ABOUT THE PRACTICE — ESTABLISHED FIVE DECADES AGO

Advanced dentistry, without leaving Lanark.

A multi-disciplinary clinic of advanced dentists, caring for the families of Lanark from one address for over fifty years. Implants, restorative, facial aesthetics and sleep medicine — specialist-level work, under one roof, by the clinicians who trained for it.

ONE ROOF, EVERY DISCIPLINE

A clinic of advanced dentists.

Most practices send you elsewhere for the hard cases. We’ve built the team so you don’t have to leave Lanark.

NHS & private

· advanced care for every patient

01
Implantology

Single teeth to full-arch, planned on CBCT and placed in-house with guided surgery.

Led by Mr A. Sutherland

02
Advanced Restorative
Full-mouth rehabilitation, worn and failing dentition, complex bite work.
03
Facial Aesthetics
Conservative, clinician-led treatments — anatomy is our day job.
04
Sleep Medicine
Bespoke Somnowell appliances for snoring and sleep apnoea, made to your bite.
05
General & Preventive

The everyday care that keeps it all healthy — NHS and private, same standard.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Three things, not negotiable.

Everything else about the practice has changed over fifty years. These three things never will.

01
Time, properly given
A first appointment runs to forty-five minutes — long enough to actually examine, listen and plan. Check-ups here aren’t a ten-minute conveyor belt; the work takes the time it needs.
02
The same faces, year on year
Continuity matters. Patients see the same clinician across decades — which is exactly how we’ve ended up caring for three generations of the same Lanark families.
03
A written plan, not a sales pitch
You leave every consultation with a written plan: what’s recommended, what it costs, what the alternatives are. You decide in your own time — not in the chair, not under pressure.
HOW WE GOT HERE

Half a century of dentistry, in one building.

5 Decades Ago

The doors open

Waterloo Dental is founded in Lanark and begins caring for the town's families — the same address it has operated from, without interruption, ever since.

2001

Implantology comes in-house

The principal qualifies in implant dentistry at UCL Eastman — one of the country's leading postgraduate schools. A quarter of a century on, he still places every fixture himself.

Today

Quietly modern

CBCT 3D imaging, guided surgery, digital impressions and sedation for nervous patients — and BIOHORIZONS implant systems chosen for their long-term evidence, not their marketing.

Today

A new chapter, same principle

Fresh investment, a refreshed team, and a deliberate narrowing of what we do well: implants, advanced restorative dentistry, facial aesthetics and sleep medicine. Joining the Saint Visage Dental Group gives us the backing of a wider clinical network — and changes nothing about how a Lanark patient is treated.

A WORD FROM THE PRINCIPAL

"I trained for a kind of dentistry you can't rush. Fifty years on this street has taught us the same lesson over and over — get the diagnosis right, give people the truth in writing, and the rest looks after itself."

Dr John Stewart · Principal & Implant Surgeon
THE TEAM

Advanced dentists, not a rota of locums.

No rotating locums, no anonymous chairs. The clinician who plans your treatment is the one who carries it out.

NHS roots, advanced ambitions. We still see NHS patients — but every clinician here has trained well beyond the basics, and the practice is built around the kind of advanced, multi-disciplinary dentistry most patients would otherwise travel to a city for.

VISIT THE PRACTICE

Fifty years in, still taking new patients.

We keep our books deliberately small. If you’re looking for a practice that treats your mouth like it belongs to a person — not a schedule — we’d be glad to meet you.
