Glasgow Airport to get its own dental practice
It will serve local residents as well as employees of the airport and surrounding businesses.
Plans to create a dental practice near Glasgow Airport, offering both NHS and private dentistry, have been submitted to Renfrewshire Council.
Helix Architecture Studio, of Falkirk, is seeking planning permission on behalf of an applicant for the transformation of a unit at Marchburn Drive, just south of the airport terminal building.
The application states: “The dental clinic will primarily serve employees working within the business estate, as well as staff from various companies based at Glasgow Airport.
The clinic’s presence will enhance local amenities and support the growing needs of the area’s workforce

“This part of the application recognises that the airport functions as a community in its own right, and having a conveniently located dental clinic will be a welcome service for its workforce.
“Currently, the majority of dental clinics in the area are located in Paisley town centre or Renfrew, leaving those living and working in the northern parts of Paisley and western Renfrew without easy access to dental care.
“This proposed clinic will address this gap by offering services to both residents and the local working population. It will also provide NHS treatment, helping to ease the waiting list for NHS dental services in the area. This will benefit the wider community, particularly by improving access to essential healthcare services.”
The statement concluded: “The proposed dental clinic is well-suited to the premises and complements the surrounding Class 4 uses, while also providing much-needed healthcare services to the local business community and residents. The clinic’s presence will enhance local amenities and support the growing needs of the area’s workforce.”
