Services
Our team have all been selected for both their technical abilities but more importantly their ability to really listen to their patients. EH Dental Care is a relatively young dental practice, opening in 2015. We have grown rapidly but throughout want to create a place that and your family can call your dental home.
The team aim to provide most dental services in house with Family and General dentistry at the heart of what we do. In particular we focus on prevention and helping you discover the right ways to avoid dental treatment. If you are anxious or have not been to see the dentist in a while our team we would love to meet you.
NHS Dental Charges are set nationally and many patients are exempt from these NHS Dental charges. Our dentists will always explain what they find in your mouth, discuss your options and choices with you and provide a full printed estimate before to completing any work. The NHS is designed to provide a service for everyone and its remit is limited to treatment "necessary for health and function" if you do have specific preferences that are more cosmetic in nature then your dentist can discuss this with you.
We want you to actually enjoy coming to see our team at EH Dental Care. We have built a practice around what is right for you as a patient rather than what suits us. The whole team have been chosen for their enthusiasm, knowledge and ability. Private dentistry allows us to offer you options that are not currently available within the NHS in situations where you would like that little bit extra.
For children, we offer a gentle and caring introduction to dental health, we recommend starting your child visits from 6 months of age. While at this stage it is unlikely that we will have very much to look at, it starts to get your child used to somewhere that may be new and a bit unusual to them.

Great for anxious patients! I've in my adult years been quite the anxious patient when it comes to going to the dentist, but Melissa (dentist) and Hayley (nurse) are both absolutely wonderful. They're both super nice and welcoming and never hesitate to answer any questions I might have. They have always been very gentle with me, which definitely helps keep my anxiety at manageable level and they are great at adapting where possible to make the experience as comfortable as possible for their patients. I highly recommend this practise as well as their dentists and nurses, especially for anxious patients.

Just amazing. Very attentive, polite and doing everything for your best interest! As many, I have huge anxiety going to dentist and am very sensitive so the always positive attitude of the staff is always assuring I'm in good hands! From start to finish, Dr Helen McEldowney and her assistants make you feel calm and relaxed. I love that each time dentist is walking through the steps she is taking, and doing everything to save your tooth!

I had few fillings done now, and no problems at all! On contrary, i had extra care/appointment just to save my tooth from root canal treatment. Today, I been extra sensitive and dentist and her assistant handled it so professionally and at ease, with fun! It also says a lot when you see great communication between staff members! You could see that all staff members love what they are doing and want to do it properly : Just wanted to say a huge thank you for you and your team!

I would like to ask apology my previously reviews. I have been rude no excuse. It is happened because of some miscommunication and misunderstanding, but I asked apology from the dentist and the manager too and I hope we can moving forward. I have been today again and Dr. McEldowney was really nice and professional, we had a chat and I hope we cleared this and she will treat me in the future. Apology again and thank you

I had several fillings that had to be done! Not only I have received a very quick appointment from the friendly ladies at the reception, but I also experienced the best service that you could get from a dentist. I was treated by Dr. Helen McEldowney, an extremely talented and highly professional dentist. The work that she and her assistants have done, is amazing and was a total success. Dr. Helen McEldowney is a fantastic dentist!

She is very friendly, explains every step thoroughly and always works towards the best result possible. She is even able to save a tooth with her special technique to avoid a root canal treatment. This was by far the best experience that I ever had with a dentist, and I highly recommend Dr. Helen McEldowney and this Dental Practice to anyone!

Again so happy with Melissa and her assistant, they're obviously professional but also extremely kind. They go the extra mile wherever they can. Looking forward to taking my daughter to her first dental appointment next month.

I was so impressed by EH Dental Care, they rung me up a week after I'd left my details and registered me as an NHS patient, offering me an appointment as there'd been a last minute cancellation. Dr. Melissa Manson was incredibly friendly, as were the rest of the team

I've just de-registered. The best dentist to work at that place was named Orla. Wee Irish lass. Pure artist! Understanding and so compassionate. I've had 3 dentist since I registered. First one was a joke, left me a mess. Even Orla was like wow. The last dentist was the final straw. I'd payed my late fees with my other dentists. That was our business.

He seemed to think it was his and threatened to chuck me out of the practice for missing one appointment with him? (The day I missed it, I was with my mum and ambulance crew, she was taking a stroke. So thanks for that) My reply was what about all the cancellations I've had from use?! I never once brought it up or charged use for it?! I felt so unwelcome I decided to finally leave the place of convenience cause it's never welcoming anymore.

