Established in the 1930s, the practice has been led by Duncan Smith since 1992 and has built a reputation for combining a patient-centric approach with a dedication to clinical excellence.
With 20 team members, and five surgeries, the clinic provides a range of treatments including NHS and private dentistry, implants, cosmetic procedures and facial aesthetics.
Under Scottish Dental Care’s ownership, the practice will continue to serve its patients under the name Musselburgh Dental Clinic and Implant Centre, with investment into enhanced facilities and cutting-edge digital technology expected in the next 12 months.
Duncan Smith, founder of Duncan Smith Dental, said, “This practice has always been rooted in Musselburgh’s community, and I’m proud of the trusted relationships we’ve built over the years with both our patients and our dedicated team.
“By joining Scottish Dental Care, we’re safeguarding that legacy while opening an exciting new chapter. Our patients will continue to see the same familiar faces, now supported by additional investment and cutting-edge technology that will further enhance the care we provide.
“We’re looking forward to this partnership and what it means for the future of both our team and the local community.”
Duncan will continue to work at the clinic as lead dentist while his wife Andrea, who has worked with Duncan over the past 23 years to develop the practice, will step back to spend more time with family.
Philip Friel, director of dentistry at Scottish Dental Care and Advanced Dentistry, said, “We are delighted to welcome Duncan Smith Dental Practice into the Scottish Dental Care family. Duncan and his team have built a practice that is well-loved and highly regarded, and we are excited to support them in continuing to provide exceptional dental care to their patients.
“As a family-founded group, we take pride in ensuring each of our practices maintains its unique identity while benefiting from investment in state-of-the-art technology, training, and infrastructure that enhances both patient experience and clinical outcomes.”
