NHS and Private, Under One Roof
We Offer Both. Here’s Why Private Might Be Right for You.
We’re proud to be one of the few Edinburgh practices still accepting new NHS patients, and that’s something we intend to keep. But the honest truth is that NHS dentistry, brilliant as it is, has its limitations.
Availability can be restricted. Waiting times for certain appointments can be longer than you’d like. And some of the treatments that make the biggest difference to how your smile looks and feels, things like Invisalign, teeth whitening, composite bonding, dental implants, and facial aesthetics, simply aren’t available on the NHS at all.
That’s where private dentistry comes in. Going private at Citrus means longer appointments, more time with your dentist, access to the full range of treatments, and a clear written plan with honest pricing before anything starts. It doesn’t mean abandoning your NHS care. Many of our patients have both NHS check-ups for their routine health and private treatment when they want something more.
Private Dentistry For Every Part of Edinburgh
Whether You’re From Across the Road or Across the City
Whether you’re coming from Bruntsfield Place or Newington, making the trip from Morningside or Leith, or you’ve moved to Edinburgh recently and you’re looking for a practice you can actually build a long-term relationship with, you’ll find everything you need at Citrus Dental Care on Meadow Place.
Looking for Invisalign to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing? Considering dental implants to replace a tooth you’ve been missing for longer than you’d like to admit? Wanting to brighten your smile before a wedding, an interview, or just because you feel like it? We see patients from all walks of life with all kinds of goals, and we take every single one seriously.
Private Treatments at Citrus Dental Care
Your check-up at Citrus covers more ground than you might expect.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Straighten your teeth without fixed metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth into the right position. Virtually invisible when worn, comfortable to live with, and transformative when you get to the end. Free consultation available.
Teeth Whitening
Professional Boutique Whitening with custom-fitted trays made specifically for your teeth. Far more effective than anything you'll find over the counter, with results that are genuinely noticeable after a few weeks of home use.
Composite Bonding
A fast, minimally invasive fix for chips, gaps, and uneven teeth. Tooth-coloured resin is applied by hand, shaped, and hardened in a single appointment. No drilling in most cases. Results are immediate.
Smile Makeover
A personalised treatment plan combining two or more cosmetic treatments to transform the overall appearance of your smile. Could involve whitening, bonding, Invisalign, and veneers working together, designed around exactly what you want to achieve. Free consultation to get started.
Dental Implants
The gold standard for replacing a missing tooth. A titanium post is placed in the jawbone, topped with a custom-made crown that looks and functions exactly like a natural tooth. Dr Fotis Bousis holds a Masters degree in implant dentistry. Free consultation available.
Dentures
Custom-made removable dentures for patients who are missing several or all of their teeth. Available in acrylic from £700, full sets from £1,200, and the more durable chrome cobalt option from £900.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Botulinum toxin treatment to relax the muscles responsible for expression lines, including frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. Subtle, professional, and delivered by a clinician with specialist facial aesthetics training. Pricing on request.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers to restore volume, enhance the lips, and smooth lines caused by volume loss. Immediate results, natural-looking, and reversible. Pricing on request.
Inman Aligner
A faster, more affordable alternative to Invisalign for patients who want to straighten their front teeth. Treatment typically takes 8 to 18 weeks. The all-inclusive price covers every visit, all lab fees, and your final retainer.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin custom-made shells of dental porcelain bonded to the front of the teeth to transform their colour, shape, and size. Long-lasting, stain-resistant, and natural-looking when placed well.
Root Canal Treatment
When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected, root canal treatment removes the infection, cleans the canal, and seals the tooth to save it from extraction. Carried out under local anaesthetic and much more comfortable than its reputation suggests.
Dental Bridges
A fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. A reliable, non-surgical option for patients who want a permanent solution without implants.
