STAFF at a private dentistry practice in York have built on award success achieved last year after progressing from being named Team of the North to National Team of the Year for 2016.

The team at Andrea Ubhi Dentistry, in Goodramgate, took the title at the "The Dental Awards 2016" where they have now enjoyed award success for the last two years.

The award win comes following a significant period of growth for Andrea Ubhi Dentistry, which has doubled in size over the past year, resulting in a move from Stonegate to a newly renovated practice in Goodramgate.

Following a £600,000 investment the new practice houses four surgeries, two waiting rooms, disabled access and the latest technology including digital CT Scanning equipment. The move also created seven new jobs to create a 20-strong team to meet increased demand.

Andrea Ubhi Dentistry was the chosen winner of ‘Team of the Year’ from a shortlist of other finalists based throughout the UK. Finalists were judged on criteria such as reputation, core values, team ethos, leadership and how the practice is managed.

Andrea Ubhi, owner of Andrea Ubhi Dentistry who won Dentist of the Year North in 2013, said: "I have an amazing team and it is fantastic that they have been given the recognition that they deserve on such a prestigious national stage.

"The past year has been a hugely demanding time for them with the change in premises and growth of the business and they have all put in so much effort. I’m looking forward to continuing to grow the business with such a great team around me."
