My experience with Gerry was very positive he went out his way to make sure I was comfortable with implants and plate, I would recommend Tooth Doctor to anyone.Thanks again.
John B.
Jane and Jade were amazing as ever just love them 💕the care and support for an anxious patient is second to none!I recommend anyone who is struggling going to the dentist due to anxiety to use the Tooth Doctor in Carluke xx
Fiona S.
I cannot praise the team at The Tooth Doctor, Carluke highly enough. As a very anxious and reluctant patient, Sofia and Aimee did their utmost to allay my fears, answer all my questions and put me at my ease. The treatment so far has been excellent and, as promised, pain free and I have every confidence that it will be completed in the same caring and professional way.
Irene L.
The whole Team at Tooth Doctor are really professional and know how to manage the whole experience expertly.Gerry is super and managed my treatment brilliantly keeping me well informed of procedures and process all the way through.Thank you so much.

I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience at The Tooth Doctor, especially with my dentist Sofia. From start to finish, everything was spot on.I had been to a few different dentists before this and always struggled to get appointments that worked around my job, which was really frustrating. Sofia and the team were completely different — every appointment was arranged at times that actually suited my work schedule, which made a massive difference.I’m really happy with the results and feel much more confident smiling now.Sofia was professional, friendly, and explained everything clearly throughout the process, which put me at ease straight away.Couldn’t recommend The Tooth Doctor enough

I had implants done by someone else . truthful they were a right old mess .. and i was. really upset when they started chipping …. I went to the tooth doctor in Carluke where Gerry and his staff were really nice and pleasant.. Gerry Skeffinton took me on as a new patient and he started from scratch .. he rebuild the bones and helped me so much to regain my confidence.. i would 100% recommend Gerry .. he’s is amazing at what he doesAnne Doyle
Anne D.
The best thing I've ever done is go to the initial consultation with the Tooth Doctor.I had extremely crooked teeth my entire adult life which I was so embarrassed out. After meeting with Sofia I decided straight away to go ahead with Invisalign treatment. I needed all my appointments to be in the evenings after work which was never a problem. In just under 1 year I now have beautiful straight teeth that I can show off and be proud of. I always recommend the Tooth Doctor to anyone who listens and my daughter has now made an appointment to perfect her smile. I am so grateful to Sofia and Aimee for all their hard work and giving me my smile back!

Great service - happy, helpful staff - quick appointments with extended opening hours.Needed a new splint to help with mild sleep apnea - 7 day service, first class!

