Dr Alistair McPhail graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1989 and has dedicated his career to clinical dentistry ever since. After a year in hospital practice, he moved into general practice and in 1998 purchased the practice, establishing the foundations of the patient-focused care it is known for today.
Having owned and led the practice for many years, Alistair later passed the ownership to Sam and Chris, ensuring continuity for patients while remaining a key part of the clinical team. Many of his patients have been under his care for more than 25 years — a testament to the trust and long-term relationships he has built.
With over three decades of experience, Alistair brings exceptional depth of knowledge and clinical judgement to his work. He has a special interest in implant dentistry and has placed over 3,000 dental implants, restoring everything from single missing teeth to complex full-arch cases.
Alongside implant treatment, he provides cosmetic dentistry, including clear aligner therapy, surgical dentistry and comprehensive general care for patients of all ages. He is particularly valued for his calm, methodical approach and his ability to manage complex or challenging cases with confidence.
Outside dentistry, Alistair enjoys football, golf, skiing, singing, aviation, and a good glass of wine or whisky.
