A DUMFRIES dental clinic has invested £50,000 into a new state-of-the-art scanner.
The new dental cone beam CT scanner is now in situ at Dumfries Dental Clinic and Implant Centre, which is parts of Scottish Dental Care.
It delivers precise imaging for dental implants, restorative work, and oral surgery, significantly improving treatment planning and patient outcomes.
In addition, Dr Martin MacEachen alongside Dr Catherine Griffiths and dental therapist Holly Hay, have joined the team at the high street practice.
Dr MacEachen will support the clinic with NHS emergencies, routine examinations, and private treatments, including tooth straightening and dental implants. He said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a practice that continues to grow and invest in its future.
“The combination of modern technology and a strong patient-focused approach makes a real difference in delivering quality care. I look forward to working with the team to support patients with the latest NHS and advanced treatments locally, avoiding travel to Glasgow or Edinburgh.”
Philip Friel, founder of Scottish Dental Care, added: “We understand the challenges facing dentistry, particularly in rural areas, and we are committed to creating an environment where dentists and clinicians can thrive.
“We firmly believe in investing in both our people and facilities to deliver the best possible patient experience. Our Dumfries practice is a great example of how we are enhancing local dental care by equipping our team with the latest technology and the best possible support.”