Gerry and the team were fantastic from start to finish, as someone who didn’t like going to the dentist they looked after me and eased my fears. I will continue to use this practice and I have already recommended it to a few friends. Your in safe hands 👏👏👏
David G.
I’ve just completed my treatment at The Tooth Doctor after a few months, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience!Gerry was incredibly patient and kind from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed any part of the process, and showed real attention to detail, he’s truly a perfectionist. Throughout each procedure, he constantly made sure I was comfortable and at ease.I had been putting off going to the dentist for years due to nerves, but I honestly wish I had done this sooner. The environment is completely non judgmental, which made such a difference for me. Even better, the whole treatment and healing process was pain free 🤩.A special mention to Kelly, the dental hygienist, who was absolutely amazing. I never thought I’d describe a hygiene appointment as pleasant, but she completely changed my perspective!A big thank you as well to all the dental nurses and receptionists, who were always so friendly, welcoming, and helpful at every visit which really made the whole experience even better.Thank you all so much 🙏
Amy C.
Thank you so much to Sofia and the team. Gold Standard in Tooth Doctoring 👍Professional, welcoming, friendly and the most advanced dental treatments. Sofia explained everything very clearly with all the pros and cons. Delighted with the final result. Tech Gnashers 😁
Sean A.
Im so greatful to all the staff at Tooth Doctor.I called to enquire about getting a front filling repaired as i had a wedding to attend at the weekend .Absolutley amazed that i had an appointment an hour later and got it sorted.Sofia was my dentist along with Aimee they both made me feel at ease and had no pain at all.
Karen M.
Absolutely great place hated going to dentist went here thinking a would need knocked out for treatment but in the end Sofia done all the work with no problems with out needing sedated couldn’t recommend her any more and Kelly has been great aswell
Jonny Y.
I attended Gerry at the tooth doctor for implants to my front teeth which look amazing. I would like to thank Gerry, Aimee and all his team from the receptionist to the treatment and expertise and calming influence throughout the procedure. I would highly recommend the Tooth Doctor for any dental work requiredThanks againJohn Livingstone
John L.
As usual a pleasant and friendly visit.May I ask why we got repeated information re our appointments. Is this a new system? Old system for advising us was sufficient.
John L.
I was in an emergency situation with my front tooth chipping 2 days before being the best man at a wedding. Tooth doctor got me in quickly and Gerard got my tooth fixed and looking like it was never chipped. Pain free and looking great! Would highly recommend
Stefan M.
A huge big thank you to the Tooth Doctor for my beautiful new smile.Having a fear of the dentist stopped me seeking early treatment over the years and lead to poor gum and bone health and a smile that i was ashamed and self conscious of.It was a long process to restore my gum health and smile, but Gerry took the process slowly to help me cope with my dentist anxiety. I even felt relaxed enough not to ask for sedation throughout my treatment even with the extractions and implant procedures which was an amazing achievment for me but entirely due to Gerry's understanding of anxiety and expertise in dentistry.Thank you to Gerry, Amy and all the reception staff who looked after me throughout the journey.
Gina C.
My father recently completed a lengthy course of dental treatment over eight weeks with Gerry, and I can’t speak highly enough of the care he received. As someone who can be quite forgetful, he was treated with genuine patience, understanding, and kindness throughout every visit.
James F.
I had two dental implants fitted From the minute you walk in the door and are greeted by the friendly reception staff. The premises are spotless and in my experience always run to time ( a bonus if you are working).Gerry fully explained every step of the process, allowed me to pick my favourite music and constantly checked that I was ok. Gerry’s assistant Aimee was friendly and efficient so they make a great team.I highly recommend The Tooth Doctor
Sharon S.
I had full bottom implants. No pain whatsoever! Well taken care of from a great team. Gerry is a brilliant dentist specialising in implants. Great to use a local dentist!
Liz F.
Excellent experience at The Tooth Doctor, Carluke. From the first contact through to the final results it was a pleasure to deal with the surgery. I was consulted throughout as to the result I wanted to achieve. I had a missing crown which I wanted to replace. I was given great advice and a range of options and prices to come to a solution. Gerry is a perfectionist which is exactly what you want when trusting someone with your smile. The surgery claims no pain dentistry and I can honestly say for the first time in almost 70yrs it absolutely lived up to the promise!I am delighted with my treatment and the results, I would highly recommend Gerry and the staff at The Tooth Doctor. Fabulous work.
Lyn M.
From the moment you arrive at the tooth Doctor, everyone is so friendly and helpful.I have been delighted with the treatment I received from Gerry which has always been explained to me beforehand and carried out with great patience and attention to detail.A fantastic job !
Davina F.
As an anxious patient I chose the Tooth Doctor to have some treatment carried out. Jane & Jade were absolutely fantastic in all respects and very highly recommend them. They are very professional and provide a relaxed atmosphere to be in. My treatment was carried out completely PAIN FREE and the overall experience was 1st class without a doubt. Fantastic !!!!!!!!!
Alan C.
I had a bit of a tooth ache got booked very quickly the appointment was from Friday for Monday. Staff are smiley and helpful. The dentist Sofia is lovely very kind and understanding. I'm very stressed out when it comes to a dentist but she helps me manage my stress works fast and gentle you don't feel pain and you don't feel rushed. It's so nice to see only smiley faces makes your day honestly. I highly recommend this place really great experience. Thank you ever so much for your support and help.
Asya T.
My dad got an emergency appointment and is over the moon with the service from Sofia and Aimee.He got a wisdom tooth pulled and was in and out the chair within 5-10 minutesThank you very much appreciated
Max W
Gerry & Sofia are both extremely skilled at what they do. Over the past year I've had aligners, dental implants and composite bonding as well as a full smile refresh. It's always a pleasure visiting the clinic as the staff are so friendly and welcoming and immediately put you at ease. Thank you all for a brilliant service.
Denise B.
I had been unhappy for years about how my teeth looked.I was given options on how they could be improved and I chose composite bonding.This was expertly carried out by Gerry and I only wish I had done it years ago!
Tom M.
Had a lovely experience getting a filling.Sofia gave me a pain free filling and Aimee pampered me with a back massager and a paraffin hand wax. Was just lovely
Lesley M.
Ive had the most amazing pain free experience at the tooth doctor with Sofia . She is really calming & confident in her work which makes me feel so much at ease 😌
Lisa R.
This feels like one of those things you quietly think about for years… and then one day you realise you’re actually smiling without thinking about it.So here it is. My Invisalign journey with Jane and Jade and The Tooth Doctor Carluke.Just over 6 months.20-odd aligners.Worn pretty much 22 hours a day.Expertly guided and genuinely cared for by Jane at Tooth Doctor in Carluke. No rushing. No hard sell. Just calm confidence and a proper plan.A bit of whitening. Some composite bonding to finish things off. And suddenly… a smile I don’t try to hide anymore.Massive thanks to Jane and the team at Tooth Doctor. Skilled, kind, and quitely brilliant.
Tracey H.
After a thorough consultation with Gerry, treatment started in April 2025, finished December 2025. Gerry and his implant assistant Aimee have been professional, understanding and kind all the way to the end. Throughout my implant/bone grafting journey Gerry was always able to answer any questions i had, which helped to alleviate any concerns. The Tooth Doctor have always made time for me in their busy schedule too. Now at the end of my treatment I can happily recommend Gerry and his team to give a great service. I am also happy with the final results, too. 😊 Thank you very much.
Lorna D.
I received an excellent service from The Tooth Doctor, Carluke, from start to finish. Having been a previous patient of Gerry's years ago, I sought him out again for further treatment. Totally satisfied with the procedure and result. The hygienist's procedure was painless, teeth did not ache afterwards.
Pauline H.
I was really nervous as I don’t like going to the dentist, but Sofia and her team were absolutely amazing. They were so kind, patient, and reassuring, and everything was explained clearly, which completely put me at ease. They made the whole experience far less stressful than I expected. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
Joanne M.
Excellent care from Gerry throughout my daughter’s dental treatment. He was professional, patient and always took time to explain everything clearly. The final result looks fantastic and we’re really pleased with the outcome. Highly recommended.
Jennifer B
When my filling in my front tooth fell out at 11am on a Friday morning I feared that id be stuck with it over the weekend! But thanks to Jane, by 12.30pm the tooth was fixed and my weekend was saved! Cannot thank the whole team enough and would not hesitate to recommend.
Laura B.
Excellent service, attended for emergency appointment for broken tooth and was given an appointment for same day. Was seen by Sofia and Jade, both very professional and respectful in all they did. I highly recommend The Tooth Doctor for any of your dental needs.
Norrie B.
Highly recommend. The staff are all lovely, I had most of my appointments with Sofia & Jade. Both are lovely, and Sofia is wonderfully professional, knowledgeable and immediately sets you at ease from the moment you step into the room. I needed a couple of fillings, both times the process was incredibly smooth and I genuinely barely felt a thing. Sofia built my filling up to look and feel like a real tooth, which was a new experience for me. The one filling I'd had before from a previous dentist always felt very smooth and artificial.The dentistry team take great care and attention in everything they do and the later opening hours/appointment system works very well for someone like me who works 6 days a week almost all year round. Can't recommend the Tooth Doctor highly enough!
Nicole Jane A.