Colin is a fantastic dentist. He is reassuring and explains what dental work needs to be done clearly. He has stopped me being frightened of going to the dentist. The reason for only three out of five stars however, is the receptionist. She seems to be always short tempered and rude. I think it takes a little common sense to realise I might struggle to speak clearly when I have just finished having a root canal, and there is no need to borderline shout at me because I'm struggling to articulate from behind a mask.

6 stars, Cheers Orla for making the dental experience more comfortable than going to the dentist has ever been.

I visit the EH Dental Care for first time some months ago, after some extractions I have in another European Country. All of my life I was having bad quality of teeth and issues and now half of my teeth are gone. I've asked the Doctor for Xrays to check if I have any teeth remnants in my gums and she refuse, she told me that she can see clearly I haven't any remnants. after some time, I go to an Audiology (NHS) for another health issue and they told me to ask from my Dentist to check if I have Tendomascular Disorder and also to take Xrays to check my head bones and joints.

I told that to the Dentist and she check me but (for second time) she deny to took Xrays from me. After that, Dentist build a Partial Denture for my lost teeth. Today I told to the Dentist that I feel pain in my gum and I believe I have a teeth remnant. She check me with hand and she told me I'm wrong, it's just the gum and I feel pain for no reason but if I want she can take an Xray only for that part of my gum to check if I have a remnant or not.

Then I ask her if she could take full Xrays for all my mouth to check for other remnants of my lost teeths. Her answer was just a "No", nothing more than that, really! I accept that (what else can I do? I'm not the Dentist and I cannot decide for myself) and I let her took Xray only for that part of my gum. AND SHE DISCOVERS A TEETH REMNANT! I believe full Xrays exist for a reason.

If 9-10 extracted teeth or Audiology's request aren't good reasons for you, If you have a taboo with full Xrays or you don't know how to use the Xray device, then I'm sorry I will not visit you again because I'm a human being and I need a Dentist who really cares for my teeth health. It's unacceptable to build a partial denture before make sure the patient don't have any teeth remnants from extractions.

What kind of dentist are you? And why this attitude of ignorance every time I'm asking you for Xrays? My teeth deserves something better. I need a dentist who take full Xrays of my mouth to check for teeth remnants and BELIEVE ME it's not something hard to find.

Amazing service and can’t describe what an improvement I got in my teeth. I’ve been a bit phobic about finding a new dentist but can honestly say I was put totally at ease!

Genuinely the best dentist I have ever had. Orla and her team are very attentive, caring and professional. I needed a fair amount of work done which they sorted out for me within a week. I am exceptionally pleased with the service I received and have very much enjoyed the friendly nature of the staff and the fantastic results of the work they did for me. I would highly recommend going here.

I never thought I'd be at a point in my life where I would rave about a dentist, yet here we are. I walked into this surgery with a mess of a mouth after years of letting dodgy dentists ruin my teeth and a perpetual fear of letting anyone near my mouth. It was the best thing I did. After a whole program of work, my mouth is now getting back to being healthy and I honestly can't thank them enough.

Orla & Hayley are a solid team who made me feel insanely comfortable from the get go and constantly watched out in case I started to slip into my old 'get away from me' ways. In the end, and as much as I enjoyed spending time with you guys, I'm now very glad I only need to see you every 6 months

Dr Orla Malone has to be the most patient, kind and caring dentist you could meet. I look forward to my visit. We are always taken on time and Orla and her team never rush and make you feel so welcome. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Any work I have had done is excellent and the price is well displayed and the bill is never a surprise.

Hi, I have been to EH Dental Care at Edinburgh for three scheduled visits so far (once for an initial examination and then twice for some cosmetic work - mainly fillings). The patient care from Orla and her colleagues during those visits have been first-class, from making me feel at ease once I sat down on that dentist chair and by keeping me informed and allowing me to give feedback during the process ensuring that I was satisfied with my teeth before I leave.

I am exceedingly happy with my new teeth. I have been to other Dentists in the past who just rush you through so they can make their next appointment and I was really pleased when Orla was genuinely interested in how my teeth felt afterwards. I would highly recommend using EH Dental and having Orla as your main dentist. Other great benefits from this Dentist practice included receiving email and text reminders and their opening hours are perfect with their late evenings and Saturday opening times.

Best dentist in town! Oral is just lovely and so is her assistant. Unfortunately I fell asleep and missed my dentist appointment this afternoon ! Would recommend this practice to everyone. I have a fear of the dentist but these lovely ladies make it so relaxing.
Kit Willmott
A fantastic service all round with very caring and professional staff. I have been unfortunate with tooth issues since I was a teen and no dentist has been able to sort them until now. Orla and her team having a very caring nature to them - going above and beyond what you'd expect, and genuinely have a fantastic attitude with their patients. If I only needed more work done I'd go again! Would highly recommend.
