Smiles We’ve Made

High Speed Braces™

Treatment to straighten twisted or over-lapping teeth

Porcelain Veneers

Ideal to fix worn teeth, discoloured teeth, chips and cracks

SmileFast Veneers

A fast and affordable way to transform your front teeth

What treatments are traditionally included as part of a full smile makeover?

SmileFast

What is SmileFast?

SmileFast is the ground-breaking new development in Smile Design and the Provision of Smile Makeovers. The amazing new system brings together the three essential elements of modern cosmetic dentistry, which are orthodontics braces, ceramic and composite veneers.

SmileFast helps you to quickly visualise your planned new smile, understand the journey and then experience the smile-changing results. By cutting out most of the time-consuming preliminary stages for Dentists, SmileFast has simplified the process meaning you can reach the smile of your dreams at a price you can afford.

We start by taking the relevant photos and records. Then using the latest 3D-planning technology along with the unique SmileFast system, we design the perfect smile and outline possible treatment options.

The great thing about this system is that we can now place a custom-designed composite veneer smile makeover for the front 6 teeth in just one application. Meaning you walk away with the perfect smile in no time at all.

Veneers – porcelain or composite

What are Veneers?

A dental veneer is a shell, or layer of tooth-coloured porcelain or composite. It is placed over the front surface of your tooth to fix worn teeth, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, discolouration and chips or cracks. A crown is like a veneer, but covers the full circumference and biting surface of a tooth.

Teeth Straightening

Braces & Retainers

We use treatments that will perfect your teeth in just a matter of months! Our braces are so discreet, no one need know that you even have a brace in!

We offer 3 types of braces depending on your needs. We have tooth-coloured brackets and wires that fit on the front of your teeth. We have brackets and wires that fit behind your teeth, and we have clear plastic, removable aligners.

More about braces

Teeth Whitening

In practice or at home

The technique involves taking impressions of your teeth and getting laboratory made, custom bleaching trays. Tooth whitening gel is then applied to the trays which are fitted to the teeth.

The trays hold the gel on the teeth and with time the teeth lighten. The more often you apply the gel the lighter the teeth will go.

Cosmetic Bonding

What is it and why is it so popular?

Cosmetic bonding, often called resin bonding, is when a tooth-coloured resin is bonded to your teeth, then sculpted into the proper shape. The resin is a composite of liquid acrylic and tiny particles of glass. The composite resin forms a durable, stain-resistant surface that can be polished to mimic the texture of your natural teeth.

Composite bonding involves applying a tooth coloured composite resin material to your existing teeth. The resin is moulded by your dentist so that it creates a perfect match with your surrounding teeth. It is used across the world for whitening or masking discoloured teeth, improving cosmetic structure, filling dental gaps and repairing broken or fractured teeth. All in all, composite bonding is a perfect solution for solving minor dental imperfections.

Digital Smile Design (DSD)

Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a modern approach to cosmetic dentistry that uses advanced technology to design a customized, aesthetically pleasing smile for patients. It is a process that involves taking digital images and videos of the patient’s face, mouth, and teeth, and using specialized software to create a 3D model of the patient’s smile.

DSD allows dentists to analyze the patient’s facial and dental characteristics and create a virtual simulation of the final outcome, allowing the patient to see how their new smile will look before any treatment begins. This helps to ensure that the patient is satisfied with the end result and that the treatment plan is tailored to their specific needs and preferences.

The DSD process may include a variety of cosmetic dental treatments, such as teeth whitening, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, dental implants, and orthodontic treatment, among others. The goal of DSD is to create a natural-looking smile that complements the patient’s facial features and enhances their overall appearance and confidence.

DSD is becoming increasingly popular as patients seek more personalized, predictable, and effective cosmetic dental treatments. It allows dentists to provide a high level of care and precision, resulting in better outcomes and greater patient satisfaction.

Had a tooth infection emergency while on holidays. The receptionist got me an urgent appointment on New Years Eve. Dr. Sam quickly diagnosed the issue and extracted the tooth. I am grateful to him and Bethany for the expert service. I appreciate Dr. Sam walking through the options and the aftercare for next few days.Really great service from start to finishRegardsOliver McGeeTipperaryIreland

Oliver M.

Everyone at Links Dental Practice was just fantastic. From the moment I walked in on Monday to tell them what my predicament was until I walked out on Tuesday fully repaired they were just so professional.I cannot say enough and I will be eternal grateful to them for sorting me out before Xmas.Steve Levinson

Stephen L.

I required root canal treatment and an extraction. I was treated promptly and both jobs were completed quickly, efficiently and painlessly by Sam Lockhart. Moreover, my three visits were, if not fun, at least enjoyable. I was kept informed at all stages and entertained by Sam’s humour. This is dentistry at its best.

John G.

Recently attended for regular appointment with dental hygienist. Staff are always friendly and pleasant and I was seen on time. Clean bill of health was a bonus as well!

Karen E.

