The Journey Behind City Dental Care

City Dental Care is the story of three dentists and two friendships formed across Europe. Dr. Hamza Al Haddad and Dr. Feras Elbiss met as students in Prague; Dr. Christopher Sarafiant and Dr. Hamza later trained together in Vilnius. Three different journeys into dentistry — and one shared idea of what patient care should feel like.

Scotland is where those paths met. Dr. Feras had already established his career here, and Dr. Christopher — who grew up in Scotland — was glad to return. With all three in Edinburgh, the friendships became a partnership: complementary skills, a common standard, and the ambition to build a practice of their own.

When the opportunity came to take over the former City Health Clinic on Earl Grey Street, the three founders rebranded it together as City Dental Care — a practice built on a shared mission: exceptional dentistry, and patient care that goes out of its way for everyone who walks in.
