Recently completed treatment with Dr Ali Colquhoun and had a truly fantastic experience. A very welcoming and friendly environment with top-notch care and attention for detail. You're in the safest of hands, and my husband and I are absolutely delighted with the results. Thank you Ali for answering so many questions, having buckets of patience and for taking such pride in your work. Cannot recommend enough!

After years of bad experiences with visits to the dentist I was always so anxious about going. I finally made the decision to get a consultation at dentistry @ no3 and it was the best decision I’ve made.I was lucky enough to have Rebecca as my dentist. From the very beginning Rebecca and her team made me feel at ease even though and I’m not scared to admit I was bricking it. They were kind and reassuring throughout my whole journey it made it so easy to get through.I have always had sensitive teeth and can happily say I felt nothing even with a couple of major procedures thrown in.I can’t thank everybody at dentistry @no3 enough for making my journey a positive experience. I am over the moon with the results.10/10

Met with the lovely Leigh for my consultation, Leigh was very informative on what I could expect and achieve going forward with my concerns . Felt so relaxed and welcome . Can’t wait to start my journey with you.

I first booked a consultation with Leigh to speak about my options as I was looking to close the gap in my front two teeth. Leigh was very friendly and knowledgeable about my options and we spoke about what would work best for me.After going ahead with the treatment I was passed onto dentist Dr Lee McMenamin for a couple of appointments before my treatment. Lee was also very friendly, knowledgeable and thorough with his work. We spoke through the process and what each session entailed building up to the treatment.When I had the treatment done last week, it was in deed pain free. I was very relaxed as they had soft music on and I could have fell asleep. I am over the moon with the results and would recommend the process to anyone looking for composite bonding.Thank you again to Leigh, Lee and all the team at Dentistry @ No.3 :)

I have been visiting Rebecca at Dentistry Number 3 since May 2024, and my experience has been nothing short of outstanding.From my very first consultation, Rebecca took the time to explain every step of the process, making me feel completely at ease. She carried out regular follow-ups throughout my treatment to ensure everything was going well, which made me feel genuinely cared for.I had my final smile appointment yesterday, and all I can say is that the finished result is absolutely outstanding. My new smile is even better than I ever imagined, and I can now smile with complete confidence.A huge thank you to Rebecca and Rachel at Dentistry Number 3 for their professionalism, kindness, and support throughout my journey. I am absolutely delighted with my beautiful, pain-free smile and would highly recommend them to anyone considering dental treatment.

I found my hygienist Laura Higgins to be very understanding and empathetic during my treatment yesterday. I have sensitive teeth and she did her absolute best throughout my treatment . Her advice was invaluable. Would highly recommend No 3 Densistry
Ruth S.
I have never had the best experience with dentists in the past and have been very anxious about going. I can safely say that is not the case with dentistry@no.3, I now look forward to going. My dentist Lee is fantastic, puts you completely at ease and has now given me a smile that I am happy to show off. The nurses & receptionists are always so lovely and friendly. 10/10 highly recommend 😊
Victoria H.
I had a smile makeover done by Alisdair, I never ever thought it would turn out to be so good, considering how bad my teeth looked. I wish I hadn't waited so long! Also there was no long haul treatment process, three quick visits in total, the first one being a consultation with Leigh, who addressed my concerns regarding my smile. Can't stress enough, they know exactly what they're doing at Dentistry @ No 3.
Peter H.
From initial meeting to discuss different treatment options I was made to feel at ease and welcomed by friendly and professional staff. Once my decision was made and in consultation with Ali who explained fully all the steps involved. I have now started my treatment plan. My journey from having teeth removed and a temporary plate fitted has all been pain free with excellent aftercare. I would highly recommend Dentistry at No3 to anyone considering implants or other dental work.
Tricia
Highly recommend Ali ar Dentistry @ no3. From start of consultation, through every treatment, he explained every step. All the staff were great, from reception to nurses. My transformation is incredible. My new crowns look so natural now!
Frances S.