Can’t thank the team for fitting me so last minute before going away. As always, from checking in at reception to leaving, everyone was amazing! I feel so much better. Gerry was kind, considerate and explained everything to me. Really put me at ease. Could not recommend the Tooth Doctor enough. Thank you.
Pamela V.
I want to say a big thank you to Gerry and all his team at Toothdoctor. I have recently had an implant and other dental work carried out by Gerry. I was an anxious patient but Gerry explained everything to me as we went along, so I knew what was happening at each appointment and all my treatment was pain free as promised. I am delighted with my new smile and I highly recommend Gerry and his team to anyone who is thinking about having any dental work carried out.
Margaret M.
As someone who has been terrified of the dentist all my life I can honestly say I wish I found The Tooth Doctor years ago. After reviewing all the dentists I decided to book in with Jane as she has an interest in treating nervous patients. I was all prepared to have sedation at every appointment I was that frightened. I went for my consultation and I was immediately put at ease from the moment I walked in the door. Jane is outstanding, explained everything to me and understood my fears. I had a fair few procedures done and I didn't require sedation for any of it, I honestly can say I never felt a thing!! There was zero judgement from Jane, Jade or anyone.I have now been attending appointments with Kelly the dental hygienist and again everything has been fantastic. Kelly is a magician when it comes to cleaning your teeth and is so friendly. I would recommend The Tooth Doctor to anyone who is nervous about attending the dentist.I will continue to attend the practice as I have now found the place that I feel comfortable, listened to and most of all non judgemental professionals who are quite simply bloody fantastic!!!!.A great team 🦷🦷
Elaine S.
I would like to thank Gerry for all the work he has done on my Teeth the treatment I received was done to a very high standard am very Happy with my Implants l would recommend Tooth Doctor Carluke also the staff are really nice 😀
Helen D.
The service form start to finish was very professional. I lost a tooth due to infection leaving very little bone being advised elsewhere that an implant may not be possible.Gerry the dentist was outstanding and was able to rebuild the bone and place an implant much to my delight.The results of my treatment are amazing and to a very high standard. All the appointments and treatments worked round my work schedule.
Paul M.
Cant speak highly enough about the tooth doctor. All the staff are amazing and the work they do is fantastic. I am terrified of the dentist and get sedated but these lovely people are the reason I can go back to the dentist, absolute stars xxxx
katie M.
I have been a patient at this dental practice for a long time. I always feel comfortable coming here for my dental and hygiene treatment so much so that I travel from Uddingston. The staff are always pleasant and welcoming which makes me feel at ease.
ANNE B.
I hadn't been to the dentist in a long time and I was really anxious about going. However Jane and her assistant made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. Jane advised me what treatment I would need (thankfully not much) and the cost. I'm so glad I pushed myself to go. I left feeling really happy and confident and will definitely be going back as and when needed. Overall all staff were really friendly and made me feel at ease
karen L.
Went for consultation found the staff very approachable and helpful made me feel at ease and explained everything to me in full would highly recommend x

