Grant Fraser

Grant Fraser


BDS (Aberdeen) GDC number 244830

Hello, my name is Grant and I am the practice owner and principal dentist here at Davidson’s Mains Dental.

I am originally from the north east of Scotland, where I graduated with a BSc in 2009 and then in 2013 with a BDS from the University of Aberdeen. Since qualifying I have pursued extensive postgraduate training in restorative and aesthetic dentistry, with a particular focus on dental implants.
Restorative dentistry is at the heart of what I do. I take real satisfaction in rebuilding smiles that have been affected by damage, decay or missing teeth.Rrestoring not just how a smile looks, but how it feels and functions day to day. I have a special interest in dental implants as a natural-looking, long-lasting way to replace missing teeth and give patients back their confidence. Alongside this, I offer clear aligner treatment with Invisalign to straighten teeth discreetly.
I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry and love keeping up to date with new techniques and current evidence-based practice. Outside of dentistry I enjoy playing golf, running, travelling and spending time with my family.
