Before becoming a dentist, James was a lifelong patient of Gilmore Dental Practice, growing up just a stone’s throw away. After completing an undergraduate degree at Cambridge University, and a stint working in the City of London, James realised his passion was to work in a caring profession. He went on to train at King’s College London and completed vocational training in Newcastle across general practice and in hospital settings. James finally returned home to Edinburgh in 2017.

James is a generalist who enjoys solving a wide range of dental problems, and is committed to his professional development – as shown by obtaining the MFDS qualification with Edinburgh’s Royal College of Surgeons in 2018. He takes most pride in his compassionate and supportive approach, working hard to make dentistry comprehensible, calming and comfortable. He can’t wait to join the team at Gilmore and begin building trusted relationships with our valued patients.

In his free time James enjoys cooking, and especially, eating. He loves the cinema, and can at times be heard in Bruntsfield tuning his bagpipes. Finally, he and Dr Ruth are not, in fact, related!

Since graduating Ruth has spent time working in the Special Needs and Anxiety Department of Dundee Dental Hospital and, for many years, in general practice. Ruth enjoys using her hospital training in practice; making patients feel at ease, and ensuring they have a positive dental experience, is important to her.

Ruth worked in her previous position in general dental practices for twelve years, where she was lucky enough to treat generations of the same families, and see the benefits of preventative care over time.
