New Road Dental Practice celebrates multiple award wins

As dentists across the country begin to welcome patients back for appointments under the new government guidelines, New Road Dental Practice in Bromsgrove has plenty to smile about as it’s also celebrating two prestigious award wins. The family-run dental practice has filled its place on the map as one of the top dentists in the Midlands, just in time for doors to reopen.

With a sparkling record of awards, Bromsgrove-based dental practice New Road Dental is celebrating the latest additions to its trophy cabinet, which includes Team of the Year – Central at The Dental Awards, as revealed by The Probe last month as well as the Special Recognition Award in Prevention, in the Global 100 – 2020 edition.

These latest wins celebrate the hard-work, passion, and professionalism that the practice has been putting in, since it first opened its doors in 2008. Now bracing itself for the ‘new normal’, it is these award-winning qualities that the team hopes will see the New Road Dental Practice succeed.

“At the New Road Dental Practice, we pride ourselves in delivering the very best service to our patients and their safety, along with our colleagues, is paramount during these unprecedented times,” commented Dr Ravi Solanki. “Picking up Team of the Year at The Dental Awards, alongside our award for Special Recognition Award in Prevention has provided a much-needed boost for us. Every member of the New Road Dental Practice family has been fantastic during these challenging times, and I cannot thank them enough for their continued hard-work.”

Dental Practice of the Year South was awarded to The Implant Centre, while for Central, Imogen Dental took the award. Overall, National Dental Practice of the Year went to The Implant Centre.

A short interval took place halfway through the awards ceremony, whereupon wine and a lavish three-course meal was served to attendees.

With the ceremony back in full swing, Young Dentist of the Year for North & Central was awarded to Domingos Mamede, while Kreena Patel took the award for the South, then going onto win the overall category of National Young Dentist of the Year.

The Outstanding Achievement Award marked the final category in the award ceremony and was awarded to Janine Brooks MBE.

Janine was presented with her award by Catherine Rutland, Head of Professional Support Services, who delivered a speech that captured the impact of Janine’s work in the profession based on her own experience of working alongside Janine. Catherine emphasised Janine’s passion for dentistry and commitment to mentoring.

Handing out the awards on the night were delegates from those sponsoring the awards, which included BA International, Carestream Dental, Colgate, Coltene, Dental Elite, Geistlich, Simplyhealth Professionals, Sparkle and Waterpik.
