STAFF at a Bromsgrove’s New Road Dental practice are celebrating after being nominated for three accolades in a prestigious national competition.
Employees are in the running for Practice of the Year, North and Central, Practice Team of the Year, North and Central and Practice Design and Interiors.
The Dental Awards 2018 is the most respected scheme in the industry, showcasing the best individuals and practices in the UK.
The team at New Road Dental will find out whether they have got first prize at a glittering black tie gala dinner on May 18, held at the NEC Hilton Metropole Hotel in Birmingham, alongside the Dentistry Show.
Dr Ravi Solanki and Dr Priteshi Solanki took over from Dr Matthew Crisp ten years ago and since then have developed the practice and invested in it to make it state-of-the-art.
Ravi said: “As well as treating patients we are also a training practice and have been involved in training newly qualified dentists, dental nurses and helping the staff to develop their skills.
“We have an amazing team who work hard to deliver the highest standards of care, which has been recognised by our patients.
“It’s a great achievement to be recognised at the Dental Awards.”
The staff had spent a lot of time getting to know their patients and improving the premises, which had been appreciated.
“We are all very proud of our whole team and the hard work they all put in to ensure a great experience for our patients.”
New Road Dental also supports the Primrose Hospice, joined the charity at the Bromsgrove Carnival and continues to raise cash for the cause.
