Huntly Dental Practice Expansion: Two New Surgeries

Huntly Dental Practice Expansion: Two New Surgeries

Two new surgeries and three new dentists support Huntly Dental Practice as it expands next door, increasing capacity and paving the way for a wider range of dental services for families across Aberdeenshire and Moray.

The Huntly Dental Practice expansion marks an exciting step in the practice’s development. The refurbishment of the adjoining Reid Flory Building will create two additional surgeries, alongside three new dentists joining the clinical team.

The expansion will bring the practice to eight dentists, with the new unit on course to open by January 2027. This will increase its capacity to support patients through more stages of their dental care and lay the foundations for the planned introduction of additional services, including orthodontics and in-house dental implants, further broadening the range of treatments available to patients.

Caring for your family's smiles at every stage

For Huntly Dental Practice, the expansion is about more than creating additional space. It is about making it easier for families to access the dental care they need and, over time, to receive more of their care in one practice.
With two additional surgeries and an expanded clinical team, the practice will have greater capacity to accommodate appointments while continuing to develop the range of services available to patients.

The increased capacity will also support the practice’s ability to respond to patients requiring urgent dental care, with more same-day emergency appointment slots available, subject to clinical appropriateness and availability.

Building towards more care, under one roof

The expansion supports Huntly Dental Practice’s ambition to provide a broad range of dental care within one practice, helping patients access different stages of their dental journey without unnecessarily travelling elsewhere.

Services currently available across the practice include:

  • Emergency dental care
  • Preventative and hygiene care
  • Restorative dentistry
  • Children’s dentistry
  • Cosmetic and independent treatments

Although based in Huntly, the practice already welcomes patients from communities across Aberdeenshire and Moray, with some patients travelling further to access the care they need.

The expansion will allow Huntly Dental Practice to build on this wider role while maintaining its focus on personal, patient-centred care.

By expanding its clinical capability, the practice aims to provide more treatment within the practice where clinically appropriate, helping reduce the need for patients to travel elsewhere for care that can safely be provided closer to home.

A commitment to continuous improvement

At Huntly Dental Practice, development goes beyond its facilities and the range of treatments it provides. The practice is committed to continually improving the way it cares for patients, listening to their feedback and reviewing its processes to make their experience as positive and straightforward as possible.

This commitment also extends to the clinical team. Dentists regularly undertake continuing professional development and attend courses to keep their knowledge and skills up to date with the latest clinical techniques, professional guidance and regulatory requirements. This ongoing learning helps the team maintain high standards of care while continuing to develop their expertise.

Our expansion is ultimately about our patients. By adding two new surgeries and growing our clinical team, we can create more capacity and make it easier for families to access a wider range of dental care in one practice.

We want patients to feel that whatever stage of their dental journey they are at, they can come to us and find the right care and support.

What the Huntly Dental Practice Expansion Means for Patients

The latest expansion builds on the continued development of Huntly Dental Practice and its commitment to investing in its facilities, people and services.

The refurbishment of the adjoining Reid Flory Building represents a significant step in creating additional clinical capacity while retaining the practice’s focus on patient experience and accessible care.

Caring for your family's smiles at every stage.

Two new surgeries. Three new dentists. Eight dentists in total. More appointment capacity. An expanding range of dental care for the whole family.

Testimonials

The Childsmile nurse was so good with my son today. She interacted with him really well and had lots of patience, this is the first time he has allowed anyone to check his teeth and apply the fluoride varnish. Thanks so much!

Recently went for an emergency check-up at Huntly Dental Practice. If I’m honest I hate going to any dentist, but my dentist Amna Qureshi and her assistant couldn’t have made me feel more at ease. I couldn’t recommend the practice more, I had a full clean and my tooth fixed in 40 minutes! I will be using them for many years to come.
Thanks all!

I was absolutely petrified this morning about my wisdom tooth extraction. Mrs Saranya Rajkumar made me giggle and relaxed me completely. Every step was explained and I was asked if I was OK every few seconds. Mrs Saranya Rajkumar is the best dentist I’ve ever seen – such a lovely young lady and very professional but also sympathetic.
Thank you so much for not making me feel silly. Think I’ll actually enjoy dental visits from now on.

I have had a few visits here this year. Unfortunately I had to have a couple ofextractions and obviously was dreading the process. My dentist was Sarah Azeem and she was brilliant. She was thoroughly professional and very sympathetic to my fears. The extractions did not hurt at all and they healed very quickly. Sarah and all the staff were very kind, caring and supportive. I have no hesitation in recommending HDP, especially if you are scared of the dentist. My neighbour also dreads going to the dentist but she is very happy to attend here

Great practice, everybody friendly, the dentists are good at telling you everything they are doing if you are a nervous person.

Received excellent treatment at short notice from Amna. Several appointments were made to carry out root canal work. Done pain free by Amna who took great care to ensure the treatment was effective . Would love to get Amna any time. Excellent practice would recommend to anyone.

This is an excellent surgery in the whole of Aberdeenshire in my opinion.They have high standards, their diagnosis is very good and so is their service. I have been particularly pleased with Dr. Saranya. She is very good at her job.
