Awards

Award-winning, and now trusted to judge the awards

We have always believed that good dentistry should speak for itself. Over the years it has: the practice has been recognised by the UK's dental awards for patient care, clinical work, aesthetics, restorative dentistry, implantology and practice leadership. Today, our clinicians are invited to judge and mentor the awards they once entered.

Award-winning, and now trusted to judge the awards.

Why you won't see recent awards

Our role has changed. You might notice we are no longer adding new awards to the cabinet. That is because Clear Dentistry is now invited to judge, mentor and guide the very awards we once won. When you help define the standards, you no longer compete for them; you help shape them.

It is a position we hold with pride and responsibility, grounded in the same commitment that earned the awards in the first place. Those below are from our competing days, before we were asked to judge instead.

“Always excellent patient care from Kim and Anna on Reception and Leigh and Hannah in the surgery. (I’m sure all the staff are equally lovely but I haven’t met them all!) Leigh is exceptionally good at explaining dental “stuff” in a way which is tailored to different individual people.”

“I moved from another dental practice that I was with for 5 years on the recommendation of a relative and I’m very glad I did. Equipment is first class, everyone is extremely friendly and professional and make me feel a lot more comfortable than other dental practices I’ve used. They’re also able and willing to answer any and all questions I have and answer honestly instead of just trying to sell! Highly recommend.”

“Truly the best dental practice I’ve been to. The receptionists, nurses and dentists are very professional, friendly and really seem to care. They make you feel very informed about your options and any treatments (if needed). Would highly recommend!”

“As always, my experience with Clear Dentistry today was great. On entering the building I see the reception staff. Three faces were smiling at me and I immediately relaxed. Dealing with Kim at the desk is always a pleasure. After a couple of information checks I went upstairs to see Luke. Luke has looked after me for many years. He is the best dentist I have ever had (and I had a few before I found him). Luke has an ability to put you at ease. He is professional, has a gentle manner and is extremely experienced. You do feel with Luke that it's not about the money, it's the care that's important. Keith Lines”