I had 3 crowns replaced by Rebecca at Dentistry @No 3. Very professional treatment from start to finish , no pain at all and always explained everything she was doing , I would highly recommend the practice and Rebecca if you are looking to have any dental treatment and a pain free experience! 10/10
Anna P.
I had my quarterly hygienist appointment with Laura yesterday and she was fantastic. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate, with a calm and reassuring manner that immediately puts you at ease. She explained everything clearly and provided excellent care throughout. Laura is a real credit to the practice and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Five stars!
Sara
I am very pleased with the implant bridge and veneer that were carefully custom designed for me after losing/breaking my front teeth following a facial injury. Specialist, Ali Colquhoun explained everything very clearly and the work was completed within a good timeframe. I am very grateful to have my full smile restored and not to have ended up with a denture. Highly recommended.
Beth D.
After having my complimentary consultation with Leigh, Smile Advisor (who is amazing and very knowledgeable) I booked in to see Dr Lee McMenamin with the hope of having a full set of dentures made. They totally understood my situation (post cancer I had to have all my teeth removed, to enable bone treatment). Lee talked me through every stage and answered my many questions. The whole process was calm and relaxed. I could write pages praising these amazing people and the care they took of me at every stage. The dentures are amazing, the fit is perfect. I look like me again and I can smile for the 1st time in over a year, as well as eat properly again. My confidence has returned. Lee is incredibly knowledgeable and has such a calming voice. Leigh was a fantastic support all the way through. I highly recommend Dentistry @ #3. They've changed me life and can't thank them enough.
Louise C.
I recently had my second appointment with hygienist Jenna Reynolds. She is exceptionally professional and simultaneously very friendly. Jenna offers detailed and helpful advice that is easy to understand and implement. I wholeheartedly recommend Black & Brown Dental in Dunfermline.

I’ve been ok with dentists and needles but there is something about getting work done that I get really anxious about. I had a filling on the NHS which chipped after 2 weeks. I saw Fraser for an appointment on the Monday who took the time to talk me through all my options and show me what was going on. 3 days later and I’m being seen (after I finished work for the day) by the excellent Natalie for a clean and to have it repaired (compared to the 2 months from identifying I needed the filling to having it done on the NHS). I was very nervous about the repair but she has a lovely calm demeanour which puts you at ease. She took her time, and it never felt like she was stressed or rushed, and she was happy to answer my questions after about taking care of her handiwork and how long the repair will last. She took her time with the anaesthetic and I felt far more numb (and so I was confident I was numb) than on the NHS. Even her assistant checked in if I was ok. The drill was also so much quieter than what I’d been used to on the NHS, and I didn’t realise how much that sound had put me on edge.I love the NHS so wasn’t sure about going private, but the whole experience felt so different. I usually come away from a filling feeling tense and ashamed. I realised I’d started to relax before Natalie had finished her work, and I left feeling that next time I need work done I don’t need to spend the afternoon worrying about it.

Today I got my implants fitted to say it was a journey is an understatement (extractions, bone and gum grafts). I was petrified of the dentist…I would shake to the point it felt like I was having a fit in the chair and I would sob!! Today there was no sobs or shaking and that was down to Ali. Him and the team have been so kind and patient with me, they have never made me feel judged or stupid. Have reassured me all the way! I would honestly never have gotten this far without them. And I am truly so grateful I can now smile with confidence and unfortunately for them they are stuck with me because I can honestly say I will never be able to go to any other dentist!!10/10 and all the stars….thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️
Maebh H.
Dentistry @No 3,are amazing from the first minute I walked in the door it was a completely different experience, I met Leigh and she was so down to earth it made me feel totally at ease, then even before I met the amazing Ali there were more lovely receptionists ,nurses and hygienists..Ali made my whole experience totally pain free,I'd lost my faith in other dentists that's why I was so scared. I've never liked my teeth but now I can smile again, I would 100 percent recommend Dentistry @No 3 to anyone and have been telling everyone about them..
Tracey S.
