A BROOKLANDS dental practice is all smiles having officially achieved excellence in all areas of dentistry for more than a decade – one of the first practices in the North West to reach this milestone.

Maple Road Dental Practice is one of only 11 Denplan Excel Practices in the region which has met the exacting standards of dentistry’s quality assurance inspectors.

And the Maple Road team is the first in Trafford to achieve a decade of exceptional standards.

Clinical director, Ian Hunt, explained: “We’re committed to providing our patients with the best dental care and are delighted that our high standards are acknowledged by industry quality inspectors.”

Recognised by the British Dental Health Foundation, the Denplan Excel Programme is a detailed quality assurance scheme, which demands exacting standards in dentistry and inspects practices regularly and rigorously.

Ian added: “The programme ensures we comply with best-practice recommendations and continually exacting standards set by the profession.

"As part of this demonstration of service and care, in the past decade we have successfully waged war on tooth decay in children by establishing a dedicated preventative unit aimed at improving the dental health of children and adults, which won us the NHS Gold Award for Prevention in Practice. Our exceptional standard of care also contributed to us winning the British Dental Association’s UK Practice of the Year Award.

“We’re delighted to be one of the longest-standing accredited practices in the North West and all credit goes to our team. It means we have officially provided a decade continued excellence.”
