A HALE dentist has scooped two top national awards.

Dr Maria McNally has followed up on her success last year by again being honoured at the national Aesthetic Dentistry awards.

She bagged a prize for clinical excellence and also a patient choice award. The patient gave a testimonial explaining how she had benefited from her treatment.

Dr McNally, who also won an award at last year’s ceremony, said, “It is an honour to receive such prestigious awards two years running.

"Knowing that we are helping our patients to smile and function again means so much to me, and it’s a marvellous tribute to the work of both me and my colleagues.”

The Aesthetic Dentistry Awards rewards aesthetic, orthodontic and restorative excellence across the country.

Dr. McNally works at Crescent Dental Care in Hale and Stepping Hill Hospital.
