SMILE GALLERY

A collection of smiles from our patients.

Ross

Whitening & Composite Bonding

by Dr John McAleavey

The symmetry of this smile has been restored with a two week course of whitening and a single appointment of composite bonding.

Rory

Whitening & Composite Bonding

by Dr John McAleavey

Rory was unhappy with the colour of his teeth and the gaps between them. A two week course of whitening and one appointment of composite bonding has given us this amazing result for him.

Fred

Orthodontics & Composite Bonding

by Dr Chris Fowles

Wanted to improve tooth position, shade and aesthetics. Aligners for around 1.5 years. Composite bonding on incisors to level. Some whitening also.

Julie

Porcelain Veneers

by Dr John McAleavey

These lower teeth have been rejuvenated with porcelain veneers to give them a boost of brightness and restore those worn edges!

James

Porcelain Veneers

by Dr John McAleavey

James had worn his teeth down to a level where they could hardly be seen in his smile. Porcelain restorations have been used to rebuild the teeth. Not only does the patient have a fuller smile, he is able to chew better due to the teeth being the correct size and shape! 

Stephen

Supporting your health and smile is our passion.

by Dr Neeraj Puri and Dr Pedro Fiuza

This patient had a missing tooth with bone loss, as can be seen by the concavity in the gum. He did not want a soft tissue procedure to improve the soft tissue shape. He opted for an alternative skin graft from a bottle. The implant was placed, and the graft was placed. Dr Pedro Fiuza then used a 3D tooth scanner to order a custom-made ceramic tooth. The x-rays show digital planning to allow accurate and optimal placement of the implant so that it can shoulder the maximal load placed on the crown. The first x-ray shows the digital planning, while the second x-ray shows the final result.

Lillian

Orthodontics & Composite Bonding

by Dr Chris Fowles

Teenage patient with spacing – keen to improve aesthetics. Completed 8 months of clear aligners. Finished with some composite bonding on the lateral incisors.

Lindsay

Porcelain Veneers

by Dr John McAleavey

Porcelain veneers have been used to roll back the years on this worn down smile.

Steven

Dental Implants and Restoration for Two Missing Teeth

by Dr Pedro Fiuza and Dr Neeraj Puri

Two teeth were missing. The patient had implants placed using an X-guide to control the different angulations of the roots. Dr Pedro Fiuza then restored these.

Michaela

Uneneven Gum Position and Composite Bonding

by Dr Neeraj Puri and Dr Chris Fowles

Positioning and Composite Bonding
This lady was referred to address her uneven gum position prior to composite bonding by Dr CF. The gums are the backdrop to a beautiful even smile. Addressing the gums first allows the teeth to have an even and symmetrical proportion when either composite bonding or veneers are done afterwards.

Maria

Post-Treatment Results

by Dr Pedro Fiuza

Lauren

Teeth Whitening, Composite Bonding, and Clear Aligners

by Dr Chris Fowles

Positioning and Discolouration
This client was dissatisfied with the shape of her upper right canine tooth and had previously had composite bonding.
To address the issue, we aligned the lower teeth to create space and applied composite bonding to the upper canine and lateral incisors to balance the shapes after some professional teeth whitening.

Stuart

Laser Gum Sculpting

by Dr Neeraj Puri

Isabelle

Alignment and Teeth Whitening

by Dr Chris Fowles

Positioning and Discolouration
This client was concerned about the positioning and colour of their teeth. Dr Chris Fowles used aligners to straighten their teeth and professional teeth whitening to address the discolouration.

Niall

Implant-Supported Denture

by Dr Neeraj Puri

Denture supported by Implants
Suffering from years of severe gum disease resulted in the teeth drifting and becoming crowding. This gentleman felt uncomfortable with his smile. The problems had persisted for so long that there was limited bone left. A denture supported by implants was deemed to the best option.

Elaine

Treatment

by Dr Pedro Fiuza

Peter

Closing Spaces, Whitening and Composite

by Dr Chris Fowles

Closing Spaces
For this case we moved the top teeth to close the space followed by some light whitening and a bit of composite to smooth a worn edge.

James

Composite Bonding

by Dr Chris Fowles

Black Triangles
Patient was due to get married and was concerned about the black spaces between his upper front teeth (black triangles).
This can be due to previous gum disease, recession or general tooth shape.

In this case we treated using composite resin and a bioclear matrix to fill in this space and achieve a natural contour to the teeth.

John

Restorative Dentistry

by Dr Chris Fowles

Composite Edge bonding
A fracture of an old restoration, mimicking the original horizontal lines.
Ideally we would use orthodontics to move the lower teeth so this tooth could match it’s partner, something to consider in the future.

Helen

Implant-Supported Denture

by Dr Neeraj Puri

Denture supported by Implants
This lady was wearing a denture for many years that she was trying to hold in with denture glue. It kept moving and this affected her confidence to communicate during her exhibitions as she is an artist. She was worried about having treatment because she wasn’t sure if she could manage it. We help her through the stages until she was rewarded with fantastic smile with teeth that don’t move anymore.

Dawn

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

by Dr John McAleavey

Full Mouth Rehabilitation
This treatment is a full mouth rehabilitation to replace old crowns and gaps on the lower teeth. Used a mixture of crowns on the upper teeth and composite bonding on lower teeth

Fiona

Composite Bonding

by Dr John McAleavey

Composite Bonding
Composite bonding on upper centrals to disguise brown discolourations.

Caroline

Single Implant

by Dr Neeraj Puri

Front tooth implant supported crown
This lady had a root fracture of the central incisor, with pus coming out of the gum. She wanted an implant supported tooth and not have a gap at any time of the process. This was challenging as she has a high smile line and due to her busy schedule could not have multiple visits. All the procedures were delivered in one visit. This was made possible by using x-guide and waterlase technology.

