The family-run practice, based in Ryde and led by Ed and Holly Day, was named ‘Team of the Year – South East’, beating more than 50 other practices across the region. Their exceptional achievements didn’t stop there, they went on to win the ‘Overall Team of the Year’ for the entire UK, marking a monumental milestone for Island dentistry.
Adding to the celebration, Ed Day was awarded ‘Highly Commended’ in the Dental Technician of the Year category, recognising his skill and dedication within the profession.
The judges were impressed by Denbigh House’s exemplary work in both clinical care and community outreach, citing the team’s:
