About

A little about us…

Here at McManus and Scott Dental Surgeries we offer you the best of both worlds – traditional NHS dental treatments and the option of affordable Private Cosmetic Dental Treatments focusing on improving your smile.

Our wide choice of treatments means we can help you to maintain healthy teeth and enhance your smile. Please see our list of services for a more comprehensive guide to what we offer.
To set ourselves apart from other practices, we have recently invested in modernizing both practices and provide state of the art facilities combined with modern, comfortable surroundings making our practices desirable for both patients and staff alike. We have been established for 20 yrs. and serve over 10,000 patients in the local and surrounding communities.

We have recently undergone renovations and added 2 surgeries to Holytown and 1 to Newarthill allowing us to take on more patients and provide a more spacious environment to our existing patient base.
