*Pain Free Dentist Hamilton
About Hamilton Dental Centre
Our mission is to deliver pain free dentistry to the people of Hamilton
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.

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 am rushed off my feet being mum to 3 amazing boys, and bonus mum to 2 wonderful stepdaughters. We love spending time together as a family and you will find us at the caravan most weekends. We love our little home from home! In my very little spare time, I love to spend time with my partner and go out for dinner and cocktails.

Hi there! My name is Audrey, and I am part of the dental nursing team at the practice and have worked at Hamilton Dental Centre for three years now.
What I love about my job is that it’s great to see how a patient’s journey starts, from their first appointment to the end of their treatment. It’s just so lovely to see them leave with huge smiles on their faces!
When I am not at work, I love to spend time with my family and friends.

Lisa McGowan
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.
I loved working in the surgery and have had the pleasure of meeting some amazing patients and clinicians over the years. Now I get to see things from another perspective and have the fantastic opportunity to grow Hamilton and see it become a huge part of the PFD group.
At home I love spending time with my granddaughter and watching her grow. I enjoy holidays, family time and helping run a dog rescue.
