An orthodontist from West Yorkshire has been crowned Aesthetic Dentist of the Year at the dental profession’s most exclusive awards ceremony – the 2014 Aesthetic Dentistry Awards.
Megan Hatfield (pictured), the principal of Wetherby Orthodontics, took the overall title at the prestigious ceremony last week (21 March) after securing a hat-trick of other awards.
The evening ceremony took place at the Landmark Hotel in London and brought together elite restorative and cosmetic dentists from all over the UK.
As well as recognising the superb quality of the clinical work being carried out by UK dentists and technicians, the awards recognised one individual’s overarching contribution to the profession overall.
Chris Orr, the chairman of the awards’ esteemed judging panel was honoured with an Outstanding Contribution to Aesthetic Dentistry Award, recognising the role he has played in educating hundreds of UK clinicians and driving restorative dentistry forwards.
The May issue of Aesthetic Dentistry Today will feature all the reaction to and coverage of an unforgettable celebration of aesthetic dentistry.