I am delighted with the results of my new full upper arch implants done by Ali. From start to finish, the care was exceptional and genuinely pain free. The procedure was done carefully, at a pace I was comfortable with and offering reassurance throughout the procedure. Leigh waa always on hand to contact in between appointments before and after the surgery to offer reassurance or respond to my questions. My new teeth feel natural and look amazing. Thank you to the whole team.
Elaine C.
Always had fantastic care. This time needed tooth extraction obtained emergency appointment within 3 hours. Technique used made experience painless and easy. Greatful thanks to Alistair and his team.
patricia S.
Delighted with my results, and the service from start to finish was exceptional. Rebecca explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease throughout the process with great support from Rachel as well. Thank you!
Ali D.
The Dentist's and staff at this practice are very helpful they explaine everything and if you need then to stop whatever they are doing when you need them to they donsonwithout hesitation , due to other dental practices in the past I was very nervous about seeing a dentist but they put me at ease
smokey joe H.
I recently visited my dentist Rebecca, and had a really positive experience from start to finish. The team were welcoming and friendly which immediately put me at ease.Rebecca took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure i understood the treatment before she went ahead.I am delighted with the results, Rebecca has completely transformed my smile by fitting four porcelain veneers to my upper four front teeth. The difference is incredible, and i feel much more confident.Overall i am very happy with the treatment i received and i would highly recommend Rebecca and her team to anyone looking for a reliable and reasurring dentist.
David G.
Cant explain the ease of my treatment over a year so happy with the results broke a front tooth and had implant. Have to say no pain just a little discomfort so thank you so pleased.
Elaine F.
I recently had an extraction and dental implant. The treatment I've had could not have been better. I thought "pain-free dentistry" was an aspiration but I now realise it's a reality at this practice. At every stage my treatment was carefully explained and I felt cared for as an individual. The staff are all lovely and very professional and I'm delighted with the end result. I would highly recommend this practice.
Alison A.
Thanks to Natasha and assistant for there patience today. I am growing increasingly anxious of the dentist as I get older. They both helped make my experience bearable and I'm so grateful for the improvements made already !!!A huge thankyouIzzy x
Izzy S.
I cannot recommend Dentistry at No 3 highly enough!!Over the past year I’ve had extensive treatment carried out by Ali and the team. The entire experience has been outstanding—from my first consultation with Leigh through to my final fitting with Ali.I was quite apprehensive about having the work done initially, but Ali immediately put me completely at ease. At every appointment he took the time to explain each step of the procedures clearly and always made sure I was completely comfortable before proceeding.At times during my treatment, Ali truly went above and beyond. He even took the time to contact me personally during an emergency and did everything he could to help and support me when I wasn’t able to make it into the surgery.Ali’s skill, precision, and attention to detail are second to none. My results have been fantastic and have made a huge difference not only to my smile but also to my confidence.I’m incredibly grateful to Ali and the whole team at Dentistry at No 3 and would highly recommend them to anyone considering dental treatment.
Emma F.
Fantastic . From first phone call all the way through .l am so nervous and my regular dentist not available . Rebecca and her dental nurse were AMAZING. I know have two whom l trust x
Lesley Y.
I can’t thank Dentistry @ No.3 and Dr. Eunho Kim enough.My mum visited here after it was recommended to her, following a really awful experience at her previous dentist. She was nervous about going private at first, but once she had her appointment she couldn’t stop raving about it.she was reassured constantly by her dentist, always being asked if she was happy and nothing was too much.she was told she could come back at any point if something wasn’t right.Now, she’s over the moon with the results, she feels like her self again and we feel like we have our mum back.she smiles with so much confidence after being left in such a terrible state from the last place.would highly recommend this dentist to anyone.
Zoe M.
I’ve had a very positive experience here. The staff are always friendly and communicative, and they take the time to explain the steps of every procedure so you always know what is happening. Dr. Fraser is very professional, and I’m really glad to have him as my dentist because I can just relax and let him do his work.I’ve had more than ten visits already and have left every single time with no pain at all. Sometimes I even find myself wondering if they actually did anything or just had a quick look because everything feels so smooth and comfortable.I really appreciate the level of confidence and professionalism here, and I feel I can completely trust that anything that needs to be done will be handled properly. Highly recommended.
