About Islay & Jura Dental Practice

Islay & Jura Dental Practice provides dental care for patients on the Isle of Islay, with its opening in February 2019 after the team originally relocated to Bowmore in 2015 to address poor access to NHS dental care. The practice is based on the Isle of Islay and works alongside locally employed team members. The practice highlights modern equipment to support a range of treatments, including iTero 5D hybrid imaging for 3D, intraoral colour and NIRI images for caries detection without using x-rays, along with iTero time-lapse technology for comparison over time. For periodontal care, it also references EMS Airflow biofilm therapy, and it uses a Zeiss Dental Microscope to visualise fine details, plus a Medit Intra Oral scanner for restorative treatments. Islay & Jura Dental Practice is also part of a programme approved by NHS education (NES), enabling trainee dentists to gain experience at practices in Scotland. This is described as helping trainees build sufficient experience for work across a variety of dental practices after training.
