At Inspired Dental Care, we are still buzzing with excitement after an unforgettable evening at the Private Dentistry Awards 2025– a night that celebrated excellence, innovation, and the very best in UK dentistry. We are incredibly proud to announce that not only did we walk away with two major accolades, but both awards reflect the heart, dedication, and passion that our team brings to every patient, every day.
This year, we were honoured to receive:
These awards represent more than trophies they symbolise the remarkable journey our practice has been on and the people who make Inspired Dental Care what it is.
Shauna Church: A Grateful Moment at the Private Dentistry Awards
“I feel incredibly grateful to have received Highly Commended Receptionist of the Year at the Private Dentistry Awards 2025. To be recognised again was a complete surprise, and I’m truly thankful for the support, encouragement, and kindness I’ve received from everyone at Inspired Dental Care since joining in 2023.
Over the past two years, I’ve had the opportunity to grow into new roles and take on responsibilities that I’m really proud of but none of it would have been possible without the guidance of our amazing team. Every day, I’m surrounded by people who inspire me, support me, and make coming to work something I genuinely enjoy.
When I saw the results announced on social media, it was a moment I’ll never forget, not because of the award itself, but because it reminded me how lucky I am to be part of such a passionate and dedicated practice. I’m so thankful to my colleagues, our patients, and everyone who has supported me and helped me grow both personally and professionally. Thank you all for your ongoing support, it means more than you know.” 💛
The Big One: Team of the Year
The second win of the night was the one that left us speechless, emotional, and bursting with pride: Inspired Dental Care was crowned Team of the Year.
This award is the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and a shared vision to deliver exceptional dentistry while creating a workplace where every team member is valued, supported, and empowered.
Our Team of the Year submission highlighted exactly what makes Inspired Dental Care unique and we’re delighted to share the spirit of that submission here.
What Makes Inspired Dental Care a Winning Team
A Practice Rooted in Excellence, Innovation, and Community
Located in the heart of Exeter City Centre, our practice is more than a dental clinic- it’s a dynamic hub of multidisciplinary expertise, cutting-edge technology, and community engagement. We take pride in being part of Exeter’s Business Improvement District (BID), collaborating with local organisations and contributing to the city’s growth.
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the dental chair. We continuously invest in the latest advancements, ensuring our patients receive the highest standard of modern, effective treatment.
Above and Beyond Patient Care
One of the strongest features of our team is our dedication to patient-centred care. We believe that an informed patient is an empowered patient and we take time to ensure each individual understands their diagnosis, treatment options, and long-term oral health plan.
From using clinical imagery and visual aids to offering anxiety-management solutions, sedation options, and personalised follow-ups, our team consistently goes beyond the expected. Every patient is valued, respected, and supported from the moment they walk through the door.
Leadership That Inspires Growth
A winning team needs strong leadership, and Inspired Dental Care thrives because of clear communication, shared goals, and a culture built on transparency and support.
We ensure every member of our team, front of house, clinical and management, has opportunities for personal and professional development. Through continuous training, strategic planning, and an open-door policy, we’ve built an environment where innovation is encouraged, achievements are celebrated, and every voice matters.
Training, Development, and Team Empowerment
Ongoing education is at the heart of Inspired Dental Care’s success. Our team regularly participates in in-house training sessions, annual development days, and specialised courses to stay at the forefront of dentistry.
From radiography training days to decontamination workshops and clinical skill refreshers, we constantly evolve to provide the highest level of care. New team members undergo a structured onboarding process that integrates them seamlessly into our culture and values.
Patient Testimonials That Speak Volumes
The strongest measure of success is patient feedback, and we are incredibly proud of the heartfelt testimonials we receive. Many patients describe feeling safe, valued, and supported in our care. Others call their treatment life-changing, praising both our clinicians and reception team for making every visit a positive experience.
These reviews reflect exactly why we do what we do, and they played a significant role in our Team of the Year submission.
A Night to Remember, A Future to Look Forward To
The Private Dentistry Awards 2025 was a celebration of the very best in our profession, but for us, it was also a reminder of how far we have come and how much more we aspire to achieve.
Winning Team of the Year and celebrating Shauna’s incredible second Highly Commended title reinforces what we already knew:
We are beyond proud of every single member of our team, and we couldn’t be more excited for what the future holds. Here’s to another year of growth, innovation, and exceptional care.
From all of us at Inspired Dental Care- thank you for supporting our journey.
