The inspiration for our practice begins with your smile and our deep roots in Bruntsfield. For over one hundred years, our clinic at 189 Bruntsfield Place has been a consistent provider of dental care. Families across generations have attended our practice in pursuit of better oral health, and although the passage of time has brought change to dentistry, we remain dedicated to continuing that legacy with a modern and thoughtful approach.
Through Chapter One, we introduce a renewed commitment to patient-centred care, supporting every stage of the dental journey. From early childhood visits to long-term oral health maintenance, our focus remains on preserving confidence, comfort and function.

Our Slow Dentistry philosophy at Chapter One ensures treatments are carried out with minimal trauma in calm, comfortable environments. We prioritise gentle techniques and advanced materials to protect oral structures. This approach reduces discomfort while maintaining high standards of care. Patients experience reassuring treatment conditions designed for safety and wellbeing. 
As parents ourselves, we appreciate how important it is to create positive dental experiences for children from the very beginning. We aim to build trust from the first appointment and encourage curiosity in young patients. Our approach supports lifelong oral health habits. We strive to ensure every visit is calm, reassuring, and constructive. 
We offer dental implant solutions supported by CBCT scanning and guided placement technology for exceptional accuracy. Under the leadership of Dr Chris Chisholm, treatment is carefully planned and delivered with precision. Our focus is on comfort, predictability, and long-term success, ensuring each patient receives a tailored and dependable restorative outcome. 
At Chapter One Dentistry, we provide composite fillings that blend naturally with teeth. We use precise techniques and modern materials for lasting restorative care. Decay is removed, then resin is layered, shaped and light-cured. Signs include sensitivity, dark areas, pain when chewing or chipped teeth. We recommend early treatment to maintain oral health and prevent worsening decay. 
At Chapter One, we adopt a considered approach to restoring teeth that are damaged or weakened, and a dental crown may be the most appropriate solution. Using modern techniques and advanced materials, we create restorations that are durable and natural in appearance. Digital scanning enables precise design for a comfortable fit. This ensures a seamless result that supports long-term oral health.
