With not long left to enter the Dentistry Awards, here’s everything you need to know about dentistry’s biggest party.
The Dentistry Awards is set to return to Leicester’s Athena this summer to celebrate another year of outstanding dentistry. The ceremony on 6 June 2025 is the highlight of the dental calendar and an event you won’t want
to miss!
But the entry deadline is fast approaching – all submissions must be received by Wednesday 19 March to be in with a chance of winning.
Let’s take a look at why you should enter, the categories available and how to submit
your entry.
Why enter?
The Dentistry Awards is the biggest dental awards ceremony in the UK. Over the years it has become extremely well-respected within the profession, representing the highest standards the UK dental sector has to offer. Winning an award can have huge benefits for you and your dental business.
1. Attracting patients
Patients are more likely to choose a practice that has been publicly recognised for excellent care. Even being nominated for an award provides vital exposure, cementing your reputation as a first-class practice among patients and the profession alike.
2. Recruitment
When deciding where to work, dental professionals are much more likely to apply for positions at award-winning practices. Dental recruitment has become a huge challenge in recent years – it pays to stand out as
an employer.
3. Team morale
We all know that dentistry can be underappreciated, but recognising your team’s hard work is essential for morale. Attending the Dentistry Awards together is a fantastic team building opportunity. If you go on to win an award, employees will want to stay at a high-quality practice that recognises their efforts.
The categories
