Meet Rebekah, one of our friendly Dental Nurses at Slateford Dental Care.

When she’s not in the practice, Rebekah’s favourite place to be is somewhere warm, relaxing on a beach with the sun shining. But her real passion is making sure our patients feel just as relaxed when they’re in the dental chair.

Rebekah understands that visiting the dentist can feel daunting, which is why she takes the time to make patients feel comfortable, reassured and supported throughout their appointment.

From a friendly smile when you arrive to helping you feel at ease during treatment, she’s always there to make your dental experience as positive as possible.

Because great dental care in Edinburgh isn't just about looking after your teeth, it's about looking after you, too.

We’re lucky to have Rebekah as part of our team!

It’s easier than you think!

Your dental hygienist’s favourite things are pretty simple:
• Brush twice a day. Keep on top of your daily oral hygiene routine.
• Don’t forget to floss or use interdental brushes to clean those hard-to-reach areas between your teeth.
• Stay hydrated . Water helps keep your mouth fresh and supports good oral health.
• Watch your sugar intake. Frequent sugary snacks and drinks can increase your risk of tooth decay.
• Keep your hygiene appointments. Professional dental cleaning helps remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone can't reach.
• Tell us what's changed. If you've noticed bleeding gums, sensitivity, bad breath or any other changes, let your hygienist know.

Looking after your teeth and gums between appointments makes your dental hygiene appointments easier and helps maintain a healthier smile in the long term.

And yes… your hygienist will definitely appreciate it!

Looking for a dental hygienist in Edinburgh? Our team at Slateford Dental Care is here to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums.

At Slateford Dental Care, we offer composite bonding in Edinburgh to help enhance the shape, symmetry and appearance of your teeth while keeping your results looking natural.

Composite bonding is a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment that can be used to address a range of concerns, including:

• Small chips or uneven edges
• Gaps between teeth
• Tooth shape and symmetry
• Minor imperfections and discolouration

One of the biggest benefits of composite dental bonding is that it can often create a noticeable difference without extensive treatment , helping you achieve a more balanced, confident smile while maintaining your individuality.

Our experienced team takes the time to understand your goals and provide personalised cosmetic dentistry in Edinburgh, with your comfort and natural-looking results at the heart of your treatment.

If you're considering composite bonding in Edinburgh and want to find out whether it's right for you, get in touch with Slateford Dental Care to arrange a consultation.

If you're looking for a dental hygienist in Edinburgh or you're overdue a scale and polish, our friendly team at Slateford Dental Care is here to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Meet Lauryn, our Senior Dental Nurse!

Lauryn has been a valued member of the Slateford Dental Care team since 2023, bringing professionalism, compassion and a friendly smile to every patient she meets.

As our Senior Dental Nurse, Lauryn plays an essential role in ensuring every appointment runs smoothly while helping our patients feel relaxed, comfortable and well cared for from the moment they arrive.

Outside of the practice, Lauryn enjoys unwinding with a great book, but if she's not curled up reading, there's a good chance you'll find her belting out her favourite songs at karaoke!

We're incredibly lucky to have Lauryn as part of our team, and we're sure our patients will agree that her warm personality and dedication make every visit that little bit easier.

Have you met Lauryn at your appointment? Let us know in the comments!

Thinking about a dental implant?

If you're living with a missing tooth, a dental implant could be a long-term solution to restore both the appearance and function of your smile.

Dental implants are designed to look, feel and function much like natural teeth, helping you eat, speak and smile with confidence again. They can be used to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth, with treatment carefully planned around your individual needs.

At Slateford Dental Care, we understand that choosing dental implant treatment is a big decision. That's why we take the time to explain your options, answer your questions and create a personalised treatment plan designed around you.

Whether you've recently lost a tooth or have been considering dental implants in Edinburgh for some time, our experienced team is here to help.

Looking for dental implants in Edinburgh? Get in touch with Slateford Dental Care to arrange a consultation and find out if implants could be right for you.

Your smile deserves expert care.
