We’re incredibly proud to share some exciting news: Dream Smiles Dental has been officially shortlisted for Dental Practice of the Year at the Dental Awards 2025 — one of the most prestigious recognitions in UK dentistry.
This announcement comes just three months after we opened our doors in Bolton. As a result, it feels like a huge milestone for our team and the community we’re proud to serve.
You can view the full shortlist on The Probe’s official website here. You can also learn more about the awards.
Why this means so much
This nomination celebrates more than dentistry. It recognises our passion for people, our commitment to community, and our ambition to raise the bar across every part of patient care.
“We set out to do dentistry differently — building something kind, innovative, and patient-first,” said Dr. Naveed Patel, Founder of Dream Smiles Dental. “To be shortlisted so early in our journey is a real honour, and it reflects the hard work and heart our entire team brings every day.”
A practice with purpose
At Dream Smiles Dental, we’re proud to offer more than appointments. Instead, we’re building a space where:
- Patients are treated with warmth, respect, and care
- Staff are empowered to grow, learn, and lead
- Emergency support is prioritised wherever possible
- Kindness and collaboration guide every decision
We’ve also taken steps to give back. For example, we’ve run food drives, supported local causes, and provided free dental education for children and families. This shortlisting recognises that dentistry can be transformational — not only clinically, but personally and socially too.
What’s next?
As we await the results, we’ll keep doing what we do best: delivering exceptional care, supporting our community, and building a team that thrives together.
We’re honoured to be recognised among the UK’s best dental practices. Thank you to every patient, supporter, and team member who helped us get here.
Thank you for being part of our story. This is just the beginning.
