Who We Are

Morven Gordon-Duff is the clinical director as well as the principal dentist in the practice. She qualified as a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) in 2002 from the University of Glasgow. After graduation, she spent several years working as a Senior House Officer in the Maxillofacial Unit at the Southern General Hospital and in the Oral Surgery/Conservative Dentistry Departments at the Glasgow Dental Hospital. During this period of extended training, she gained Membership of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Glasgow (MFDS RCPS) and she also sits on the Scottish Dental Practice Committee through the BDA, where she enjoys being able to make a difference within dentistry in Scotland.

She has also worked as an associate dentist in several busy NHS practices in Glasgow and as a locum dentist in New Zealand. She was delighted to be shortlisted for the UK Young Dentist of the Year and was the very proud winner of the Employer of the Year at the Scottish Dental Awards in 2015.

As a phobic dental patient herself, she completely understands how it feels to be scared of dental treatment, especially needles. Her aim is to make your treatment at the Deveron Dental Centre as relaxing and comfortable as possible and she has trained her staff to help nervous patients cope with dental treatment.

Morven is one of only a few fully trained Invisalign Platinum Providers within the Aberdeenshire area, and is very experienced in helping to straighten your teeth and improve your smile.

Having been a vocational trainer since 2010, this means that she is a mentor to young dentists during their first year after qualification. Morven finds this role to be extremely rewarding as she is able to her vocational trainee grow in confidence and improve their skills throughout the year.

Outside of work, Morven can be found either at the side of a football/rugby pitch cheering her son and his team on, or touring Scotland with her daughter for Highland Dancing competitions!  She also enjoys going on walks with her husband and dog Bramble.

She does her best to inspire her team, and it’s her aim to create a unique atmosphere at the Deveron Dental Centre.  She looks forward to welcoming you to her surgery!
