Looking for a new private dental practice? Bluewater is a private dentist taking on NHS patients! Our private dental practice provides a full range of both NHS and Private general dentistry. We are also a Simply Health (formerly known as Denplan) provider. The key for us is to give you a clear understanding of the benefits of both options and let you make an informed decision.

There is a common misconception that to choose NHS dentistry over private dentistry means accepting poorer quality work. We believe that this does not have to be true. It is true that your options may be more limited but there are many cases where NHS dentistry can be more appropriate than the private option. Make Bluewater your Renfrewshire dentists, we are local, and a dentist taking on NHS patients!

“I was at Bluewater recently for some private work and received a first class service throughout. The team were courteous, helpful and made every effort to make me feel at home and at ease with the procedure. They also went the extra mile both before the procedure and after to ensure that I was fully informed and happy at all times. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who needs any dental work on the west coast!”
