dental scrubs & uniforms

A dentist’s uniform is typically referred to as dental scrubs. A standard dental scrub set includes a scrub top (or tunic) and matching trousers, designed for comfort, hygiene, and ease of movement during clinical procedures. Dental nurses and hygienists may also wear dental tunics, which is a more structured garment with a tailored fit and contrast trim options. In NHS settings, dental professionals wear standardised NHS Healthcare Uniforms in line with the NHS Healthcare Uniform Framework, which ensures consistency and infection control compliance across trusts. Some practices may also require lab coats or dental jackets for added protection in specific procedures.

In the UK, dentists and dental nurses commonly wear clinical dental scrubs or dental tunics paired with matching trousers. NHS dental practices typically follow the NHS Healthcare Uniform Framework for standardised uniform provision, while private practices often select dental uniforms that reflect their brand identity through custom colours and embroidered logos. Dental scrubs in the UK are designed to meet infection control guidelines and are available in a wide range of colours, fabrics, and fits. Our range includes lightweight stretch scrubs for all-day comfort to durable, through to industrial-washable garments suitable for high-volume clinical environments.

Dentists wear uniforms to maintain clinical hygiene, present a professional image, and protect both staff and patients from cross-contamination. High-quality dental scrubs and dental tunics are engineered for durability, infection control compliance, and ease of laundering at high temperatures. For larger dental organisations and NHS trusts, standardised dental uniforms also support role identification and brand consistency across multiple practice locations.

Dental scrubs are commonly available in calming, professional colours such as navy blue, royal blue, eau de nil, and bottle green. Many dental practices choose colours that reflect their brand or use colour-coding to differentiate roles, for example, dental nurses in one colour and dental hygienists in another. NHS dental practices typically follow the colour guidelines set out in the NHS Healthcare Uniform Framework. At alsico, our dental scrubs and dental tunics are available in over 10 colours, and our bespoke design service allows organisations to specify exact shades to match their brand identity.

When selecting a dental uniform supplier for a large dental group, NHS trust, or multi-site practice, key factors to consider include: the supplier’s experience with large-scale rollouts and contract management; their ability to provide a full range of dental scrubs, dental tunics, and dental nurse uniforms from a single source; bespoke design and branding capabilities; an online ordering and sizing portal for easy uniform management; and proven compliance with NHS and infection control standards.
