All of us at Honour Health are all smiles after being named the best dental team in the region, in recognition of our outstanding commitment to patient care.

Our Honour Health Group, which has three dental clinics – in Jesmond, Ponteland and Stanley – has won the prestigious title of Best Team: North East at the national Dentistry Awards 2024.

Our Jesmond practice has also won the coveted title of Best Practice: North East.

The Dentistry Awards 2024 celebrates excellence in dental practice, recognising dental professionals for their achievements and advancements. This prestigious event highlights talent, innovation, and dedication in dentistry. Nominees are chosen for their exceptional skills, patient care, and community contributions. The awards not only honour individual and team accomplishments but also inspire continued excellence in oral health care.

For Honour Health’s entries, the team provided examples of clinical excellence, marketing literature, team training and development information, evidence of team leadership and happiness, examples of how they go beyond the regular duty of care, how they connect with the local community, and patient testimonials.

Principal dentist Dr Onkar Dhanoya has been at the helm of the Honour Health Group for 38 years. He opened the first of the three practices in Stanley in 1986, followed by Jesmond in 2001 and Ponteland in 2015.

Dr Dhanoya said: “We are thrilled to have achieved this wonderful recognition at the Dentistry Awards. These accolades reflect what a truly talented, committed group of people we have working at Honour Health, and it is the perfect conclusion to a fantastic year of continued growth and development for our team. It is a great privilege to fly the flag for the North East on the national dental stage.

“We are delighted to have been helping our patients achieve smiles they love for more than three decades now. We have always continually invested in our team, the latest equipment and facilities, and we are looking forward to embarking on exciting plans for 2025 and beyond as the world of digital dentistry continues to evolve.”

We’ve also been shortlisted in the categories of Best Patient Care, Best Practice and Best Team at the Private Dentistry Awards 2024. The winners will be announced at a London ceremony in November. We’re keeping everything crossed!
