STAFF UPDATE

We are continuing to expand our practice to provide the best patient care.
Claire our dental nurse of 23years has moved to a new job away from dentistry. We would like to thank her for her years of dedication to the practice and we wish her well in her new position.


Kirsty has returned from maternity leave and is back front of house in reception.
Nadine will be going on maternity leave in May and her patients will be looked after by Erin who will be joining the practice.


Leigh will be returning to the practice from maternity leave in the Autumn.
We continue to educate, train and support all our staff to build the best team at Weir & McClafferty Dental Care.


We are working hard behind the scenes to enable continuation of an NHS dental service in this practice.


NHS dental services are undergoing reform with the NHS new model of care now delayed until November 2023. Meanwhile we are reliant on additional private income to run our business successfully. NHS care is still available while we await the new financial offer from Scottish Government. Many patients have expressed concern about the loss of NHS dentistry and we have calls every day from families in Inverclyde looking for an NHS dentist.


We have a private gold standard hygiene service in the practice.


The EMS guided biofilm therapy treatment is available most days. This treatment is available at £60.00 (all patients can trial this for £40.00).


We provide a full range of private treatments including implants, tooth whitening , composite bonding , Invisalign and  facial aesthetics. Please call for further information.

What Our Patients Say

Some Testimonials

“I have recently undergone the placement of two dental implants from Fergus. The care and commitment Fergus has shown me has been exceptional. From my initial consultation appointment with Fergus through to his personal aftercare post-surgery was second to none. I truly have gained a new found confidence in my smile and self-esteem following the initial trauma of losing my two teeth.”

“Very professional and friendly staff.  With Mrs Weir I lost my life-long fear of dentists”.

“The level of service that Fergus and his team provided exceeded expectations.   This is a fantastic practice with a extremely high level of patient care."

“I have lost count of the number of dentists I have seen over the years, all of whom made me feel uncomfortable and more self-conscious about my smile.  That was until I visited Mrs Weir and her team.   The whole experience from start to finish has been such a positive one.”

"The toys are great and I always get a sticker if I let the dentist see my teeth”
