The Dental Awards exclusively aims to recognise the outstanding individuals and teams whose commitment to patient care and professional development are raising standards throughout the profession.

Su Freear – 2020 Dental Receptionist of the Year
But don’t just take our word for it. Here is what some of the 2020 winners had to say:
“I was delighted to have been nominated for the award and over the moon to have won,” said Su Freear, winner of the award for Dental Receptionist of the Year. “It is a little bit surreal as I don’t work to receive accolades, but to be recognised for the job I love is really special. It is certainly a stand-out moment of my career.”
Maiara Ban won the award for Practice Manager of the Year in 2020, while her practice, ODL City Dental Clinic, London, was also a winner in the category of Dental Team of the Year – South, and named the National Winner, in addition to picking up the prize for Website & Digital Campaign of the Year. “Our team is so proud to have been recognised for our relentless hard work to ensure our patients have the best experience and receive the best care from our practice,” said Maiara. “I am extremely flattered to have been named Practice Manager of Year. I am so thankful to god for this great honour and I am so grateful to my principal, Alex Seijas, and to my whole team for their constant support. This award will further motivate me to work hard for my colleagues, our practice and our patients.”
David Bretton was named Young Dentist of the Year – North, and also took the National honour. He said: “What an honour to win these awards! It has been a very unusual year and a challenging few months for all of us in the dental world. This recognition came at a time for me when a little positivity was needed and although I couldn’t celebrate it with my friends and colleagues, I dedicate it to all the profession, who I feel have come together so well in these hard times. Winning these awards shows what is possible with goal setting, hard work and focus.”
Kayley McCauley celebrating her Dental Hygienist of the Year win
Although the 2020 Awards Ceremony was unable to take place due to the Covid-19 pandemic, that certainly didn’t stop Kayley McCauley, who won the award for Dental Hygienist of the Year, from celebrating in style! “I was absolutely delighted to win Dental Hygienist of the Year, as after 10 years in practice in a variety of hospital and general settings the last 3 years of my professional life have been dominated by setting up our Implant practice Dorset Dental Clinic as a squat practice,” she explained. “Taking it from a run down office space and converting the gorgeous Grade II listed building into what it is today, a 3 surgery practice with laboratory and the team has grown from 5 to 12. Managing to juggle this and working as a DHDT alongside having 2 babies and moving house 3 times, and keeping my sanity is my own personal triumph! Promoting the scope of the DHDT will continue to be my passion and connecting with the dental community near and far is truly inspiring.
“To celebrate we threw our own Dorset Dental Awards ceremony as our team and our receptionist were highly commended for awards, so it was an all out black tie event and a light hearted fun way to celebrate everything we have achieved as a team this year.”
