Dentist Near Craigleith and Blackhall: Close to Craigleith

Q: Is there a bus from Ravelston or Craigleith?

Yes. The 38 runs from Ravelston, past Craigleith Retail Park, to the Comely Bank Cemetery stop on Crewe Road South, about 10 minutes' walk from us. From Crewe Toll or the Western General, the 24 and 29 stop at Learmonth Grove, two minutes away. Check Lothian Buses for times before you travel.

Q: Can our whole family register with you?

Yes. Adults register as private patients, and once a parent or guardian is on one of our dental plans, we register the children on the NHS, where their dental care is free. Ask for the family's dental examinations back to back and everyone is seen in one trip.

Q: Do I need a referral for implants?

No. You can book a free implant consultation yourself. Dr Davinder Kalsi will talk you through the options, and you'll have a written plan with a fixed fee before you decide. Planning scans are taken here at the practice.

If you live in Craigleith, Blackhall or Ravelston, our practice is a mile or so east of you, on the corner of Comely Bank and East Fettes Avenue.
