Principal dentist and owner of Edinburgh Gums & Teeth (Edinburgh G&T or EGT for short), Dr Axel Drews is a highly skilled practitioner committed to delivering the highest standards of dental care. Graduating from the University of Mainz in Germany in 2005, he completed his PhD the following year.

Dr Drews’ career has been defined by a steadfast belief in quality over quantity. He travels internationally to gather the best information available from courses and dental conventions, and mentors internationally. He is a member of the British Dental Association (BDA), German Dental Association (FVDZ), and the International Team of Implantology (ITI).

Beyond his clinical work, Dr Drews is passionate about mentoring the new generation of dentists in Scotland.

“After 19 years of experience in private dentistry, I am very excited to introduce a revolutionary opportunity for dentists in Scotland, with a multidisciplinary approach and a wealth of expertise,” he said.

Most dentists across Scotland face a common challenge: the need to refer patients to more experienced colleagues. This can disrupt the dentist-patient relationship and create obstacles in growing their own expertise. EGT is introducing its Mentoring Programme to assist in all fields of dental treatments, starting from composite fillings to more advanced Root Canal Treatments, tips and tricks for restoring failing dentition in the elderly, extraction techniques with bone preservation – leading towards implant placement.

As an Invisalign Platinum Elite provider, Dr Drews regularly combines adult orthodontics as an ortho-restorative solution. Under the mentorship programme, candidates can learn the safe planning and provision of Invisalign and perform advanced treatments under the direct supervision of Dr Drews and his team.

This win-win-win scenario ensures:

Patients stay with their trusted dentist while receiving expert care.
Dentists gain practical knowledge and skills, improving their confidence, career prospects and job satisfaction.
EGT helps expand the dental community’s expertise by sharing its advanced tools and techniques.

This innovative approach allows dentists to continue earning while learning. Instead of paying high fees for courses, they’re paid for their work as they master new techniques.

“If you’re a dentist looking to expand your skills, and you’re interested in joining our mentoring programme, contact us to accelerate your career in dentistry,” said Dr Drews. “Together, let’s shape the future of dentistry in Scotland.”
