Being shortlisted for a prestigious
industry award is a dream come true for
Castle Park Dental Care.
MAKING people smile is at the core
of their company and for the team at
a village dental practice, it seems to
be paying off.
would mean the world for everyone
After being encouraged to enter for an
industry award, Castle Park Dental Care
in Castle Road has been shortlisted in
the North East category for the Best
Practice at this year’s Dentistry
Awards.
For owner Chris Branfield, winning
the award would be a huge recognition
of his and the team’s achievements.
He said: “I’ve put my heart and soul
into this place, I’ve lived and breathed
it.
“I’ve had this vision since leaving
university of what, ultimately, I would
want, but I’ve never had the guts to do it
until recently.
“To win dental practice of the year
involved.”
But Mr Branfield said his plans will
not stop there.
He said: “This is the top dental practice in the country. We’re actually up
there with the big boys.
“There are 39,000 dentists in the UK
and to be up there in the top, you think
‘we’re on it’.
“That’s been my dream. I don’t want to
stop here, I want to be in the top 5 per
cent in the world.
“What fills me with pride is when we
get the feedback and get the patient
testimonials.
“This would really be the icing on the
cake with the cherry on top.”
‘We are really proud of what we do’
OWNER Chris Branfield
said: “When we look back,
we are just really proud of
what we do.
“We are proud of the
ethos and proud of the
feedback we get from
patients. We have invested
really heavily these past
,4,
couple of years in having a
premises that is relaxing.”
Mr Branfield, pictured,
has also starred in a
Sensodyne toothpaste
advert and regularly visits
Morrocco to help treat
children who have no
access to dental care.
I want to be in the top
5 per cent in the world
Chris Branfield
Colleagues say they are always
striving to improve and the focus is not
just on teeth.
Practice manager Gillian Fisher said:
“We’re extremely proud of what we do.
We don’t sit still, we are always looking
and learning.
“On a personal basis, I think over the
past year, since we moved premises, it’s
just been great for the team.
“We’re not just about teeth, we are
about people, the whole package and
changing lives.”
Ms Fisher said the shortlisting shows
how far the company has come since
relocating to the Castle Road premises.
She said: “I’m proud now to be in the
final five. I think it would be such a great
message to the rest of the team that
we’ve achieved what we set out to do,
and look at what we have achieved in the
past year and a half.
“It’s turned itself around from a small
practice that was growing – it is just
immense what we’ve achieved and it’s a
big vote of thanks to them.”
The winner of the North East category
will be in the finalists for the best UK
practice title.
The award ceremony will take place at
Art-deco cinema The Athena in
Leicester on Friday, December 5.
