Chris Barrowman

Owner, Dentist and Dental Implant Surgeon 

BDS Dund 2001 | GDC Number: 79642

Chris is the founder and owner of Infinityblu Dental Care & Implant Clinic, one of Scotland’s best known and most respected dental brands. With over 20 years of experience in the dental field and a specialized focus on dental implants and full-arch restorations, Chris has built a thriving group of 12 highly regarded dental practices across Scotland. Infinityblu is known for its commitment to exceptional patient care, cutting-edge technology, and a culture of continuous learning and mentorship.

Chris’ journey into dentistry began graduating in 2001 from University of Dundee. Chris immediately developed a passion for transforming lives through high-quality dental care and had a drive to ensure excellence in patient experience, and to bring a fresh, patient-centred approach to the dental industry.

Infinityblu Dental Care & Implant Clinic was born out of Chris’ deep commitment to delivering not just quality dentistry, but life-changing outcomes for patients. His vision was to create a dental brand that offered more than routine care—a place where patients felt listened to, respected, and part of their own treatment journey. This vision for Infinityblu and for what it stands for has shaped the brand from day one, as Chris opened the first Infinityblu practice with a focus on personalized, patient-first care.

What started as a single squat dental practice In the Highland village of Pitlochry in Perthshire, has grown into a group of 12 successful dental clinics spread between Perthshire, Stirlingshire, Fife and the Scottish Borders, each sharing the same dedication to clinical excellence and outstanding patient service. Infinityblu has become a trusted name across Scotland, widely recognized for its uncompromising commitment to quality. Infinityblu now has grown to over 40 dentists, 10 hygienists/therapists and over 125 team members.

From the start, Chris built Infinityblu with a patient-centred philosophy at its core. Each practice under the Infinityblu brand offers a welcoming environment where patients are treated with the utmost care and respect by a highly skilled and supportive team. Recognizing the anxiety many people associate with dental visits, the Infinityblu teams go above and beyond to create a positive, comfortable experience for every patient.

Every aspect of the patient journey—from the initial consultation to the final treatment outcome—is individually created to provide clarity, comfort, and confidence. Infinityblu has redefined what it means to offer truly patient-centred care.

With 20 years’ experience in dental implants, Chris is known for his expertise in complex implant procedures such as full-arch dental implant restorations, where an entire set of teeth can be replaced using dental implants. These transformative procedures are life-changing for patients who have struggled with missing teeth or poor dental function, allowing them to regain confidence in their smile and improve their overall quality of life.

Using advanced technologies such as 3D imaging, guided implant placement, Chris can offer predictable successful results.

Yvonne Bruehmann

Dentist

ZA (Germany 2005) | GDC Number: 101482

Yvonne qualified in Germany in 2005 as Zahnarzt (ZA) which is the German equivalent to the British BDS.

She has been working in Scotland ever since. Yvonne owned our practice in Callander for five years but decided to focus solely on dentistry again and now works as dental associate.

She provides all fields of dentistry and enjoys focusing on the less invasive options to give her patients a long term functional and comfortable healthy mouth.

Yvonne employs the latest technologies using intraoral scanners and digital dentistry to provide crown and bridge work which is high in its accuracy.

She has several years of experience in restoring implants.

Yvonne is a member of the BSDSM (British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine) and provides various types of Antisnoring and/or Sleep Apnoea appliances.

One of Yvonne’s particular interest lies in clear aligner therapy, such as Invisalign, which uses clear removable aligners to help relieve crowding, misalignment or spacing of teeth in adults and teenagers as an alternative to fixed braces.

Invisalign can be used as stand-alone treatment to improve the position of teeth or combined with composite bonding or SmileFast to enhance the aesthetic outcome.

Moving teeth and making them straighter has not only aesthetic purpose but can improve the overall oral health. Moving teeth out of less favourable positions, will make them easier cleanable and therefore can reduce the risk of gum disease and caries. Sometimes teeth can be poorly positioned and are at risk of increased wear or chipping. Moving these teeth into a more harmonic position can keep them stronger and help improve your overall bite.

With SmileFast she can create smile makeovers using composite bonding or ceramics showing you a digital smile design and trial smile previews in the planning process.

In her free time Yvonne plays the fiddle and enjoys hiking and exploring the hills.
