Nadia Duarte, the clinic’s Principal Dentist, tells us more about the practice and its core values. “From the day we opened our doors, our core values have centred around patient-first care, clinical excellence, and community engagement,” she begins. “These values have remained steadfast but evolved to reflect advancements in dentistry and the needs of our growing patient base. Today, we also place significant emphasis on sustainability and innovation, ensuring our practice grows responsibly while offering cutting-edge solutions.” At Amber Valley Dental, the mission is to transform lives by delivering exceptional dental care in a compassionate, welcoming environment. The practice aims to empower patients with healthy, confident smiles while fostering long-term relationships built on trust and quality care. “At Amber Valley Dental Practice, we’re not just about dentistry,” Nadia continues. “We’re about creating brighter futures, one smile at a time.” Focusing on providing the same level of attention and excellence to both NHS and private patients, ensuring access to essential preventive and restorative treatments while also offering advanced options like Invisalign, teeth whitening, and restorative solutions to help everyone achieve healthier, more confident smiles. It also champions patient education, helping individuals make informed choices about their dental health, and aims to provide a seamless experience by blending traditional care values with modern technology, such as digital smile simulations using the iTero scanner. “Our focus has been shaped by years of understanding our community’s needs,” elaborates Nadia. “Early on, we recognised Best Dental Practice in Derbyshire & GHP Patient Care that long-term NHS patients valued continuity and trusted care, while newer patients were increasingly looking for aesthetic and transformative options. This insight allowed us to balance our offerings and invest in tools and training that support this dual focus.” The dental sector in the UK is currently navigating a period of significant change and challenge. While advances in technology and a growing awareness of oral health have driven demand for modern cosmetic treatments like Invisalign, teeth whitening, and dental implants; systemic challenges - particularly in NHS dentistry - have created an uneven landscape for both practitioners and patients. There’s been a notable increase in demand for cosmetic and aesthetic treatments as patients prioritise the appearance of their smiles. In such a competitive industry, it is imperative that the practice differentiates itself and stands out from the crowd. Amber Valley Dental Practice achieves this through exceptional patient experiences, utilising cutting edge technology, providing community-centred care, and having a holistic approach. Continuous professional development is a key focus area for the practice and the team regularly undergoes training to stay ahead of the latest techniques and technologies in dentistry, from advanced smile simulations to restorative innovations. Further investments in modern tools, such as an intra-oral scanner, ensure precision and efficiency while enhancing the patient experience. Feedback and communication from the client is also essential in order for the practice and are integral to its ongoing improvement strategy, as is community engagement, which enables the clinic to connect with patients beyond the dental chair, fostering a sense of partnership in their oral health journey. “Patient expectations have shifted significantly in recent years.” Nadia explains, telling us more about emerging trends within the industry. “Today’s patients are more informed and expect a blend of high-quality care, convenience, and transparency.” “By combining innovation, compassion, and a dedication to listening to our patients, we’ve evolved to not just meet but exceed these expectations,” she enthuses. “It’s this commitment that has positioned Amber Valley Dental Practice as a leader in oral health and dentistry in Derbyshire.” For its diligence and commitment to patient care, Amber Valley Dental Practice recently gained recognition in the Oral Health and Dentistry Awards 2024, being bestowed with the prestigious accolade of Best Dental Practice – Derbyshire, as well as receiving the much-coveted GHP Patient Care & Satisfaction Excellence Award.
