Replacing teeth, Changing lives
Erskine Dental Care and Dental Implant Centre is led by founder and lead Implant dentist Dr Philip Byrne and has now grown to include four other implant dentists. If you are self-conscious about your smile or have trouble eating, then dental implants can be transformative for both your teeth and your confidence. Dental implants are the closest alternative to a natural tooth and are placed beneath the gum, making them more similar to your natural tooth than a denture. They can be used to help replace anything from a single missing tooth to a full set of teeth and have a success rate of over 98%. Dental implants are not a service offered by all dentists, it requires further qualifications so rest assured that you are in good hands with the specialists at Erskine Dental Care and Dental Implant Centre. A lot of patients describe dental implants as “life changing” and wish they had it done earlier. We pride ourselves in keeping you fully involved throughout your journey, providing your care with a gentle and reassuring manner, ensuring that your experience is exceptional. To help you spread the cost, we offer 0% finance packages, with the option to spread treatment costs over two years interest-free.

Don’t just take our word for it, one of our patients Isabelle had the following review of her experience at Erskine Dental Care and Dental Implant Centre:
“All the staff are amazing, so kind and caring throughout my whole journey from start to finish. Dr Philip Byrne done an outstanding job replacing my stained and broken teeth with implants and look at me now, I can smile again. Thank you. I would recommend Erskine Dental Care to anyone who asked, if I ever need any more work done on my teeth, it is the first place I would go, even with it being a few hours drive. Thanks again everyone.”
Look at this transformation for one of our patients Margaret and what she had to say about her experience:
“It has honestly changed my life for the better, my appearance and confidence have improved more than I could ever of imagined. I can eat all day and take them out at night as I got the removeable option. I can smile, laugh and eat in front of people and don’t ever put my hands up to my face now, I am so happy. I wish I had got it done years ago, I have no regrets at all. I was concerned due to my age being in my 70’s and I am so glad I healed up as normal and had no pain at all. The staff in the practice are lovely and make sure you feel at ease at all times. Very informative, thank you.”
Our patient Stephen had something to say about his treatment he received:
“Where to start .... To think where I started to now, I can’t believe it. Having no denture is amazing. From the staff to my teeth, I couldn’t be happier. Thank you. You are all a credit to the practice, very kind and helpful no matter what questions I had. Thanks again.”
