On the 7th of March, we officially opened the doors of mydentist Uddingston – a purpose-built, 9-surgery practice located on Philip Murray Road, Belshill. The practice was launched by Practice Manager, Nicola Kelly, and her team after an investment project lasting just over 18 months.  

A real victory for the community of Uddingston, the move marks a substantial improvement for the 12,000 patients, both NHS and private, who will now be able to access the benefits of a modern, state-of-the-art facility, a wider range of dental treatments and services, in addition to the latest dental technologies to improve their experience in practice. 

Nicola Kelly, Practice Manager, commented: "I am delighted to reveal the new facilities and flexibility of appointment times that we can now offer to our patients. With our recent enhancements and expanded services, we're poised to deliver a higher level of dental care and provide an even more exceptional experience to our community. We look forward to welcoming patients into the practice over the coming weeks and months."
