Expert Care by Dr. Ashley Chisholm
Dr. Ashley Chisholm leads the aesthetic treatments at the clinic. Dr. Chisholm holds a Master’s degree in Restorative Dentistry from the University of Edinburgh. This specialist has also completed membership exams for the Royal College of Surgeons. With international training in composite bonding, Dr. Chisholm focuses on creating natural-looking smiles through precise resin application.
Advanced Planning and Process
The clinic uses digital tools to help patients plan their new look. Before any work begins, a digital smile design is created. This allows you to preview the final shape and size of your teeth. You can even evaluate a prototype to see how the changes fit your face. The bonding process includes several steps:
- Consultation – Discussing goals and performing a digital scan of the teeth.
- Preparation – The dentist lightly prepares the tooth surface to help the resin stick.
- Application – A tooth-coloured resin is applied and carefully shaped by hand.
- Hardening – A special curing light sets the material in seconds.
- Polishing – The final step makes the resin look like natural tooth enamel.
Indications and Benefits
Dental bonding is a minimally invasive choice for many dental issues. It is often used to close unwanted gaps or repair cracked teeth. It also works well for covering stubborn stains that whitening cannot fix. The treatment is pain-free, as the clinic uses advanced numbing techniques for comfort. Because the process does not require removing much tooth structure, there is zero downtime. You can leave the clinic with a finished smile in just one visit.

Chapter One Dental Clinic: more details about the clinic
United Kingdom, Edinburgh
Chapter One Dental Clinic is a private dental practice in Edinburgh's Bruntsfield district. The facility focuses on family care and restorative treatments across six departments. Lead clinicians Dr. Ashley Chisholm and Dr. Chris Chisholm manage the practice using a digital workflow.
Specialized Dental Care and Statistics
The clinic's medical team consists of three doctors. Dr. Chris Chisholm has around 20 years of clinical experience. He is a Tier 3 Associate Fellow with the Association of Dental Implantology. Dr. Ashley Chisholm focuses on aesthetic dentistry and restorative techniques. Dr. Katie McDonald-Meyer manages the pediatric department. She holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Paediatric Dentistry with Distinction from UCL Eastman.
Restorative and cosmetic procedures at the clinic include:
- Dental implant placement and restoration
- Full-arch implant-fixed complete dentures
- Invisalign clear aligner orthodontics
- Composite bonding and tooth-colored fillings
- Root canal treatment (endodontics)
- Dental onlays and crowns
For patients with dental anxiety, the team offers inhalation sedation on Saturdays. This service is available for children and young people.
Pediatric Dentistry
Dr. Katie McDonald-Meyer provides dental care for children and adolescents. The practice emphasizes prevention and behavior management during visits. Consultations for young patients cover several areas:
- Teething and wobbly tooth guidance
- Playful brushing techniques
- Thumb-sucking cessation support
- Fluoride application and habit building
The pediatric team builds confidence through gentle guidance. This approach helps reduce dental phobia from the first childhood visit.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
Chapter One Dental Clinic uses digital tools to plan and perform procedures. For implant planning, the team uses CBCT Vatech imaging. This technology provides 3D scans of the jaw and bone structure. The clinic also uses 3Shape 3D scanners for intraoral digital impressions. These scans replace traditional putty molds for aligners and restorative planning.
The clinic uses specific platforms for hygiene and accuracy:
- Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) with EMS Dental UK
- AQUACARE Airflow for gentle teeth cleaning
- Pearl AI software for diagnostic support
- Dentally software for digital record management
Guided Biofilm Therapy offers a modern approach to dental hygiene. It is more comfortable than traditional scaling.
Services for International Patients
The practice supports international families by keeping all digital scan records in one place. This reduces the need for repeated imaging. Clinicians conduct thorough consultations before starting complex restorative work. Digital workflows allow predictable planning, so patients traveling from outside Edinburgh can coordinate visits easily. All administration runs through secure digital platforms.

Chris has just fitted two implants for me and they look amazing. Very natural looking. Chris explained the whole procedure very clearly and was happy to answer any questions or worries. It was a pain free experience. Chris is extremely laid back and makes you feel very relaxed. The decor is absolutely stunning. A very modern and calm environment unlike most dentists. Receptionist is very friendly and extremely helpful. His wife Ashley has been my dentist for about 7 years and I would not go anywhere else. She gives you great advice and explains all options available. I don’t worry about going to the dentist as I know I am in safe hands and I am going to get the best treatment. Such a lovely couple. If you are looking for a new dentist, I would highly recommend Chris and Ashley.

A Fantastic Dental Experience
I recently had a guided Bio Film Therapy treatment, and I honestly couldn’t have been more impressed. From the moment I walked in, it didn’t feel like a traditional dentist at all — the whole place felt more like a luxury health spa.
The treatment itself was exceptional. The guided Bio Film Therapy was explained clearly and carried out in such a calm, gentle and professional way. I felt completely relaxed throughout, and it was great to have the focus on prevention and overall oral health rather than simply treating problems when they arise.
The surroundings, atmosphere and attention to detail really made the experience stand out. It’s a refreshing approach to dentistry and one that makes you actually look forward to going back!
Five stars from me — a genuinely first-class dental experience. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Having switched dentists after several awful experiences, I visited Ashley and Chris. On my first routine check up, it was discovered I had bone erosion and my root canal was no longer viable. Diagnosed thanks to Chapter One’s modern tech. Whilst I was extremely anxious about treatment, I was grateful for it to have been caught, and over the last few months I have had absolutely expert care and follow up from Chris. The new implant matches perfectly, and I appreciated that Chris would have settled for nothing less. I cannot recommend Ashley and Chris highly enough. A great team.

I had to have two implants in the top front of my mouth. It turned out to be a bit more complicated because I required a bone graft from my lower jaw. I am 100% satisfied with both the process and the end result.
Chris was just outstanding and is clearly very passionate about his work. Throughout, he kept me relaxed and comfortable - despite whatever was happening inside my mouth! After the procedure Chris was attentive in his follow up. Should I ever need another implant I would have no hesitation in asking Chris to do it for me.

I recently completed my dental implant journey with Chris at Chapter One Dental. I was quite nervous at first, but the entire team was amazing at putting me at ease. The procedure was painless, and they explained every step along the way. My new implant looks and feels completely natural. I cannot recommend them enough!
Many thanks

Chris Chisholm has looked after my teeth for a number of years and also ‘fitted’ my implants. He is a very calm professional who instils confidence and trust even in someone who is scared stiff.
Chapter One offer great dental services with very nice staff - can’t say better than that.

Chris is a great dentist. Over the last 10 years Chris has provided dental care involving fillings/overlays/crowns and implants (I’m at that age!). I have been more than satisfied with the care, support and treatments I’ve received during this time.

I am delighted with the excellent dental treatment that I have received from Chris Chisholm. In particular I highly recommend him for dental implants. Chris is a highly skilled and experienced dentist, specialising in implants. He is always prompt to respond, puts me at ease and takes time to explain procedures. I am very happy with all the implants which I have had from Chris.

The wonderful Ashley. The only dentist to have succeeded in putting me at ease. So sad when she left Hope Park but I found her again!
