Dr Ken Harris, who runs the business in Wylam Wharf, was also a winner on the night, taking the honours in the restorative single arch category.

“It’s a huge honour to have been recognised for the work we do at Riveredge, especially in the face of such strong competition from across the rest of the country,” said Dr Harris.

“Our entry was very much a team effort and it’s a fantastic acknowledgement for everyone about the standard of cosmetic dentistry that we offer.

The titles are the latest in a long line of tributes for the practice, which has annually scooped a number of major awards for its work.
