Serving Bruntsfield and the Southside
Your Local Dentist, Just Across the Links
Bruntsfield is one of Edinburgh’s most genuinely loved neighbourhoods. It runs along Bruntsfield Place with independent cafés, bakeries, and boutique shops lining the street, the kind of high street that makes people choose to live in the Southside rather than anywhere else in the city. Bruntsfield Links stretches alongside it, connecting north to The Meadows and giving the whole area a relaxed, open feel that’s rare this close to a city centre.
It’s the kind of place where people know their neighbours, have a regular table at their favourite café, and walk the Links on a Sunday morning without needing much of an agenda. We see a lot of Bruntsfield patients at Citrus. Some walk over via the Links and The Meadows in ten minutes. Others come down from Whitehouse Loan or Bruntsfield Crescent. Wherever you are on Bruntsfield Place, we’re close.

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.
