These industry awards, judged by dentists recognises the best that dentistry in the UK has to offer.

We’ve been recognised for the uniquely relaxing environment we’ve created for patients.

Many patients get nervous and anxious when visiting the dentist. Dr Nikita says, “creating a calm, relaxing atmosphere for patients to de-stress before their appointment was a key consideration when designing and selecting a location for the dental practice”.

Dr Shabnam added, “we are delighted the industry has recognised our efforts in building a patient centric dental practice, which we designed to help calm and relax patients and to provide a refreshingly unique experience”.
