"The Linden Tree is a wonderful symbol of strength, healing and community" Stephanie Kerk

In rural Eastern Germany, where Stephanie Kerk grew up, the Linden Tree was at the heart of every community. Typically located in the village square, the Linden Tree was the focal point for locals to gather and share stories.

As well as a symbol for community spirit, the medicinal properties of the Linden Tree have been well documented throughout history, treating everything from anxiety to high blood pressure.

Feeling instantly at home when spotting Linden Trees here in Scotland, Stephanie felt that they embodied the philosophy of her newly established dental practice. She wanted to serve the local community within a healing environment, where dentist and client are equal partners in a journey towards great oral health.

Preventative dentistry is one of the guiding principles at The Linden Tree.

Stephanie and her team believe that this proactive approach to dentistry is the key to good oral health. As oral health is intrinsically connected to the health of the body as a whole, the result for the client, is better overall well-being.
