Shawlands Dental Practice

About

Shawlands Dental Practice in Glasgow provides NHS dental care with a clear focus on prevention and maintaining a healthy mouth, with particular emphasis on children. The practice has been involved with the NHS Childsmile programme since its inception in 2007, supporting long-term oral health for younger patients and families. Family NHS dentistry is at the heart of the clinic, and it began in 1935, first opened by dentist Jean Suttie. The practice describes an ethos of quality improvement in how care is delivered, alongside a strong commitment to providing high-quality NHS treatment in a supportive environment. Patients benefit from continuity, as the team works together consistently and many staff have been with the practice for many years. The practice notes that people often value continuing care, feeling they are known well as individuals and as part of their families, and that they can call on the team when they need to be seen.
