The Faithlie Dental Centre became one of the first NHS Grampian health projects delivered through hub North Scotland when it was handed over to the organisation in January 2014.

The development, located on the Fraserburgh Hospital site in Aberdeenshire, is unique in that it provides NHS and private dentistry services as well as a specialist service for children and patients with learning disabilities. Serving the people of Fraserburgh and the surrounding area, the facility has been delivered in response to an increase in demand for dental services within the area.

The contemporary 495 sq metre building is home to five separate dental suites and incorporates 15 rooms in total. A number of cutting edge photovoltaic panels were included in the design and are being used to generate electricity to power the building. The facility also includes a range of state-of-the-art X-ray equipment meaning that visitors can have their full dental needs met within the centre, eliminating the need to travel to Aberdeen and further afield for treatment.

Built by Morrison Construction in partnership with hub North Scotland and financed through NHS Grampian capital funding, the entire project, with the exception of the specialist dental fit out, was completed using the contractor’s local supply chain partners.
