AN Exmouth dental practice is celebrating the recognition of its high standards.

The Bicton Place Dental Surgery, in Bicton Place, has achieved accreditation allowing the practice to join the Denplan Excel Accreditation Programme.

Partner and dentist Dr David Ward said the programme helped dentists to develop better relationships with their patients through good communication, and by improving people's experience of going to the dentist.

He said: "We are delighted to have been awarded this accreditation. It has involved a lot of hard work for the whole team ensuring that we satisfy the most rigorous standards and provide true quality care for our patients, many of whom have been with us for years."

Earlier this year the practice also achieved the British Dental Association's Good Practice Scheme Award.
