ESTABLISHED 1971

Lanark's NHS dentist for over fifty years.

We’ve cared for Lanark since 1971 — through three generations of the same families. A waitlist is only worth joining if the practice behind it will still be here when your place comes up. We have been, for half a century, and we’ll be here for the next.

What people usually ask.

Can't find your answer?
Call reception on 01555 662220  — Mon–Fri, 9–5. We’re happy to talk it through.

Lanark's NHS dental capacity is limited, and we've been the area's NHS provider for over 50 years — so our list of registered patients is large. We absorb new NHS registrations as chair time opens up, typically when a new dentist joins or capacity expands. A wait of up to 2 years is the honest figure across most NHS practices in the area right now.

Our NHS list is currently full, with a typical wait of up to 2 years. You can call 01555 662220 any time and reception will check your position on the list.
