The first half of the year was spent running DRMR clinic from our rental property while building my super clinic at the same time. It was an intense time as I was building a dream. It had taken me 20 years as a dentist to finally build my own branded clinic, and I wanted every centimetre to be perfect.

July was a big month for me and DRMR as I won Dentist of the Year 2022 and our Super Clinic was finally ready to open.

The Dentist of the Year award is probably the highest accolade you can receive in my profession. I’ve spent my career seeing other deserving dentists receive the award, and now, after 20 years as a dentist, it was my turn. It was a great honour and made me feel truly proud of my accomplishments. I’ve invested immense effort into my career throughout. It felt wonderful for that to be acknowledged and rewarded. I’m also potentially the only female to have ever won Dentist of the Year in the UK. The awarding bodies said they didn’t know of any others, which was surprising but makes me glad to be part of the change I wish to see.

I wanted my super clinic to be the most beautiful clinic you had ever seen, but also to boast the strongest team and the latest technology.

Since opening, I have invested heavily in cutting-edge technology to ensure we deliver world-class techniques.

We have a scanner so we don’t need to take conventional impressions as much as before. We can scan your mouth and email the details to our laboratories.

We have a powerful laser which can replace a drill in removing decay, streamline the gum lift procedure, and allow us to remove veneers with just a few taps of the laser.

We have AI technology to read our X-rays so we don’t miss anything.

We have an ultrasound-driven non-surgical facelift machine and a face-stimulating facial that I imported from Italy because it was so exceptional.

Also within the team, there is now not only me but also a hygienist, implantologist, orthodontist, facial aesthetician, dietitian, DNA testing specialist, and body coach. A team of experts of whom I’m immensely proud, and I’m delighted to offer their services to you from DRMR, allowing you to be your best self.

All in all, I’m grateful for every one of you. I hope we were able to provide the 5-star service we aim to deliver. I hope to see every one of you in 2023.
