About Vermilion - The Smile Experts Kelso

Vermilion - The Smile Experts is an award-winning private referral dental clinic established in 2011 at 24 St John’s Road, Corstorphine. Later in 2018 we opened our second clinic in the gorgeous Borders town of Kelso.

We offer complex treatments such as dental implants, periodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, dental hygiene and conscious sedation. After completing their treatment with us, patients return to their own dentist for ongoing care.

We are proud to have maintained our ‘Good Practice Accreditation’ from the British Dental Association since 2016. We were also delighted to be recognised as ‘Referral Practice of the Year North’ and for ‘Best Patient Care Scotland and Northern Ireland’ at the Private Dentistry Awards 2022. Additionally, in 2024, we were thrilled to be awarded ‘Best Referral Practice North’ at the Private Dentistry Awards.

Our values are centred around delivering consistent clinical excellence paired with outstanding service to both our patients and referring dentists.

My experience was extremely fast, friendly, and informative service at all stages. I enquired about wisdom teeth extraction and received a call from the practice within 24 hours to book in a consultation and surgery. The practice in Kelso has a welcoming atmosphere and is very clean. The staff were approachable and answered all my questions in a friendly manner. The paperwork was very easy as it was online and any edits required such as adding conscious sedation were completed immediately. I was impressed at the responsiveness of the receptionists and how quickly they handled the admin side. Within 2 weeks I went in for the surgery. The surgery itself was swift and carefree as the team carried out my conscious sedation and extractions smoothly and the whole process took just an hour. The staff were lovely and asked if I had any music requests which I thought was a great touch. The aftercare package was very helpful for timings of painkillers and mouthwash. A follow-up phone call around a week after the surgery was much appreciated and again very professional and friendly. The whole experience can be described as extremely efficient and professional.

Came to have a tooth extracted. Dentist could not have done any more to explain what was going to happen and what to expect post extraction. She took her time while removing the tooth ensuring I was not in any pain.

Oral surgery on a non-erupted wisdom tooth that had an abscess and was oozing pus into my mouth! Excellent service from first speaking to the receptionist to Fiona answering my many questions and removing the offending wisdom tooth.

All staff at Vermilion are friendly yet very professional. I had an emergency referral after losing four front teeth in a sports accident. Every step of my treatment was explained simply yet in detail. This was especially important for me, a stroke survivor, who has difficulty understanding things. My entire treatment was gentle and painless. I was looked after exceptionally well by reception staff, dental nurses, dentists, hygienists. Would recommend Vermilion Kelso 100%. Thank you

Alistair life changing journey at Vermilion - The Smile Experts

Alistair life changing journey at Vermilion - The Smile Experts

After years of incredible discomfort and lack of confidence, Alistair came to our Vermilion Edinburgh clinic for an All-on-4 dental implant. When we first met him, he told us his story and his daily struggles and told us that he wanted to have the teeth he had 20 years ago and that is exactly what we did! We cannot put into words how grateful we are to have had the opportunity to help Alistair get his smile and his life back.

Effective Solutions for Darkened Teeth: Internal Tooth Whitening Explained by Dr David Treagus - Vermilion - The Smile Experts

Effective Solutions for Darkened Teeth: Internal Tooth Whitening Explained by Dr David Treagus - Vermilion - The Smile Experts

Internal tooth whitening is a specialised dental treatment used to lighten teeth that have darkened following root canal therapy or dental trauma. Unlike conventional whitening that works on the tooth’s surface, internal whitening targets stains from inside the tooth by applying bleaching agents directly within the tooth structure. At Vermilion, our experienced team provides safe and effective internal tooth whitening to restore your smile’s natural brightness and confidence.
