Press, TV & Achievements

A short history of media coverage, magazine features and clinical firsts at Tangmere Dental Care. These are the things people sometimes ask us about - and the reasons we say we've "stayed ahead of the curve" technically over the years.

What We've Been Recognised For

Tangmere has been an independent family-run practice since 1988. Over that time we've invested heavily in clinical technology, often being the first practice in the UK to install or implement specific systems. We've been featured in dental press, mainstream press, and on national television for various aspects of the work.
Below is a chronological list of the main achievements. Most are clinical-technology firsts that we're proud of as a small practice.

A Chronological Record

First CQC inspection – excellent report

First UK practice with Melatrace

We became the first UK practice to install Melatrace hardware and software.

This system allows instrument trays that have completed a validated decontamination and sterilisation procedure to be logged and then recorded onto each patient’s record as it is used. This ensures best practice cleanliness for each and every patient. We are concerned with preventing disease, not spreading it!

National TV Appearance

Why We Mention All This

The fact that we've been first in the UK to install several pieces of clinical technology isn't a marketing line. It's reflected in our facilities, our decontamination procedures, our equipment and our day-to-day practice. We've stayed ahead of the curve because we think it makes the work better for patients.
Trust signals matter when you're choosing a dentist. Independent recognition - press features, regulatory inspections, industry accreditations - is one of the few ways patients can check that the standards a practice claims are real.
