THE Smile Spa in Stockton is celebrating after adding another two awards to the 16 accolades it has won since opening in 2006.

The Yarm Road-based dental practice, which offers private and cosmetic dentistry, recently won the best patient care North category in The Private Dentistry Awards and most outstanding team member East in the Dentistry Awards for practice manager Lynn Nichols, who was also highly commended for best team member in The Private Dentistry Awards.

The practice offers aesthetic dentistry, dental implants and major restorative work. It also provides facial aesthetic treatments, including wrinkle relaxing injections and dermal fillers.

The practice uses innovative anxiety treatments to ensure the patient’s visit is as stress-free as possible, including the person's favourite music, a snuggle blanket, aromatherapy oils and NuCalm, a new technique designed to quickly and relax patients without using medication.

Dr Susan Andrews, owner of The Smile Spa, said: "We are extremely proud of the extensive list of awards that The Smile Spa has won since opening in 2006 – it’s approximately two awards a year, which is fantastic."
