Lawrence Sharkey
*Pain Free Dentist. GDC No. 270595
Lawrence is the winner of two prestigious dental awards this year due to his exceptional aesthetic dental work. Starting from a young age Lawrence invested heavily into learning and is able to combine a variety of different techniques including tooth straightening, composite bonding, minimally invasive ceramic veneers, dental implants, laser dentistry, digital dentistry, facial aesthetics, same-day smile, digital smile design and Invisalign to create world-class smile makeovers
His patients have certified him as a pain free dentist so they need not fear coming to see him. For those that do require a little extra help, Lawrence provides IV sedation for anyone particularly nervous. Lawrence has ensured all of his dental work is pain free and is so confident in his belief that he gives any patients their money back if they do feel pain. This makes sure all have access to life-changing smiles.
Lawrence grew up performing in Carluke with Shine. You may recognise Lawrence’s face from there, in Glasgow’s King’s Theatre or London’s West End! Lawrence departed from his theatrics and chose a career path in dentistry after being inspired into the medical field by his gran who was a Midwife in Bellshill Maternity Hospital. The autonomy of dentistry, the chance to directly impact people’s lives positively and the ability to have a life outside of work attracted Lawrence to the profession.
Outside of dentistry when Lawrence isn’t studying for his restorative diploma, he enjoys the Scottish Highland Munro’s, skiing, running, and generally keeping fit.