I had Invisalign, whitening, and veneers done at Links Dental with Dr. Sam Lockhart, and it was an incredible experience. I had struggled with my teeth for such a long time, but in less than a year, everything was fixed! The transformation is truly amazing, and I can’t thank Dr. Sam enough for his perfectionism and attention to detail throughout the process.All treatments were carried out to a high standard, and I am absolutely happy with the results. I’ve also had routine treatments at Links Dental, which were relaxed and completely pain-free. The team does everything to ensure your comfort by offering options to reduce discomfort, like headphones with music to block out the sound of the drill—perfect for anyone who feels uneasy at the dentist.For the first time, I’m no longer stressed about dental visits! I highly recommend Links Dental, and especially Dr. Sam Lockhart, for anyone looking for top-quality dental care.

Anna S.

Very pleased with the result of my treatmentI was always reluctant to smile as front teeth were unsightly. After 2 hours of pain free treatment the transformation was incredible

Heather S.

Links Dental is fantastic. My visits to the practice are always so comfortable and relaxing. The team are all wonderful and Dr Jasmin talks me through everything as she goes which I find extremely helpful. Couldn’t be happier with my treatment plan.

Kara T.

I’ve had a chipped tooth for a few years now and Dr. Sam asked me if I wanted to have this fixed up. It only took a short amount of time, no pain at all and I honestly can’t believe the difference it’s made to my smile! Brilliant!

David C.

A very pleasurable visit. (esp. to a dentist). Treatment was courteous and highly professional. Reception was friendly and appointment timing was spot on.

ian D.

My new dentist Jasmine wss friendly and welcoming.She took great trouble to check all my teeth (gently) and showed me them on a screen(fascinating) whilst explaining the work which needed to be done.Because I could clearly see my teeth..this all made sense to me.While lying back in the dentist's chair i also enjoyed watching a gorgeous travel film of Italy (no sound) which was v relaxing.I would highly recommend.

Ali O.

My experience with Dr. Sam has been outstanding. From my first visit, his warm welcome and the clinic’s calming atmosphere put me at ease. Dr. Sam is patient, thorough, and always takes the time to explain each step, which makes a real difference. His attention to detail and genuine care create a truly positive experience every time, and I always leave feeling satisfied and confident that I’m in expert hands. I’m still continuing my treatment with him, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him more to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate dentist. He’s completely transformed my view of dental care, and I’m incredibly grateful!Tesnim 🙂

Dorr L.

Thank you for removing my tooth. It involved a lot of work which was carefully administered by the dental team. Although apprehensive I was put at ease by the courteous and professional approach.

John E.

Sam ( dentist) and Moon (hygienist) gave 5 star treatment today. So at ease answering questions, sorting issues and providing advice. A fabulous dental experience, so refreshing!

Jo L.

Mr Ross has been an excellent dentist and will be greatly missed. His honest guidance in treatment has been so helpful and his integrity and compassionate approach, an example of true commitment to his patients. Thank you Mr Ross!

Sarah S.

Had a great experience at Links dental practice. Moon was so friendly and professional! Pain-free hygienist appointment which surprised me! Would highly recommend!

Anna H.

Have been a patient of Links Dental practice, and Mr (Dr) Ross for more years than I care to remember, excellent treatment. Thank you, good luck for the future.

Paul L.

A crown popped out after a couple of days of tender niggling leaving a hole into the root. I was very fortunate to get an ‘unscheduled’ appointment the day after calling in about it, though not with my usual dentist as she was on annual leave.Dr/Mr Ross was so kind and gentle, probing in exactly the right spots with his instrument- I knew I was in the hands of an experienced expert. He took time to check every detail and make sure the reinserted crown was sitting just right, whilst explaining every step. I just felt he didn’t miss a thing, even though it was a simple enough dentistry job. I’ve had crowns reinserted before but this time was memorable.. excellent dentistry. Thankyou, Mr Ross!

Alice B.

I have been coming to Links Dental Practice for 32 years!!, since the beginning of the Practice, and today was my last check up with Mr Ross before his upcoming retirement. Edward Ross has looked after my family’s teeth exclusively and expertly all that time, and it’s a very welcoming environment to come to.Thank you for everything, happy retirement, and we’ll be continuing with our dental care at Links Dental Practice.Anita Cullinan

anita C.

Great service from Apil and Rita. My first major dental work in a long time so was quite apprehensive and they made the process as pleasant as possible.

Graham H.

Shiona is always exceptionally professional and puts me at my ease at all times,ensuring I know what is happening and that I am pain free I feel very lucky to have her as my dentist

Susan R.

Incredibly good results working with Sam Lockhart using clear aligners to straighten my wonky teeth - 7 months and we’re done and dusted, my teeth are lovely and straight, I’m way less awkward about my smile . Would highly recommend.

HANNAH K.

Very professional. I got a filling today and was very fast and only felt pain one time then was painless for the rest of the appointment. Would recommend this dentist if you don’t usually like dentists.

Emma M.

