STAFF at a Bourne End dental practice have an extra reason to show off their smiles after receiving a top class national accolade.

Bourne end Dental has been honoured at an exclusive reception held by the British Dental Association to celebrate a decade of consistently high standards.

The practice on Station Road was recognised alongside all those achieving at least ten years membership of the British Dental Association’s Good Practice Scheme, known as Gold Membership.

Dr Barry McGonigle, President of the British Dental Association said: “A practice’s membership of the BDA’s Good Practice Scheme demonstrates its whole team’s commitment to high standards, delivering high-quality, patient-centred care and the pursuit of excellence.”

The achievement has also been recognised in a celebratory publication which includes profiles of all the top-class practices belonging to the exclusive ‘gold’ club.

Partners Graham Goodall, Stephen Rees and Andrew Chandrapal said: “This award is a credit to our loyal and hard-working team and we are very proud to have been associated with the BDA Good Practice Scheme for so long.”
