The one question everyone asks
Is it worth the trip?
6,000 +
Patients registered with us last year.
If the drive wasn't worth it, they wouldn't do it.
6,000+ patients registered with us last year — from Hawick and from right across the Scottish Borders. If it wasn’t worth it, they wouldn’t do it.
Wherever you’re coming from — Kelso, Selkirk, Jedburgh, Melrose, Duns, Peebles, or anywhere in between — we’re easy to reach and worth the trip. Once your dental health is stable (which we aim to achieve within 3 months), you’ll only need to come back twice a year for routine check-ups.
That’s a small amount of travel a year in exchange for a healthy mouth and a dentist who actually knows you.
Weekend and evening appointments. You don’t have to take time off work to make the journey.
Straightforward drive. Free parking on site. Directions sent with your appointment confirmation.
Bring the whole family. Register everyone at once and coordinate appointments to make a single trip count.
If you're on this page
You've already tried everything locally.
This isn’t about not trying hard enough. NHS dental access across the Scottish Borders is a systemic problem that thousands of people share. You’re not alone — and you’re not stuck.
Not accepting new patients
Not accepting new patients. Every surgery, every time. NHS dentist lists across the Scottish Borders are at capacity — it's not one practice, it's the whole system.
Years on a waiting list going nowhere
Years on a waiting list going nowhere. You registered and heard nothing. Meanwhile small problems become expensive ones. Every month without a dentist is a month your teeth go backwards.
Private quotes you can't justify
Private quotes you can't justify. You've been quoted hundreds of pounds for a check-up that NHS entitles you to at Band 1 pricing. It shouldn't cost this much just to get in a chair.
A toothache you've been ignoring
A toothache you've been ignoring. You know you need to be seen. You're just out of options locally. There's an answer — and it's in Hawick.

Before you register
Questions Scottish Borders patients ask us
Still not sure? Just call us.
We’re happy to answer any questions before you register. No pressure — just honest information.
I'm not in Hawick — can I really register with you?
Yes. GK Dental accepts new NHS patients from right across the Scottish Borders — Kelso, Selkirk, Jedburgh, Melrose, Duns, Peebles and beyond. You don’t need to live in Hawick itself to register.
What's the easiest way to get to you?
We’re on the High Street in Hawick with free parking on site. Most Scottish Borders towns are within an easy drive — full directions are sent when you register.
Is it easy to get to you without a car?
Driving is the most practical option for most of the Borders, as public transport links between towns can involve a change or two. If you need help planning your visit, let us know when you register and we’ll advise on the best route from your area.
Can I switch from another NHS dentist to you?
Yes — you simply register as a new patient at GK Dental Hawick. There’s no formal “transfer” process required, you just stop being seen at your previous practice.
Will my dental records transfer from my old practice?
Our team can request your previous records once you register — just let us know your former dentist’s details on your first visit.
Where exactly are you located?
We’re at 54 High Street, Hawick, TD9 9EE, right in the heart of the Scottish Borders. Free parking is available on site, and full directions are sent when you register.
Are weekend appointments realistic if I'm travelling in?
Yes — we offer weekend availability specifically because many of our patients travel in from elsewhere in the Borders and prefer to combine the visit with a day off work.
