Dr Melanie Gray

Dr Melanie Gray graduated with commendation from the University of Glasgow in 2007 and has been caring for patients ever since. After owning and running her own family dental practice for 12 years, she now works in her hometown, looking after patients in the community she knows so well.

Melanie has always believed that dentistry is about much more than teeth. Making patients feel comfortable, relaxed and cared for sits at the heart of how she works, and in 2018 her practice was named Scottish Practice of the Year for Patient Care.

She enjoys every part of dentistry, from everyday general care to cosmetic treatment, smile makeovers and Invisalign. She takes time to understand what each patient would like to achieve, always aiming for results that look natural. Most recently she completed a year-long postgraduate diploma in Minimally Invasive Aesthetic Dentistry with Fresh Dental in London, which focuses on natural-looking results while keeping as much healthy tooth as possible.

Melanie is also an advanced medical aesthetics practitioner and teaches facial aesthetics to other healthcare professionals. Whether you are coming in for a routine dental examination or a bigger change to your smile, she gives honest advice, listens, and makes sure you feel at ease.

Why Patients Choose Dr Gray

Patients often say they value Melanie's friendly, reassuring manner and the time she takes to listen and put them at ease. They appreciate her honest advice, gentle approach and skilled hands, and the confidence of knowing she always has their best interests at heart.

Melanie lives in Lanark with her husband and son, and is a bit of a homebird at heart: she is happiest spending time with family, walking the dog and relaxing at home. She does love a good holiday, though, especially a trip to Disney, where she is always happy to embrace a little magic.
