About Hamilton Dental Centre

Our mission is to deliver pain free dentistry to the people of Hamilton

“A great deal of care was taken to ensure my treatment was completely painless.” Patient Review

Every member of the Hamilton Dental Centre team is devoted to ensuringtheir skills and knowledge remain at the forefront of dentistry, so we can deliver the best *pain free dentistry in Hamilton.

Many first-time dentistry patients to Hamilton Dental Centre are amazed and reassured by our approach. We often have patients tell us that they have a feeling their previous dental experiences of quick visits for a ‘check-up’ were merely taking a ‘patch-up’ approach to their mouths, which may not be the best solution long-term. Technology and preventive science have come a long way in dentistry.

Jack Muirhead

Dentist – GDC 277121
Jack graduated from The University of Glasgow in 2018. He went on to complete his vocational training year in Bonnybridge and then returned to Lanarkshire to work in practices in Airdrie and Strathaven. Jack joined the team at Hamilton Dental Centre in 2022 and he strives to provide high quality comprehensive dentistry to all patients. Jack enjoys all aspects of general dentistry but particularly restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Jack has undertaken further training in clear aligner systems to provide tooth straightening to his patients, with further minimally invasive and cosmetic dental courses planned for this year. He looks forward to welcoming new and returning patients to the practice to have their dental care carried out in a relaxed and welcoming environment.  
 
Jack lives locally with his partner Lauren, their two children Ezra and Luna and not forgetting their miniature dachshund Walter. In his spare time you’ll find Jack watching or playing sport – most commonly football.   Dad duties see Jack with his weekends filled with his kids’ sports clubs and soft play. He has a passion for travel, and this has continued with family holidays as his children get older. On the rare occasion that Jack and Lauren have a child free night, he loves to explore new restaurants that Glasgow and Lanarkshire have to offer.

Megan Girdwood

Dentist – GDC 244351
Hi – my name is Megan and I started working at Hamilton Dental Centre in June 2024. I graduated from the University of Dundee in 2013 and went on to do my vocational training at a practice in Rosyth – where I ended up staying for 9 years. My family and I then moved to the southside of Glasgow where I practiced for a further 2 years.

I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, and especially like helping my patients feel at ease during treatment. I am quite enthusiastic about oral surgery and restorative dentistry and am completing a restorative post graduate certificate later in the year.

At home, I live with my partner Johnny, our 1-year-old son Harrison and our rough collie Laddie. In my spare time I love being outdoors and going for long walks and finding any excuse to go for a coffee. I am a food and wine enthusiast, but this has been somewhat curtailed by the arrival of Harrison! Johnny and I are also keen travellers, so we are hoping to get back on a plane soon as a family to explore again!

Hi, I am Lisa, I have been a dental nurse for the last 31 years and with the pain free group for the last 8 years. Previously I worked at one of our sister practices in Carluke and have recently taken on the role of Practice Manager at Hamilton Dental Centre.
