      Homeless Kindness

      While winter months prove to be difficult at times for those of us lucky enough to be able to access health services, it has been a particularly challenging time for the homeless community.⁠ This is why our Managing Partner, Mark Skimming, decided to step in and help out.

      After reading about the outstanding work of Laura McSorley, who started the Glasgow-based Kindness Homeless Street Team in 2019, Mark spoke to our team members and we decided straight away that we wanted to offer some help.

      It is heartbreaking that so many people are going without essential health care. Oral hygiene is such an important part of our overall well-being.

      We really want to be respectful to everyone involved in this collaboration and Laura has taken the lead in terms of giving us⁠ background information and explaining how best we can use our own skills and resources.⁠ Above oral and dental care, of course, we know that how our smiles appear is also a huge part of our confidence and self-esteem.

      We sincerely hope that by stepping in and providing dental services for the Kindness Homeless Street Team we can really make a difference.

      I have had some minor treatment recently with Dr Sam Lockhart, and I can't praise him enough for being such a wonderful, skilled dentist. He always takes time to explain what he is doing and my treatment was genuinely pain free. It's great to have a dentist you feel safe with.Sammy his dental assistant was also very good. Thanks to you both!Juliet

      I want to extend my sincerest thanks to Sam Lockhart (supremely decent, gifted dentist), Sammy (trainee assistant who is better than most trained assistants and with a truly caring approach to her profession) and the lovely receptionist from Asturias. You chaps saved my Christmas. We never met before and we may never meet again, but this was the most positively unforgettable visit to a dental surgery I have ever had in more than sixty years. I salute you. Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2024.

      I went to Links Dental Practice for help, as for many years I was scared of dentists and my teeth were in very bad condition. I had a very friendly chat with Louise and on the same day I met Sam Lockhart. He is an amazing dentist with a great approach to patients. He made me feel comfortable and we arranged the process of fixing my smile. During every visit I was completely informed of what the plan was and what was going on, all procedures were painless. Sam Lockhart and his assistant Sammie are the best you can get. I would recommend them to everyone.Big THANK YOU for your help, you are the best.

      I have been going to Links Dental Practice for over 20 years... excellent dentist. Edward Ross is so informative about everything that has to be done.

      I have been with this practice many years and have had excellent service. Being in Denplan I was given all the treatment I have needed. The only problem was in lock down due to the restrictions on dentists, but that is the fault of the Scottish Government and not the practice.
      Elizabeth F.
      Elizabeth F.
      Without a doubt the best dental practice I've been to. Dr Sam Lockhart and Claire were genuinely excellent. They were aware of me being a nervous patient, they didn't rush and explained everything along the way for a tooth filling 🦷 The whole process was smooth and pain free, they first use a numbing gel, then the actual local anaesthetic so you don't get the pain of injecting the anesthetic in the first place. They were happy to play music in the room to distract me from the drilling which was really helpful. As a private practice, they can be expensive, but for someone like myself who is nervous who avoided dentists for sometime, it's worth paying to get the attention and care. Overall, I strongly recommend them.

      I am so lucky to have found this practice for my Invisalign treatment, bonding, whitening, and overall dental care! Dr Sam and Nurse Claire made me feel very comfortable and relaxed during our appointments, and were very thorough in explaining the procedures to me. They were also extremely patient, kind, and helped with so many other services and dental advice unrelated to my treatment! Everyone in the reception was also very warm and welcoming, and going to the dentist became a highlight of my day. The clinic was also visibly very hygienic and professional. The end product was beautiful, and I'm very happy with my smile now!

      This is a first class practice. Jasmine has demonstrated through her calm, friendly and intelligent approach that pain free dentistry can be achieved, allowing me to be relaxed with certain, more difficult procedures.The practice is a modern and relaxing environment with friendly and helpful reception staff. I actually enjoy going to the dentist now!

