A 'rising star' in the dental industry is 'extremely excited' to be joining a Glasgow clinic. 

Dr Graeme Ker, who is one of the few dentists in Scotland capable of performing full arch implant therapies, will now be based in Scottish Dental Care's Hyndland practice.

Since graduating at the top of his class from the British Academy of Implant and Restorative Dentistry Academy in 2021, Graeme has extensive experience in all aspects of implants and cosmetic dentistry. 

The 35-year-old has since turned his focus exclusively to implants and has performed around 150 procedures since 2021. 

As well as being based in Hyndland, Graeme will also be offering treatments in the Oban clinic to save patients from travelling for his services. 

He said: “I’ve always been passionate about seeing a patient's care through from beginning to end, which drove me to having a special interest in dental implants. 

“Implants are not just a cosmetic fix but can transform people’s way of life. 

“I’m extremely excited to have joined Scottish Dental Care, the values placed on development while delivering such high-quality care is inspiring.”  

The dental group has also appointed Dr Lorna Cox, who will be based in the newly acquired Belhaven Dental Clinic in Port Glasgow. 

Lynn Hood, chief executive of Scottish Dental Care, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome both Graeme and Lorna, their appointments come at a very exciting time for us. 

“Their combined experience will bolster our roster of dentists across Scotland, expanding our offering of treatments at our clinics in Glasgow and Oban, ensuring more people have access to high-quality dental care.” 

It comes after we reported that the group expanded a dental clinic elsewhere in the city in a £400,000 project.

Cardonald Dental Clinic was expanded to include three new surgeries and bring on board two new dentists to bring the staff count to 10.

The move will mean the clinic can welcome up to 2000 patients, adding to the original 5500.
