Dr Usman Ullah

Clinical Director & Lead Domiciliary Dentist
BDS (Dundee), GDC No: 113427

Dr Usman Ullah is the Clinical Director and Founder of Care Home Dental, with over 15 years’ experience delivering domiciliary dental care across Scotland, alongside ongoing work as a general dental practitioner.

After graduating from Dundee University in 2007, Dr Ullah made a deliberate decision early in his career to develop a strong focus on caring for adults who are unable to access traditional high‑street dental services. Since 2008, he has worked extensively in care homes, patients’ own homes, and complex community settings, supporting individuals with frailty, dementia, physical disability, and advanced medical needs.

Alongside his domiciliary work, Dr Ullah continues to provide general dental care in clinical practice, ensuring his skills remain current across the full scope of primary dental care.

Dr Ullah is an Adults with Incapacity (AWI)–trained dentist with extensive experience in:

• Capacity assessment
• Section 47 certification
• Working with Welfare Powers of Attorney, Welfare Guardians, and Intervention Orders
• Delivering care that is legally robust, ethical, and inspection‑ready

He works closely with Care Home Managers, Oral Health Champions, nursing teams, and families to ensure oral health needs are met safely and in line with Caring for Smiles, Care Inspectorate expectations, and NHS governance.

In his domiciliary role, Dr Ullah provides dental care using a fully equipped mobile dental service, reducing distress, avoiding unnecessary hospital transport, and minimising risk for residents and care staff.

In addition to direct clinical care, Dr Ullah regularly supports care homes with:

• Oral health assessments for new admissions
• Ongoing review of residents with deteriorating oral health
• Practical guidance and confidence‑building for care staff
• Clear, auditable documentation to support inspections

His approach is calm, patient‑centred, and pragmatic — particularly when working with individuals living with dementia or those who find clinical environments overwhelming.

Care Home Dental was established to provide reliable, dedicated dental support for care homes and families who need more than a standard dental appointment — they need a service that understands complex care, legal frameworks, and real‑world constraints.
