The dental practice has been a thriving business in its current
location since 1992. It was formerly owned and managed by Bobby
and Patricia Craig. Bobby retired in October 2006 and the practice
was bought by Ghyll McCallum. Ghyll has worked hard to modernise
the practice since then to accommodate the increase in patient numbers,
incorporating a variety of improved and upgraded facilities for
both patients and staff.
Recent refurbishments include:
- a larger waiting room and reception area
- a dedicated decontamination unit for brand new sterilisation
processing of instruments and equipment
- a fifth surgery
- a larger staff room
- a disabled access toilet
Dentist, Hygienist and Staff numbers have also increased. There
are currently five dentists and two hygienists working in the practice
with an experienced support staff of 8 dental nurses and receptionists.
Levengrove Dental Care is committed to providing high quality dental
treatment to all of its patients. We happily accept new NHS patients
and carry out private treatment on request. All the dentists are
experienced in many aspects of dental treatment and we have an excellent
support network of other dental specialists who offer orthodontic,
