Roxburgh Dental Practice, Galashiels

BDS, MJDFRCS (Eng) DipImpDent RCS (Eng)

Duncan has over 10 years experience in providing Dental Implantology in general dental practice.

Duncan is predominately based at Halo Dental Clinic, Glasgow, but also places and restores implants at Banchory Dental Practice and Roxburgh Dental Practice, Galashiels.

Duncan studied at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, graduating with Diploma in Implant Dentistry. He has attended advanced courses in Germany and Italy.

He was the first dentist in the United Kingdom to use the 3 Shape Trios, and Lava LCOS 3D intra oral scanners, in both restoring implants and restorative dentistry, and he has an ongoing interest in Digital integration in Dental Practice and Digital Implant Planning in complex restorative cases.

Duncan is happy to provide all aspects of Dental Implantology for referred patients, including bone grafting, sinus lifts and immediate loading.

He works closely with referring dentists and provides support to ensure long term patient care. He is happy to complete implant restoration or to give clinical support for clinicians wishing to carry out restorative implant work for their own patients.

I obtained my BDS from Newcastle dental school, going on to work in a variety of settings from oral maxillofacial surgery in Southampton General Hospital, to acute dental care in the urgent dental care hubs in London. I have since moved to Scotland and I now work in Colinton Dental Practice & Implant Centre.

My interest is oral surgery; specifically, the surgical removal of impacted 8’s and other minor oral surgery. I am also completing my diploma in implantology and provide implants and implant restorations for my patients. Moreover, I have a passion for restorative dentistry and have developed my techniques in providing aesthetic posterior and anterior composites, as well as direct and indirect onlays in order to provide lasting restorations following a biomimetic approach.

I am committed to providing a service for my patients that is inclusive and holistic and I enjoy working with patients to develop tailored treatment plans suitable to their health and financial needs.

I am qualified to deliver intravenous sedation, where appropriate, and will accept referrals of anxious patients for this. Under IVS I am able to carry out extractions and simple restorative work with the exception of root canal treatment and crown provision. Further to this, I accept referrals for surgical removal of teeth and roots, along with simple surgical removal of wisdom teeth not in close association with the ID nerve.
