Barns Dental Practice

We are a friendly family practice situated in Ayr town centre, dedicated to providing high quality dental treatment in a modern and pleasant environment. Our Dentists, David Shields, Fiona Piper, John Paul Flanigan, and Lorna Johnston, are all committed to their profession and subscribe to life-long continuous education.

We welcome new patients to the practice and are always happy to be recommended by existing patients. We are a committed NHS practice and offer a full range of NHS treatments in addition to private alternatives. We register all patients as NHS patients unless requested to do otherwise.

With the assistance of our colleagues in Childsmile, Orthodontic and Maxillofacial teams at local hospitals and administrators we have access to a comprehensive healthcare team.We are always happy to answer any questions you have about joining the practice. After your initial consultation we will provide you with an estimate of the cost of your treatment.

If you have a problem during surgery hours, please telephone the practice as early as possible. We have dedicated appointments set aside every day for emergencies. Even if these appointments are already allocated, we will see you as soon as possible, but please be patient. It may not be your own dentist who attends to you but you will get pain relief.
