Serving Newington and the Southside
Your Local Dentist, Just Across The Meadows
Newington is one of Edinburgh’s most characterful neighbourhoods, stretching from the buzz of Clerk Street and Causewayside in the north to the quieter residential streets of Blacket and Dalkeith Road as you head south. It’s home to students from the University of Edinburgh, families settled into Victorian tenements and period villas, and professionals who chose the area for its mix of independent culture, green space, and easy access to the city centre.
We see patients from right across Newington at Citrus, from folk who walk over from Causewayside to those making the slightly longer journey from Minto Street or Mayfield Road. From our practice on Meadow Place you have The Meadows on one side and the Southside’s Clerk Street bus connections on the other, so wherever you are in Newington, you’re not far away.

Why Edinburgh Patients Choose Citrus
Accepting new NHS patients
That's genuinely rare in Edinburgh right now, and it means NHS patients can actually get registered and looked after properly rather than added to a waiting list.
We don't do unnecessary treatment
As one of our patients put it: "He always discusses any costs upfront and only does work on my teeth if it's essentially required. This is not a money-making practice." That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
We're good with nervous patients
If the word "check-up" already has your stomach turning, you're in good company. A significant part of what we do is helping people who've avoided the dentist for years to get back into the habit without dreading it.
We keep it consistent
Same team, same approach, every time. You'll be seen by someone who actually knows your dental history, not a stranger reading your notes for the first time.
