Our practice has been recognised with two awards:

Most Trusted Dental Practice 2026 – Derbyshire
Excellence Award in Family-Friendly Dental Care 2026 – Derbyshire

This is a proud moment for the whole team and a lovely recognition of the care, professionalism and commitment we aim to provide to our patients every day.

A trusted dental practice for families in Alfreton, Swanwick and Derbyshire

At Amber Valley Dental Practice, our focus has always been simple: to provide high-quality dental care in a friendly, welcoming and professional environment.

We know that visiting the dentist can feel daunting for some patients, which is why we work hard to create a calm and supportive experience from the moment you contact us. Whether you are visiting for a routine check-up, hygiene appointment, Invisalign consultation, teeth whitening, dental implants or general dental treatment, our team is here to help you feel informed, comfortable and cared for.

Being recognised as Most Trusted Dental Practice 2026 – Derbyshire is especially meaningful to us because trust is at the heart of good dentistry. We want every patient to feel listened to, respected and confident in the care they receive.

Family-friendly dental care

We are also proud to have received the Excellence Award in Family-Friendly Dental Care 2026 – Derbyshire.

As a family-focused dental practice, we care for patients of all ages, from children attending their early dental visits through to adults and older patients needing ongoing support with their oral health.

Our aim is to make dental care feel approachable and positive, particularly for younger patients and those who may feel nervous. Preventative care, clear advice and long-term relationships with our patients are central to the way we work.

A team achievement

These awards belong to the whole Amber Valley Dental Practice team.

From our dentists and nurses to our reception and support team, everyone plays an important role in creating the patient experience we are proud of. The recognition reflects the dedication, kindness and professionalism shown by the team every day.

We are also extremely grateful to our patients. Your continued support, recommendations and kind reviews mean a great deal to us. Many of our patients have been with the practice for years, and we never take that trust for granted.

Continuing to improve our dental practice

Over recent years, Amber Valley Dental Practice has continued to invest in the practice, our facilities and the services we offer. Our goal is to keep improving while maintaining the personal, friendly approach our patients value.

We remain committed to supporting the oral health of our local community in Swanwick, Alfreton and the surrounding Derbyshire area, offering both NHS and private dental care where available.

Winning these awards is a wonderful milestone, but our focus remains the same: providing reliable, caring and high-quality dentistry for our patients.
