Dentist Near Law: Eight Miles Away, with NHS Places Open
We're not in Law itself. Our dentist in Lanark is about 8 miles away by road, down the A73 through Carluke, and the drive is normally under 20 minutes. If that trip works for you, here's what is at the other end: NHS registration is open for adults and children alike, alongside private care. There's a hygienist on the team, a CT scanner in the building, and two dental surgeons for every full-arch implant case.We're in Lanark, about 8 miles from Law through Carluke. NHS places are open for adults and children.

Getting Here From Law
About 8 miles by road. On public transport, Carluke is where you change.
By car. Head south on the A73 and stay on it through Carluke into Lanark. Outside the rush hour it's usually under 20 minutes. The two council car parks nearest us are at Castlegate and at Bernards Wynd (the entrance is on South Vennel), where two disabled bays sit by the close leading to the High Street. Short stays can use the High Street's time-limited bays.
By bus and train. Stuart's Coaches' X9 runs between Law and Carluke on weekdays, roughly every 70 minutes, taking around 10 minutes. In Carluke, change to a ScotRail train, which reaches Lanark in 10 to 11 minutes, or to First's 243 bus to Lanark Interchange. Some JMB Travel 41A journeys go from Law straight to Lanark in about 20 minutes. Lanark station and the Interchange are both by Bannatyne Street, and the practice is a short walk up from there. Timetables change, so check SPT or Traveline Scotland on the day.
Access. If steps or stairs are difficult for you, mention it when booking and we'll plan the visit around that. After IV sedation you'll need someone to drive you home to Law.
Registering From Law
Living in Law doesn't stop you joining us: there's no catchment for NHS dentistry in Scotland, and both towns come under NHS Lanarkshire. Ask us to ring you back about an NHS place, or send the names of everyone in the household on WhatsApp, and we'll set up first appointments, back to back if you like.
Prefer private care? Your first private examination costs £70 including X-rays, and our dental plans spread routine care into a monthly payment.
In Pain?
Phone 01555 662441 early in the day. Urgent appointments are £85 for anyone, registered here or not, and we try to see you the same day. Outside our hours, NHS 24 on 111 handles urgent dental problems across Lanarkshire.
We're open on weekdays only, so for an evening or weekend problem 111 is the number.