      Sam and Claire, as always, very efficient and professional but ready for a laugh 😊 Treatment options are always discussed and I know what my choices may be with my very tricky dental problems. Treatment has always been pain free. Today, I had an extra long appointment time and there was the option of choosing two items to ease my time in the chair. I chose the warm neck pad and the back massager. The neck pad was so warming, comforting and relaxing. The back massager, was doing the job but I found it noisy and distracting {perhaps not helped by my hearing aids} and I felt that I didn't want anything to be distracting Sam and Claire, especially Sam whose head was obviously quite near. 😊 I'd rather listen to the music 😊 However, others may find it useful.

      I had a particularly complex situation due to some current treatment and Sam did a fantastic job with my teeth. Incredibly knowledgeable and comforting about the procedures. I really appreciated a very detailed email about potential options and the pros and cons. Superb experience for a horrible tooth accident. Thank you!

      I’d like to thank & acknowledge Sam & Claire for their excellent pain free service. Sam replaced a deep filling & his care & attention to detail was clearly evident when I ran my tongue over the filling. No rough edges, no pain & really well sculpted new tooth. I’ll going to look after this one! Thanks Stuart A

      This place has totally changed my mindset when it comes to going to the dentist! I can honestly say I felt ZERO pain.I am a very nervous and anxious person when it comes to the dentist, especially when it comes to needles. My dentist (Sam) and nurse (Claire) were very accommodating and respectful of my nerves and anxiety. They took things at a pace I was comfortable with, explained what they were doing and why, and made me feel relaxed.I am now getting back on top of my dental care and have regained my confidence to smile without covering my mouth.

      This is one of the best dentists that I have been too.After having a few scary experiences elsewhere I'm extremely nervous about attending dental appointments but Sam was fantastic at putting my mind at ease and talking me through everything step by step. I even returned for my follow up appointment without running away.Many thanks for Sam and Claires patience and restoring my faith in coming back to the dentist.I'm not the easiest person when I'm nervous so well done on doing a fantastic job.I'll be back.

      My recent visit to Links Dental Practice was a very relaxed and stress-free experience. They were able fit me in at short notice to fix my chipped tooth. Dr Jasmine Tolat and nurse Lauryn were very reassuring and accommodating, and were able to repair my tooth there and then. The process was quick, easy, and pain-free from start to finish. I thoroughly recommend Links Dental Practice and their wonderful staff to anyone in need of dental care.

      This is a great practice offering an excellent service with friendly staff.I visited the practice to get a filling done. I was greeted by Louise at reception who was lovely and welcoming. My dentist is Dr Sam Lockhart who was assisted by a lovely nurse called Clare. They were both calm, professional and efficient.Visiting the dentist can be a nerve-racking experience for most people but that wasn't the case at Links. Thanks to all for making it a truly pain-free and all round pleasant experience!

      I had a problem and although Mr. Ross was on holiday he attended at the surgery to see me. I am well informed of the treatment which is being carried out and the way forward with any further treatment, if needed. The staff are excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending the practice.

      I've only had 2 courses of treatment so far from Jasmine but have found her to be friendly, efficient and informative. She conducts her business very professionally but with a very good 'bedside manner', thus making the patient feel relaxed and confident. A very positive experience so far with my new dentist - keep up the good work!

      My husband and I were visiting for the Military Tattoo and were leaving on a flight that evening. I woke up during the night with an awful toothache. Luckily for me I was able to be seen and had a root canal that was honestly pain free. The dentist was so knowledgeable and showed me on the X-rays how the infection was spreading. It could have been an extremely serious threat to my health. Thank you for doing such a professional, caring job!
      Sharon R.

      Brilliant service and excellent staff! We had to book an emergency appointment for my daughter who was having some tooth pain. I called first thing in the morning and left a message and was called back with an appointment within a couple of hours. The dentist we saw, Sam, couldn't have been any better with her. He was patient, explained everything so that she would understand and was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to you Sam and the team for making a visit that could have been a real trauma as easy as it was.

      Excellent service provided by Jasmine Tolat, whom is a credit to the team at Links Dental Practice! She took the time to fully understand what I wanted from my treatment and made sure I was completely happy with the result. She is knowledgeable, kind and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. Because of her I would recommend Links Dental Practice to everyone I know!
