What a transformation
The recently opened Dental Clinic Ayr is a showcase for IWT Dental Supplies' expertise and exceptional service.
The Dental Clinic Ayr
Miller Road in Ayr is named after John Watson Miller, a master gunsmith who made his fortune in India catering to the demand for high-quality firearms among the British military and colonial elite. In 1852, on his return to Scotland, Miller purchased the barony of Montgomerieston, the site of an old Cromwellian Fort, and set about developing the area, including the building of a classic Victorian residential street that would take his name.
Number 13 Miller Road was one of several blonde sandstone fronted townhouses that were home to Ayr’s merchant and professional classes. Throughout the mid-to-late 20th century, like many of its neighbours, Number 13 transitioned from a private residence into an office and commercial space – and today it is home to The Dental Clinic Ayr, founded by Dr Ailey McAllister.
Somewhat rundown when Ailey took it over in October last year, today the building has been transformed – thanks to her building contractor partner, who undertook the physical renovation, and to IWT Dental Supplies Ltd, who provided surgery layout drawings and management support to the building contractor team.
In addition, IWT Dental supplied three Siger U-500 ambidextrous dental chair packages, three Durr VSA single surgery suction motors, a Durr Vista Pano – 2D – Digital OPT machine, a Durr Vista Scan, intraoral x-ray scanner with smart scan technology, NSK iCare Hand piece cleaner, Bien-Air dental hand pieces, two Mocom B Classic – 22 Sterilisers, a MOCOM – D60 Tethys Range Washer, three Myray RXDC Intra oral x-ray machines with wireless firing switches and DenComp DC 4 dental compressor.
The clinic, born of Ailey’s commitment to addressing the critical shortage of NHS dental services in South Ayrshire and aiming to provide high-quality care to a community facing long waiting lists, has three dentists, a dental therapist, a dental hygienist and support staff.

It opened its doors in early February, with a visit from the local MP, Elaine Stewart, later that month to celebrate the launch. As well as being the home of first-class dental care, to patients the clinic’s comforting interior feels like home; relaxing and stylish – but with a structural design that also pays tribute to its historic past.
