Dental group gets recognition from British Dental Association - twice over

A North East Dental group has received a double recognition from the British Dental Association (BDA) Good Practice Scheme.

Osborne Dental Group’s Jesmond branch is the only practice in the Gosforth and Jesmond area to be recognised as committed to good practice and Stanley Dental is the only dental surgery in Stanley to also receive the recognition for its high standards.

The Good Practice Scheme proves to patients that a practice is committed to working to standards set by the profession’s national association. It is an innovation devised by the BDA so that dentists and nurses can ensure they are providing the best care available and patients will know exactly what service to expect from their dentists.

Anne Bender, head of the BDA Good Practice Scheme said: “We are delighted to confirm that the dental teams at Osborne Dental and Stanley Dental have achieved recognition on the Good Practice Scheme.

“This is a double success and is an opportunity for the dental teams to really celebrate their commitment to high standards in patient care.”

Principal dentist at Osborne Dental, Onkar Dhanoya said:  “I am pleased that both practices have been recognised by the scheme for our hard work and commitment to caring for the dental well-being of our patients.

“As part of the BDA’s Good Practice scheme each member of the team has signed up to a ten point commitment which is displayed in the practice.”

Osborne Dental is currently expanding and will launch three new purpose built surgeries, including a dedicated implant suite at its Jesmond site in September.

Onkar Dhanoya has also recently been appointed Dental Implant Tutor by Astra Tech Dental, training colleagues in Dental Implantology.

What Osborne Dental's membership of the Good Practice Scheme means for our patients.
