Our Team

At Cherrytree Dental Care, we are proud to be an independent, patient-focused dental practice in the heart of Broughty Ferry.

As principal dentists and co-owners, Dr Joanna Blundell and Dr Glen Milne share a clear vision to provide high-quality, modern dentistry in a calm and welcoming environment where every patient feels genuinely cared for.

Both originally from the Dundee area, and graduates of the University of Dundee, they have a strong connection to the local community and a shared commitment to delivering dentistry to the highest standard.

Before establishing Cherrytree Dental Care, Joanna and Glen gained extensive experience working in well-established, high-quality practices across Tayside and Perthshire. These experiences have shaped their approach today, combining clinical excellence and modern techniques with a more personal, thoughtful style of care.

However, Cherrytree is about far more than just the dentists. We are incredibly proud of the team around us, who play a vital role in every patient’s experience. From our skilled dental nurses to our friendly and knowledgeable reception team, every member of staff is committed to making your visit as smooth, comfortable, and positive as possible.

We work closely together as a team, ensuring that you feel supported from your first enquiry through to the completion of your treatment. It is this collaborative, patient-centred approach that allows us to deliver the level of care we would expect for our own family.

Our philosophy is simple: to treat every patient as an individual. This means taking the time to listen, explaining options clearly, and focusing on long-term results rather than quick fixes.

Cherrytree Dental Care reflects that vision, a practice that blends advanced dentistry with a friendly, down-to-earth approach, where patients can feel comfortable, confident, and well looked after at every stage of their journey.