Angela A.
I can highly recommend Gerry and the team at The Tooth Doctor. I’ve just completed my most recent treatment having implants fitted. All went to plan, I’m delighted with the result and the process was pain free !!
Janet C.
I badly needed a new smile which involved quite a bit of work including gum reduction, implants and crowns. I initially looked at dental clinics in Glasgow and further a field, not thinking I could have this work done on my own doorstep. Fortunately I came across The Tooth Doctor. I had an initial consultation with Gerry Skeffington where he took me through the whole treatment plan and timelines. Fast forward a few months and I now have my new smile. I’m absolutely delighted and can’t thank Gerry and all the staff at the Tooth Doctor enough.An amazing team of professional, dedicated people and as said, right on my doorstep.David McGowan
David M.
I had my routine appointment last night with Dr Sophia. It really is a testament to her care, professionalism and patience that I drive from Edinburgh to Carluke for my appointments. I always feel safe in her hands and my teeth have never looked so good. I also find Sophia to be firm in delivering messages in regards to your oral are.The whole tooth doctor practice is warm and friendly. I called the practice on Wednesday to pay for my appointment and Lin was her usual bubbly, friendly self. She’s a credit to the reception team.Chloe welcomed me at my appointment again with great care and professionalism. All in all the best dental practice and team in my view.
helen C.
Broke front tooth week before I was due to go on holiday. Managed to get appointment with Jane at Tooth Doctor. Appointment couldn't have gone better. Friendly, professional staff, dentistry work completed to a high standard, great result achieved. Thank you.
Brian O.
Thanks to the skill, knowledge and precision of Gerry - as well as his determination to achieve customer satisfaction- I have got implants that I’m really happy about - no more insecure feelings about my teeth when I speak or smile - the team behind Gerry are also super professional - Frank
Frank O.

May H.
Fantastic service from Gerry and the full team at The Tooth Doctor. Always friendly, accommodating and is truly pain free. Even the following days after the treatment, I have no pain in the area following root canal treatment. Highly recommend to anyone who needs dental work
Christopher S.
Friendly atmosphere. Very welcoming. Gerry explained the options clearly and in an an easy to understand way. Would recommend the service here at the Tooth Doctor.
rab M.
I had to have a fairly complex crumbled tooth root extraction, which I must admit I was very worried about, but Gerry and his assistant were excellent and delivered on their 'no pain' commitment. I felt absolutely no pain throughout the extraction even though he had to cut the gum and put stitches in. Even once the anaesthetic had worn off, I still had no pain. Fantastic service, I have no hesitation in recommending The Tooth Doctor and particularly Gerry.
Jav Y.
Gerry and his team of highly skilled staff provide an excellent range of services and high quality care. Gerry made me a bespoke 'splint' (which fits my top row of teeth perfectly) and has solved my night-time grinding problem. This has been absolutely brilliant, it fits really well, feels comfortable and has stopped me grinding my teeth through the night. I'm pain free and have no more jaw ache and headaches. Thank you guys!!
Jen M.
Gerry & Amy finished off installing a rear lower implant, yesterday.The whole process was much less painful than previous impants, done elsewhere.The use of 3D scanning rather than having to bite into moulding clay, is IMHO a big leap forward.Having had other failed implants before, I'd highly recommend the Tooth Doctor.
