Our new home in Bruntsfield.

For over a century, our clinic at 189 Bruntsfield Place has been home to great dentistry.

Generations have passed through these doors in pursuit of healthier smiles. And while much has changed since those early days, we like to think we’re honouring that legacy — just with a new perspective.

We’re excited to be opening our doors this summer.

Our Treatments

our clinic in the making

Chapter One is the start of a new era in patient‑centred care, where your journey to a confident, healthy smile begins. From that first childhood check‑up to maintaining form, function and confidence, we're here to listen and support your goals.

We understand that visiting the dentist can be daunting for some — that's why we’ve gone above and beyond to ensure Chapter One feels like a home away from home.

Now, we’re excited to open our doors and welcome you to a new kind of dentistry that puts care and community first.
