About Dr Melanie
Cosmetic and restorative dentistry, Invisalign and facial aesthetics, alongside everyday dental care for the whole family.
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.
