Functional dental care forms the foundation for achieving long-lasting, successful results in cosmetic treatments. In this blog, we’ll explore what functional dentistry is, how it differs from cosmetic dentistry and why addressing oral health concerns is essential before you begin cosmetic treatment. 

At mydentist, we’re investing more than £50 million every year in growing our practices, supporting our teams and building state-of-the-art facilities equipped with the latest technology. As part of this commitment, we’re merging and relocating practices to create modern spaces that offer outstanding patient care and an exceptional experience for both patients and our practice teams. Learn more about what sets our newly opened practices apart, meet the team that will be supporting our patients at mydentist Albion House, and find out where you can find updates on our latest practice openings.

At mydentist, career development is at the heart of everything we do. We're proud to offer opportunities and the culture of growth that support team members in reaching their goals. Since starting as a student dental nurse in 2009, Pietro Capitelli, Nurse Recruitment Team Leader, has risen to become a vital part of our nurse recruitment process, earning recognition along the way, including a mydentist Excellence Award.

At mydentist, we believe that giving back to our local communities is as important as providing outstanding dental care in our practices. This year, teams across the UK have gone above and beyond by supporting charities, raising funds and lending their expertise to make a meaningful difference. As we approach the festive season, we’re excited to share some of the incredible initiatives that have brought smiles to so many in 2024.

Charity work is more than an act of kindness for the team at mydentist Formby - it’s part of who they are. Led by Practice Manager Amanda Morris, who has worked within dentistry for over 30 years, the team has long been dedicated to giving back, raising money for causes close to their hearts and, most recently, volunteering with Dentaid to provide care to vulnerable communities. We caught up with Amanda to learn more about what inspires her, and her team, to dedicate their team time to such incredible causes.

In September we caught up with Dr Humnah Javid, a newly qualified associate dentist at mydentist Glossop, who was about to embark on an exciting trip to Uganda alongside Dentaid, a charity that provides essential dental care to communities both here in the UK and overseas. Now that Humnah is home, we visited Glossop for an update on the trip – including some insight into what she learnt during her time abroad and her plans for the future.
