Dentistry Awards a huge success

The 2007 Dentistry Awards proved to be a resounding success as one of the biggest events on the dental calendar lived up to its promise once again.

More than 600 people flocked to the Athena in Leicester for a splendid evening of wining and dining before the ceremony itself, presented by celebrity host Roy Walker.

Many practices up and down the country were on tenderhooks throughout the evening before the winners were revealed from the shortlisted entries.

This was the second Dentistry Awards after their hugely successful launch last year, and the event is fast becoming a firmly established feature in the dental profession.

The Awards, like last year, had a unique format with the UK being divided into nine regions to recognise outstanding young individuals, teams and practices.

There were three awards (Best Young Dentist, Best Team, Best Practice) for each region, as well as an overall UK winner in each category. Nominations for the awards were collated earlier in the year, with a select panel of judges finalising the shortlist and winners ahead of the evening itself.

The organisers would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate those entries who achieved the accolade of being ‘Highly Commended’ (see list below).

Next year’s Dentistry Awards will be launching in April. To pre register for an entry form they can contact Elisa on 01923 851734.
