Understanding our patient journey

We believe that great dentistry starts with a great relationship. From the moment you step into our modern, welcoming practice, our goal is to make you feel at ease. We have refined our “Patient Journey” into four clear steps to ensure you always know what to expect.

1. The initial consultation
Your journey begins with a conversation. We don’t just jump into a chair and start looking at teeth; we take the time to talk about your goals. Are you looking for a brighter smile? Are you experiencing discomfort? We’ll discuss your medical history, take any necessary X-rays, and perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums.

2. Bespoke planning
No two smiles are the same. After your consultation, we create a custom treatment plan tailored specifically to you. We’ll explain every procedure, the timeframe, and the costs involved. We also offer flexible payment plans to help spread the cost of your dental care, making high-quality treatment accessible for everyone.

3. Your treatment experience
When you return for your treatment, your comfort is our priority. We utilise the latest digital dentistry techniques to make procedures more efficient and less invasive. Whether you are with us for a routine filling or a complex cosmetic transformation, our clinicians are trained to support even the most nervous patients.

4. Long-term maintenance
Our commitment to you doesn’t end when the treatment does. We want you to keep your healthy smile for life. Through regular check-ups and hygiene appointments, we keep a close eye on your oral health, preventing problems before they start.

Why your oral health matters

It is an interesting time for dentistry in Scotland. According to the latest data from Public Health Scotland (published in February 2026), an estimated 96.3% of the Scottish population is now registered with an NHS dentist. This is a testament to how much we value our dental health as a nation. However, registration is only the first step, and participation and regular attendance are what truly keep those smiles healthy!

As a leading Aberdeen dentist, we are dedicated to helping those statistics stay high by providing a range of dental services under one friendly roof.

Comprehensive care for every need

We offer a wide variety of treatments to ensure that every member of the family is looked after:

  • General Dentistry: From routine examinations and scale and polishes to root canal therapy and white fillings, we cover all the essentials of oral health. If you need a simple check-up or a dental restoration, we have you covered.
  • Cosmetic Dentistry: If you’re looking to enhance your appearance, we offer professional teeth whitening, veneers, and composite bonding. We even use Digital Smile Design so you can see your potential results before we even begin! You can choose from a singular treatment or combine treatments for a total smile transformation.
  • Dental Implants: For those missing teeth, our dental implant clinic provides a permanent, natural-looking solution that restores both function and confidence. Dr Geoff Gordon holds three implant dentistry diplomas and has helped many patients eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
  • Orthodontics: We offer modern straightening solutions like Invisalign® treatment and fixed braces to help you achieve a perfectly aligned smile. This is not just aesthetically pleasing but enables you to clean your teeth more easily, so is better for your overall oral health.
