Dr. Matthew Dickie, BDS, MFDS RCPS (GLA)
Principal Dentist
Matthew's passion is making aesthetic and functional improvements to his patient's smile. He brings Invisalign to the practice allowing us to achieve the straight smile you have always dreamed of. By utilising advances in digital dentistry he is able to show patients a simulation of where their smile could end up following treatment. He firmly believes that digital dentistry is the way forward and using an Itero intra-oral scanner helps with this.
Matthew graduated from Glasgow Dental Hospital in 2015. Since then he has worked in numerous care settings gaining a broad experience of high quality, and modern dentistry. In 2017, Matthew was accepted as a Member of the Faculty of Dentistry at Glasgow's Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons following written and oral examinations, demonstrating an extensive knowledge of general dentistry. Over the past two years Matthew was working in private practice in New Zealand. After his return to the UK and his marriage to Becky, the couple decided to relocate to the North of Scotland.
He has a wonderful manner with patients, facilitating conversations around his patients wants and desires for their smile. He is passionate about the importance of impeccable oral hygiene and empowering patients to take control of this. He likes to use pictures and drawings to educate his patients of issues encountered and the different options available.
Matthew was instrumental in the reformation of the Highland Local Dental Committee, fostering a network of dentists throughout the Highlands Health Board.
Outside of dentistry, Matthew enjoys cycling and watching rugby as he no longer plays. Catching up with his friends and family is very important to Matthew. He is always experimenting in the kitchen and throughout lockdown has been developing his sourdough baking skills