Excellent practice and dental work. I was fortunate enough to be treated by Dr. Lockhart when I lost a filling during my holiday in Edinburgh. If I lived here, Links Dental would definitely be my first choice due to the highly skilled and kind and pain-free care.Thank you

Venessa B

I have been a customer of Links Dental practice since the late eighties. During that time, I have been treated exceptionally well, with my teeth maintained in very good condition. I wish to thank Dr Ross for his professionalism and I also wish him a happy retirement, which I believe will be happening towards the end of the year.

William D.

I have just had quite a large procedure of having a new front crown fitted, Jasmine was absolutely wonderful, very attentive and pain free she made sure that I was absolutely happy before we continued, thank you so much Jasmine for making a big procedure so much easier. I would also like to thank Bethany who assisted Jasmine all throughout my treatment and was absolutely wonderful, you will make a good Dentist Bethany. I absolutely love my new smile. Many thanks, Colin

Colin F.

Dentist Jasmine Tolat is a great dentist to go to with kids, she just seems to know how to get them relaxed. As adults very happy with her too, gives advice, very considerate and really cares. Def recommend Links.

Diane W.

I was very well looked after very helpful and friendly staff & attentive & professionalalso explained what procedures they were doing. & how I can keep my teeth & gums in good health.Mr George. Henderson.

george H.

All of the staff are always really friendly and professional. This morning I saw Moon, the Hygienist, very ably assisted by Bethany, the Dental technician. They worked together effortlessly, never bumping into each other and making the whole procedure pain free and comfortable. I never felt like I was drowning, my gums and tongue where never sucked into the aspirator, and my teeth feel great afterwards. I am really lucky to have such a talented team so close to my home.

danielle G.

Having just had a wisdom tooth removed I can honestly say the whole experience was most definitely a positive one. Mr. Ross took lots of time to explain the procedure knowing i was somewhat nervous. After a short period of time the offending tooth was removed completely painlessly. I am so impressed. I can only speak highly of Links Dental Practice and all of the friendly and helpful staff. I can thoroughly recommend them....Gerry Martin

Gerry M.

I always feel looked after and more importantly experience a level of detailed examination and subsequent treatment that assures I get what’s needed. As someone who’s scared of dentists, they remove the fear. Thank you.

Dawnne M.

My dental health is so, so much better now than before I started attending the Links Dental Practice. The staff are very kind and careful about the treatment and always seem to be on time for appointments. I can't rate them more highly. All

Alan B.

As always, impeccable service, not just in terms of the actual treatment but with a friendly and efficient reception staff. I've lived long enough to have had some pretty dire early encounters with Scottish dentistry, so this quality of experience, delivered with patience and with highly professional standards is much appreciated.

Colin S.

I had my first 2 fillings this week with dentist Sam Lockhart. I was worried they would hurt as I've never had any procedures done - I can honestly say there was zero pain and it was a great experience. I'll never be worried about dental work again. Thank you!

Kim W.

I've only had 2 courses of treatment so far from Jasmine but have found her to be friendly, efficient and informative. She conducts her business very professionally but with a very good 'bedside manner', thus making the patient feel relaxed and confident. A very positive experience so far with my new dentist - keep up the good work!I originally posted the above about a year ago but can now confirm (having had several courses of treatment) that Jasmine has lived up to my expectations and initial assessment. She is a very good dentist, has a great reassuring manner and I have great respect for her. Jasmine and Bethany are a very good team, conducting business in an efficient and friendly way. All good!

Ken M.

Ed is the best dentist that I’ve ever had and I’ve had many after being given Tetracycline as a child which took the enamel from my adult teeth. He is very sympathetic to those people who are scared of the needle and drill. He works fast and efficiently whilst still allowing the patient to rest. I really can’t fault anything. He explains every procedure and helps you to make an informed decision which is best for you. He truly is the best.

Sue V.

I have been attending Ed and April's practice - Links Dental Practice, for many years, both as an NHS and private patient and have always been happy and satisfied with the attention and procedures I received. I have always been well looked after and even today they were able to take me for an emergency appointment, having only called them this morning. Great 5 star service always.

Julie A.

Jasmine made a lovely job of my crown. She was both friendly and professional. I always felt I was in capable hands and she explained each stage of the process and what I could expect. Very happy.

Hilary F.

I was initially sceptical about signing up for regular visitsto the dental hygeinist but am now an enthusiastic convert. Moon goes the extra mile, explaining clearly whats going on, taking the necessary action and then focussing on making my teeth look less grotty. Worth every penny.

Mary P.

Been using these guys for best part of 40 years. Brilliant place, same dentist for the whole time. Recently changed from NHS to private but still great with Edward Ross.

David W.

I finished my teeth alignment with Dr. Jasmine today. I am so excited to see my teeth neat and aligned, and everything goes smoothly where they are supposed to be. I would like to express my biggest thanks to Dr. Jasmine who is diligent, professional and highly experienced in her expertise. She is also a kind and patient dentist that kept track on all the details at every stage of my treatment. I also appreciate all the help and care from the whole team. Many thanks to Shufan and all the members on the reception who always contacted me on time to keep track on the treatment. Thanks to all of them, I finally got my biggest smile again with my aligned teeth. Hope the work of the whole team is going on well.
