1. Edinburgh Dental · ⭐ 9.9
(855 reviews)
59 Ratcliffe Terrace, Edinburgh EH9 1ST, United Kingdom
Edinburgh Dental is a referral centre for tooth replacement: more than 150 dentists across the UK send their own patients here for implant work rather than attempt it themselves. Referrals are taken for implants, complex full-arch cases, surgical dentistry, CBCT and OPT imaging and urgent pain relief; afterwards the patient goes back to their own dentist with a report.
2. Slateford Dental Care · ⭐ 10.0
(793 reviews)
47-51 Slateford Rd, Edinburgh EH11 1PR, United Kingdom
Slateford Dental Care opened in 1989 as a single surgery and now runs seven surgeries over two floors. When the founder retired in 2024 it changed hands for the first time — not to a corporate group but to Christopher Logan, an associate of five years who wanted it kept private and independent. Several of its dentists have followed the same families from milk teeth into adultho…
3. Frederick Street Dental Care I Oral Surgery Referral Centre · ⭐ 9.5
(465 reviews)
57 Frederick St, Edinburgh EH2 1LH, United Kingdom
Frederick Street Dental Care runs a general practice and an oral surgery referral centre out of one city-centre building. The surgical bench comes from the Edinburgh Dental Institute: consultants and clinicians on the GDC Specialist List in Oral Surgery who teach postgraduate trainees the rest of the week. A patient arriving with a swollen jaw is assessed by a general dentist a…

4. Southside Dental Care · ⭐ 9.9
(461 reviews)
125 Mayfield Rd, Edinburgh EH9 3AJ, United Kingdom
Southside Dental Care takes referrals in rather than passing them out. Practices across Edinburgh send patients to this south-side surgery for implants, orthodontics and cone-beam imaging through a dedicated referral form. The draw is the principal: Leanne Branton founded the practice, holds the Diploma in Implant Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons, lectures on implan…

5. Inverleith Dentalcare · ⭐ 9.9
(449 reviews)
25 Inverleith Row, Edinburgh EH3 5QH, United Kingdom
Inverleith Dentalcare has looked after households on the north side of Edinburgh for more than half a century, and it still works like a neighbourhood practice: private, unhurried, built on prevention. What marks it out among the city's private surgeries is a biological emphasis — protocol-led safe amalgam removal, metal-free ceramic implants, and restorative work under a writt…
6. The Row Dental Edinburgh · ⭐ 10.0
(446 reviews)
31 Albany St, Edinburgh EH1 3QN, United Kingdom
The Row Dental opened in a Grade A-listed New Town townhouse in 2023, styled so that it does not read as a clinic. Founder Dr Slaine Ker built it around one idea: a patient chasing a cosmetic result should not be posted around the city the moment the groundwork turns complex. Smile work, specialist treatment and consultant-led sedation sit under one roof.
«Always an incredible experience at The Row Dental in Edinburgh! From the moment you walk i…»
7. Bellevue Dental Practice · ⭐ 9.7
(424 reviews)
1 Bellevue Pl, Edinburgh EH7 4BS, United Kingdom
Bellevue is a mixed practice – part of the work is done on the NHS, part privately – with three surgeries and a family feel. The unusual part is its second role: it publishes referral forms for colleagues across Edinburgh, one of them solely for a cone beam CT scan, and takes on patients who can only be treated under sedation.
8. Edinburgh Dental Specialists · ⭐ 9.7
(361 reviews)
178 Rose St, Edinburgh EH2 4BA, United Kingdom
Nobody books a check-up here. Patients arrive on referral from their own dentist or doctor, the practice handles what general dentistry does not cover, then writes back and returns them to their usual surgery. It opened in 1994 as a single-handed private practice and became, by its own account, Scotland's first multidisciplinary referral centre.
«I had a failed root canal and despite my usual dentist doing everything they could to save…»
9. La Belle Dental Clinic · ⭐ 10.0
(268 reviews)
3 Quality St, Edinburgh EH4 5BP, United Kingdom
Nadine Al-Farhan and Shahad Al-Dabbagh met at dental school and bought this clinic together in August 2022. What they did next defines it: rather than keep a quiet neighbourhood surgery, they put in iTero scanning and a CBCT machine, hired a specialist bench and set out to make it somewhere other dentists could refer to. It was named Scotland’s Prestige Dental Clinic of the Yea…
10. Haymarket Dental · ⭐ 9.9
(265 reviews)
264 Morrison St, Edinburgh EH3 8DT, United Kingdom
Haymarket Dental has stood beside Haymarket station for more than a century, and since 2009 it has belonged to Drs Andrew and Kiki Norman, who qualified together at Newcastle and took it on as a married couple. The division of labour is deliberate: Andrew places every implant that goes into a patient here, while Kiki takes cosmetic cases only. The practice is private, family-ow…