Valentin U.
Exceptional work done by Ali yet again . Professional and caring also . All staff at No 3 are extremely friendly .And any treatment is totally “pain free”
Lynda G.

What a wonderful experience at Dentristy @No3! After an initial consultation with Rebecca, who listened to my concerns and gave really positive and informative advice - I've had beautiful composite bonding to restore my confidence, and am still going through the 'dental implant' process with Ali. I feel listened to, and valued as a person, not just as a patient. And yes, it really is 'pain free'!
Lesley M
I cannot recommend this practice enough, from my first appointment with Leigh, the receptionists, nurses & of course Ali, each & every one of them made a very nervous, anxious patient so at ease & full of confidence. I decided to go for full mouth dental implants. It was a very long process & I believe I was the most complex patient Ali had ever come across but he never ever gave up on me for which I will always be truly grateful for. I am over the moon with my new teeth & can now smile & eat properly again thanks to Ali. This practice is "Simply The Best" 👌Jane Johnston.
Ian J.
My Invisalign journey with Rebecca was fantastic. From start to finish she kept me informed, motivated and on track. I love the results and cannot recommend Dentistry @ No3 and specifically Rebecca enough. Thank you!!!
Cheryl B.
Always a positive experience.Saw the Dentist today and Hygienist it was a painless experience and they both were very professional and friendly,as are all the staff.
Cherry A.
Dr Alisdair Colquhoun and his team at Dentistry @ No3 are excellent. Leigh at my first meeting was very caring and informative about possible procedures. A treatment plan was then arranged on consultation with Ali and I just completed getting a implant retained denture and an upper denture. Ali's care and attention to detail for perfect results was exceptional.I am so delighted with the look and feel of the final results, and wish I had begun this journey sooner. My smile and confidence have returned and I couldn't be happier.I would recommend Dentistry @ No3 without hesitation for their care and professionalism.
Gillian M.
Attention from No 3's team is of a high standard.Had an implant procedure with Ali whose expertise,skill and personal care explaining every step of treatment over months was reassuring,making visits and treatment relaxing.Exceptional service and quality of work,thankyou Ali and all at No 3
Mary C.
I had my first appointment today and required two deep fillings.The whole experience was completely pain free and the level of care was second to none.I would highly recommend Dentistry @no3Ali and his team are awsome !
Muddy Gutter C.
This time last year I started getting my teeth worked on by Dr.Lee and to this day I am super pleased with the outcome! He reworked my smile into something I could be confident and proud of! Especially after many failed NHS dental appointments. That gave me an uncomfortable feeling towards dentistry as a whole. ( I respect the NHS and all they do btw)So it’s definitely an investment. But it will be one of the best choice you ever make! It definitely was for me!Thank you Dentistry @ no3 and Dr Lee!
Trash P.
Dr. Alisdair Colquhoun and the entire team at Dentistry @ No.3 consistently provides an exceptional patient experience always combining professionalism with genuine care. I have been on a treatment plan for a little over a year now and the team is very organized with my multiple appointments, flexible with schedule changes, every procedure is explained clearly, ensuring I feel fully informed and comfortable with no pain of course. Thanks to their patience and focus, I have a full set of teeth FINALLY. I highly recommend and trust this practice for extensive overall dental health. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Arthur A.
I chose Dentistry No 3 after seeing the great work my niece and couple friends had done. Right from my consultation with Leigh I was made to feel very comfortable and everything was explained clearly to me. I needed a lot of work done, due to an accident that broke my front teeth. I had an implant fitted and a few veneer’s. Ali is an exceptional Dentist, his attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. I couldn’t be happier with all the work I’ve had done, I’m confident in smiling again. I’ve never felt so relaxed in a dentist before, The whole team are very welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend anyone who needs work done to come to Dentistry No 3
Eileen M.
