Associate Dentist

Established in 2016, Scottish Dental Care is family-owned and operated by Dr Philip Friel and Christopher Friel. We are a clinically led and patient-focused dental provider, offering high-quality dental care to our patients across Scotland. Our expanding group of clinics across the country, our patients, and our teams are at the heart of everything we do.

Since 2016, Scottish Dental Care has had a presence in the beautiful location of Dumfries. We have recently moved to a brand-new purpose-built clinic in the town centre offering 6 surgeries in a state-of-the-art facility with CT scanning, digital intra-oral scanning, as well as brand new equipment and surroundings.

Dumfries Dental Clinic & Implant Centre offers dental implants, Invisalign, composite bonding, advanced private restorative dentistry, facial aesthetics, as well as general dentistry. We are currently moving towards a completely private set-up within this clinic. You will join an excellent, experienced, and local dental team who offer first-rate dental care in a fully digitalised and modern clinic in the heart of Dumfries.

Located towards the Scottish borders, Dumfries is an area that boasts breathtaking landscapes, a rich history, and a warm community spirit. The region has something for everyone and is perfect for those who love the great outdoors due to the miles of stunning coastline, rolling hills, and lush forests. Despite its rural setting, Dumfries is a vibrant cultural hub that hosts a range of festivals and events throughout the year.

Benefitting from excellent transport links, the region is easily accessible by road and rail, and the local airport offers flights to major UK cities, meaning you can live in a peaceful, rural setting without sacrificing modern conveniences.
