An Ilkley dental practice is celebrating after being named a finalist in two categories at the Private Dentistry Awards 2026.
Regent Dental, on Regent Road, has been shortlisted for New Practice of the Year and Treatment of Nervous Patients.
The nominations come during the practice’s first full year of operation, after it opened at the beginning of 2025 in the premises formerly occupied by Regent Orthodontics.
The practice has continued to build on the reputation established by Mr Damian Petrucci, following his retirement at the end of 2024.
The Treatment of Nervous Patients nomination recognises Regent Dental’s focus on creating a calm and reassuring environment for people who may feel anxious about visiting the dentist.
The team says it aims to ensure patients feel listened to, understood and supported throughout their treatment.
The practice said:
“These nominations mean so much to the team because they represent exactly what Regent Dental set out to create — a practice that delivers exceptional dentistry while making people feel genuinely comfortable, understood and cared for.”
The winners will be announced at the Private Dentistry Awards ceremony at Grosvenor House in London on 20th November 2026.
Regent Dental also offers a free dental check-up to patients who sign up for one of its dental plans.
More information about Regent Dental and its services is available through the practice website.
