MODEL and former Miss England, Georgia Horsley, was the guest of honour at the opening of the new premises of a cosmetic dentists in York.

Andrea Ubhi Cosmetic Dentistry has moved from its Stonegate premises to a specially-fitted £600,000 building in Goodramgate, which was formerly home to Twenty Two Interiors shop.

The building has undergone a complete refit and now has four state-of-the-art surgeries, two waiting rooms, disabled access and technology, including CT Scanning equipment.

The move means that the practice has more than doubled in size, adding seven new jobs to create a 20-strong team and meet increased demand.

Andrea Ubhi, owner of Andrea Ubhi Cosmetic Dentistry, said: "Building and fitting out the new premises has been a long journey and I would like to thank everyone who helped make it possible. It is a really exciting step forward for Andrea Ubhi Cosmetic Dentistry and reflects the increased demand for a practice dedicated to cosmetic dentistry. The new practice is much more visible to passers-by and so we are already getting people dropping in and asking about treatments. We look forward to welcoming our existing customers and new ones too."

The practice was started by Andrea in 2002 in response to a growing demand for private, cosmetic focused dentistry which Andrea recognised while practising as a general dentist.

Since then the practice has won numerous awards including Team of the Year North 2015 and Andrea was Dentist of the Year North in 2013.

Treatments at Andrea Ubhi Cosmetic Dentistry include smile makeovers, dental implants, porcelain veneers, teeth straightening using a variety of different types of braces to suit the needs of patients, as well as facial aesthetics including wrinkle reduction and chemical peels.

Andrea Ubhi Cosmetic Dentistry was QuickStraightTeeth’s Leading Provider in the UK 2014.

Georgia said: “I have been a patient at Andrea Ubhi Cosmetic Dentistry for a number of years now, having had Invisalign braces fitted which did a wonderful job of straightening my teeth before my wedding. I was delighted when Andrea asked me to open the new practice for her. The new building looks amazing, I am sure her customers will love it and I wish her and the team all the best.”
