A YORK-based dental surgeon at cosmetic dentistry practice Andrea Ubhi has won a national industry award.

Dr Adam Glassford was selected from a shortlist of finalists from across the UK to win the Patient Choice Restorative Case Award at the 2015 Aesthetic Dentistry Awards.

The award was judged according to the views of patients who provided a testimonial, with judges praising Mr Glassford's case study as being meticulously planned, with the treatment carried out to an "exceptionally high standard".

Mr Glassford qualified in 1996 from Leeds University with a BChD and amongst numerous postgraduate courses completed a Diploma in Implant Dentistry (advanced certificate) with the Royal College of Surgeons, London.

His case study said: "I was referred to Dr Glassford from my general dental practice in Harrogate to discuss cosmetic treatment.

"He kept the explanation of treatment very clear which made me feel at ease.

"This experience was definitely life changing as I had always been very self-conscious of my smile and now I couldn’t be happier."

Andrea Ubhi, owner of Andrea Ubhi Cosmetic Dentistry who won Dentist of the Year North in 2013 said: "We are thrilled for Adam and for the practice.

"Adam has been with us since 2012 and has an exceptional track record. Many other dentists in the region refer their advanced cases on to him and this is just recognition of the exceptional level of clinical excellence he provides."
