Care Dental, with practices in Aberfeldy and Crieff, has received the top award in the country at a recent ceremony in London for the 'most improved practice'. The UK-wide dental awards were held at the Café Royal hotel in Piccadilly on the 26 November. The organisers, Private Dentistry magazine, heralded the multi practice business as having achieved excellence in improving its standard of facilities and patient care.

Dr Bruce Strickland said: "I was delighted for the practices to be compared with other practices throughout the UK and to be singled out as the most 'progressive and innovative'. He believed that Care Dental has reached these standards by focusing on "doing best what matters most to our customers." The reward, he remarked, was received with the added pride of providing this standard of dentistry to the people of Highland Perthshire above any top London practice".