Nicholas

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

by Dr John McAleavey

Full Mouth Rehabilitation
This treatment used porcelain to restore a very worn dentition

Fiona

Composite Bonding

by Dr Neeraj Puri

Composite Edge Bonding
This lady had multiple worn teeth which continued to chip away. Without treatment, these teeth would eventually be lost. Rather than wait until the teeth needed to be crowned or had to be taken out, we were able to follow a conservative approach.
Composite bonding using high grade materials of different colours which mimicked her natural teeth were applied, built and then sculpted.

The result: she has her young adult teeth back!

Elaine

Composite bonding, Veneer, Crown and Implant supported crown.

by Dr Neeraj Puri

Composite bonding, Veneer, Crown and Implant supported crown.
This lady had a missing tooth which she wanted to replace with, and implant supported solution. She also wanted to take the opportunity to address the appearance of the other front three teeth. This can be challenging when lots of different procedures need to be carried out especially with a high lip where everything is on display. Here a laser guided implant placement using waterlase and x-guide, composite bonding, and a crown were created for the new smile. The end a seamless natural result which markedly enhances the tired smile.

Michael

Aligners and Whitening

by Dr Chris Fowles

Aligners and Whitening
Resolving a deep bite and some significant anterior crowding. There was no desire for bonding or further cosmetic enhancement so we kept it simple.

Linda

Implant supported Bridge

by Dr Neeraj Puri

Full Jaw bridge supported by Implants
This lady was struggling with failing teeth and implants which caused an embarrassment to smile as well as difficulty with eating choices. She felt that she looked after her appearance well but that her smile did not reflect this. She had little bone left but we were still able to place implants and give her a fix bridge which is attached to the implants. Now her smile reflects her outer appearance.

Being very badly dental phobic before I joined the practice, Neeraj and his team have turned around not just the appearance of my teeth but my anxiety.

Dr Neeraj Puri

Dentist

GDC No: 71646

I qualified from the University of Glasgow in 1996 and work between Integrated Dentalcare and Inverleith Dentalcare.


Dentistry can be a daunting and stressful experience for many people. They want to feel trust and have the opportunity to discuss their concerns and needs without feeling rushed. It is important that we recognise that we are treating people not teeth. This is what I excel at.


I have over 20 years experience, supporting clients who are looking to have their amalgam fillings replaced safely by non-mercury based options as part of this I work with numerous therapists who support patients on their detox journey.


With over fifteen years experience in the replacement of missing teeth with metal free zirconia and high grade titanium dental implants. I have helped many clients regain their confidence with a natural smile as well as allowing better mastication. This can be from the replacement of one tooth to a whole upper and lower jaw.
Dentistry is an exciting field with constant advances and technologies to make your visits more comfortable and your results more impactful. We are fortunate to work in practices that constantly invest in equipment; materials and experienced team members to help you achieve a longer lasting beautiful smile.

My other passions away from dentistry are cycling and landscape photography.

Dentist Testimonial
“After years in mixed practice I was growing increasingly frustrated that I could not give my patients the dentistry I wanted to produce, day in day out. I enjoyed taking my time and providing high quality work as well as a wide array of cosmetic work.I felt I had to have the environment to do this all of the time in order to both care for both my own professional standard and for my patients alike.This is why I chose to look at fully private dentistry.Was I skilled enough? Could I meet the standard of care which often demand higher fee’s and higher expectations?That was the main reservation however I quickly realised that the quality of work is also coincidental with the time and care you can take with treatments. It has become so much more enjoyable doing the work which I would have previously thought was stressful. I now have sufficient time to provide bespoke plans and think through all my treatments in so much more detail – more importantly, comprehensively.  This of course means quality is higher and results are more predictable and patients are happier.
The rapport I was able to build with patients given the time I had to explain and educate their dental problems meant stress was massively reduced when discussing treatments. This is huge. This rapport and trust mean expectations are realistic and so treatments become easier, less stressful.I have more time and the best materials to ensure I mitigate against any pitfalls and difficulties.The support from all the staff is always exemplary, the values we share as a team are widespread throughout and are always incumbent in everything we do. The support means we can express our personal interests in dentistry into the work we do. A focus on quality rather than quantity and an environment and network of support to allow me to focus on areas of dentistry which internet me most.I mention income last. I have seen my income almost double within my first year in private practice. This is not because I am doing more or carrying out expensive treatment plans. This is only because of the support and personal development and time which has enabled me to be rewarded with appropriate fees. With the enjoyment of my dentistry now, the reduced stress and vision for the future, the finances have become far less important than they were when I was on the treadmill of high volume, high stress dentistry previously.”Dr Omar AliAssociate @ Inverleith Dentalcare

Dr. Pedro Fiuza

Dentist

GDC No 139247

I qualified from the University of Lisbon in 2007. After one year of working in Portugal, I moved to Edinburgh, the city I’m proud to call home, where I have lived and worked ever since.

Over the years, I have devoted much to my training, attending several courses to improve my knowledge and skills. This enables me to deal comfortably with most treatments, from simple to complex aesthetic and restorative cases. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, but I am particularly passionate about the art and science of “smile design”, biomimetic dentistry, a minimally invasive branch of dentistry that aims to save and maintain the natural tooth structure and clear aligner orthodontic therapy.

I take great pride in delivering high-quality care and will endeavour to make your dental visits as pleasant as possible. You can expect a friendly and honest approach with a complete explanation of treatment options and procedures so that you can make an informed decision about your treatment. My recommendations are always based on your individual goals and what is most clinically appropriate.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know you, and I hope to help address your dental concerns with a helping hand and a friendly smile.
