them a smile that wasn’t theirs, but perhaps we can restore what once was..

What followed was hours of planning, trial smiles, wax-ups, and even a trip to the lab. We had to work with existing anterior implant crowns that couldn’t be changed—so we built everything else around them, like they’d been in the blueprint from the start. (10 points for Slytherin if you spot them)

And this is where we landed. A full mouth rehab that she’s beyond delighted with.

6 weeks post-fit, we’ve got a glowing patient—and one very grateful dentist.

I still get imposter syndrome with these cases. I think a lot of us do, especially early in our careers. But it’s in those moments of doubt that you realise just how much trust patients place in us.

They choose us to shape how they look in wedding photos, job interviews, birthday selfies. That smile will now live in all those moments.

If you’re a young dentist reading this—don’t let the fear stop you. Plan hard, lean on your mentors, trust your eye. You’ll be amazed what you can achieve.

And if you’re someone who’s been hiding their smile for years—come see what’s possible.