From my initial conversation with Leigh it was clear that I was in good hands. After a few strange encounters with dentists one resulting in me biting a dentist and the other in an unexpected hospital visit I was naturally nervous. Meeting Rebecca immediately put me at ease with her calming Irish tones. Rebecca took the time to ensure she explained what was happening, reassuring me and checking in during the process all of which helped me start to enjoy my visit to the dentist. I couldn’t recommend them more and for once in my life, I’m exceptionally happy with my smile!
Robert S.
As a patient at No3 for a few years, it was time after 20+ years to have my fixed bridge replaced, no easy task using existing fixings. But after discussions, investigations, planning, patient compromising and trust from both of us, the task was undertaken and replaced with new and with perfection. Staff were supportive, provided excellent and professional service throughout the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending the treatment at No3. Thanks to all.
John B.
I would highly recommend Dentistry No. 3 for teeth alignment, from the very first consultation through to completion of my treatment programme, the professional and friendly approach has been first class. Along with much needed composite fillings, I can honestly say it has all been pain free. Rebecca and the team have been brilliant. Keep up the good work.
Neil M.
Highly recommend. Ali is the best in the business when it comes to dental implants. Professional and pain free service from start to finish using the latest technology to deliver perfect results. You wont be disappointed.
Gav U.
Had my first appointment last week with the smile advisor who talked me through all my treatment options and different payment options!within a week I was booked in with a dentist and was able to start my treatment!Amazing quick service which has left me feeling confident about the treatment ahead ,Thank you everyone !
Lyndsy B.
I chose this dentist initially from reading the excellent reviews online.From the consultation with Courtney to The completion of work by Ali, I was not disappointed.Dentistry No3 took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process making me feel completely at ease and was very much appreciated.I never felt rushed and all my questions were answered patiently. I am more than delighted with the work carried out. The entire experience was exceptional.If you’re looking for a highly skilledI and professional dentist who genuinely cares look no further.
Valerie
Initial consultation - I was sent a lovely video of Leigh introducing herself prior to my visit. When I was there everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Leigh discussed my options and really took her time to find out exactly what I want and don’t want. There was no pressure to proceed. I cannot wait to continue my journey with Leigh and the team to make my dream smile!! Fully recommend.
Lyndsay D
I haven't finished my treatment yet however everyone at dentistry @ no3 have been amazing, ive got a complex medical history i needed a dentist that was willing to understand this which dentistry @ no3 have absolutely done, im looking forward to having the rest of my treatmentI wouldn't go anywhere else for my treatment.
Caitlin M.
I'm so glad to have found Dentistry@No3. So, half way through my journey and the care and support I have received has been amazing. Every member of staff is so helpful.
Shona M.
I have had massive problems with my teeth for many years. Recurrent infections, including progression into a sinus cavity, had numerous teeth out, constant anxiety about my teeth breaking/crumbling & a LOT of trauma from some really awful dental experiences.Anyway from the first meeting with Leigh, to my initial appointment with Ali a plan was made. I can honestly say Ali has cured my fear of dentists, he has such a positive & calming manner. I had to have sedation previously at the dentist however with Ali i’ve had a tooth extraction, bone grafting, fillings, crowns and dental implants & it’s been absolutely no problem at all. He really understood that I liked to be talked through a treatment, (in a lot of very graphic detail at times) & was very patient with this.I’m nearly at the end of the journey (for now) & have so much more confidence, I can eat properly, smile properly & have no more pain.Thanks so much to Ali & the team at Dentistry No3, I would recommend them to anyone, particularly if you are nervous or need a lot of work done. It’s been a great experience from start to finish.Louise M
louise M.
I have been under the care of Ali and staff for some months now.My care has always been brilliant.I'm almost through my tooth treatments and today was thrilled to get my smile back. Final appointment soon, transformation is amazing and with Ali totally pain free. Cannot rate him high enough :)
Elaine T.
The service I received at dentistry @ no.3 was second to none as someone who suffers with some dental anxiety, I was made to feel some comfortable and at ease. Can’t recommend them enough
