Our story

Seventy years of West End dentistry, under new care

West End Smiles was formerly known as Cadden Dental Clinic, with roots in Glasgow's West End stretching back more than 70 years. Under new ownership, we've kept what generations of patients trusted and brought in modern equipment, a calmer setting, and a renewed promise: you come first.

That means time to ask questions, treatment explained in plain terms before anything starts, and a practice built to put nervous patients and children at ease.

  • Same trusted faces, visit after visit
