BDS Dundee 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 with a 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.

Blair MacDonald

Associate Dentist

BDS University of Glasgow 2017 

GDC Number: 270481 

Hello, I’m Blair and I am a dentist here at Infinityblu. I grew up in a small village called Milton of Campsie on the outskirts of Glasgow. 

I graduated in 2017 from the University of Glasgow after 5 years of study. I have worked in general dental practices in Lanarkshire and Ayrshire over the last 7 years, providing both NHS and private treatments. I moved to the area from Glasgow in July 2024 with my wife and I look forward to exploring the borders and beyond. 

I like to get to know all of my patients, addressing any queries and concerns they have. My aim is to deliver high quality dentistry in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

Over the years as a dentist, I have developed skills in aesthetic dentistry. This has allowed me to offer clear aligners to straighten the teeth and cosmetic treatments improve appearance and function of the teeth.

Football has been a hobby of mine since childhood and my weekends are filled with watching the pro’s or playing amateurs myself (very badly). 

I have also recently got into triathlon with a few races booked over the next few months.

He began his career in Dundee and then St Andrews. Now he works across multiple sites within Infinity Blu, bringing a wealth of experience and a calm, reassuring approach to our teams. 

Seb has completed advanced postgraduate training, including a prestigious Postgraduate Certificate in Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry with the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a certificate in periodontal (gum) surgery through Perioacademy. He is also a member of the UK Association of Dental Implants and the Faculty of Dental Surgery in Glasgow.

His commitment to ongoing learning, both in the UK and internationally, has led to a special interest in implant dentistry, advanced gum treatments, and laser dentistry. From saving natural teeth with state of the art techniques to providing comfortable and natural-looking tooth replacements, Seb is passionate about restoring both smiles and confidence.

In recent years, Seb has focused extensively on dental implants, using the latest digital technology to replace anything from a single missing tooth to a full arch of teeth with fixed, non-removable solutions. He also supports and mentors fellow dentists within the Infinity Blu team who are beginning their implant journey, which he finds deeply rewarding.

Having worked in private practice throughout most of his career, Seb has been part of two award-winning teams recognised as Scotland’s Best Digital Dental Practice. His goal is always to provide exceptional care that is comfortable, predictable, and tailored to your needs, often showing you exactly what to expect before treatment even begins. His approach puts you firmly in control, every step of the way.

Outside of dentistry, Seb grew up in Edinburgh and later moved to Dundee for university. He was passionate about football and music during his school and university years, playing in various bands and orchestras. These days, he enjoys golf and travelling. His family still live in Edinburgh, and his sister is currently completing a master’s degree in linguistics.

Testimonials from happy patients:

“I found the whole visit pleasant, professionally excellent and thoroughly to be recommended. I was very impressed by the manner of Sebastian, my dentist, and his ability to relate to my own needs and wishes.”

“Regular patient for many years. Fully endorse excellent high quality patient-oriented service. Latest visit again fulfils, exceeds expectations. I'm a retired medic and can judge the skill with which Seb works. Wouldn't dream of going elsewhere.”

“For someone who quite frankly has a phobia of dentists Sebastian puts you at ease and the (if this is possible) most pain free experience. Highly recommended.”

“Seb made me feel really comfortable and picked up things that no other dentists have previously. He has gone above and beyond so far to help me out with all my dental needs. Would 100% recommend”
