John A Price (Male)
Principal Dentist
GDC 85447 registered 2005
BDS Glas 2005
John grew up in Westhill, Aberdeenshire. His vocational training year was completed in Port Glasgow, followed by time spent in oral surgery at Dundee Dental Hospital, community dentistry in Aberdeen and a year in the maxillofacial department of the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow.

John Coxshott (Male)
Associate Dentist
GDC 58830 registered 1984
BDS Glas 1984
John was Principal Dentist at Mains Drive Dental for 25 years. He handed over the reins to John Price in 2013, in order to spend some time with his family, while ensuring that the care of all patients at Mains Drive Dental was in safe hands. Truth be told, he missed both the work and the patients, not to mention the Mains Drive Dental family, and jumped at the chance to return to the practice. He remains committed to providing a high quality of care in a pleasant environment, and is very much enjoying being part of the team. In his spare time he likes to keep fit, and has recently taken up motorcycling. A mid-life crisis - provided he lives to 116 - so far, so good! He looks forward to welcoming faces old and new.
Paige E Shaw (Female)
Associate Dentist
GDC 251233 registered 2014
BDS Glas 2014
Paige grew up locally in Erskine and graduated from Glasgow Dental School in 2014 with a BDS Honours degree. After graduation she worked as a General Dental Practitioner and then spent time working in both the Oral Surgery Department in Glasgow Dental Hospital and for the Public Dental Service, treating anxious children & disabled people. She has since done extensive training in facial aesthetics making her an advanced practitioner in this field. Now working full time in general practice she looks forward to fulfilling your dental and facial aesthetics requirements.
