Dental Clinic Scotland

Faiz graduated from Dundee Dental School in 2003 and completed his vocational training in Anstruther. With over 20 years of experience in both NHS and private practice, he has a particular interest in precision and minimally invasive dentistry, including minimal-preparation veneers, biomimetic restorative techniques, and dental implant placement and restoration. Faiz enjoys restoring smiles and takes time to ensure patients feel informed, relaxed, and supported throughout their treatment — especially those who may feel anxious.

His top tip:

“If you can’t look after yourself, what can I do for you?”

Faiz is also passionate about teaching and mentoring, and regularly supports and trains dentists who are developing their clinical skills.

Meet Dr John Fairlie — Implant Dentist in Glasgow and Kilmarnock

Before training in dentistry, I worked as a scientist, completing degrees in Pharmacology and a Doctorate in Neuroscience. I qualified as a dentist in 2010 and spent nine years working in both NHS and private general practice. After completing further postgraduate training and a Master’s degree, I now focus primarily on dental implants, travelling across Scotland and Northern Ireland to provide this treatment.

My clinical work involves the placement and restoration of dental implants, along with the surgical procedures needed to help patients regain both their smile and their dental function.

I enjoy meeting patients from all walks of life and supporting them towards their treatment goals. Working across different locations allows me to help more people access the care they need.

My top tip:

While implant dentistry can transform smiles, nothing is better than your natural teeth — so listen to your hygienist and protect what you have.

What do you enjoy most about working at Dental Studio Scotland?

I really value being part of a large team of clinicians and staff who support one another and collaborate to offer patients a wide range of high-quality treatment options.
