Appletree Success

Staff at Appletree Dental Care, Newry are all smiles this week as they enjoy a double whammy by scooping a Supervalu ‘Best Kept’ award as they prepare to open a new extension to the Kilmorey Street premises.

This year’s Supervalu ‘Best Kept Awards 2010’ were hosted on Tuesday night in Belfast and Appletree Dental Care collected the award for best Health care facility in the Southern region for the second time since the business opened just four years ago.

Practice owners Conor McEnhill and Katrina McKevitt were thrilled at the achievement, particularly as the timescale for the judge’s visit fell just days after the workmen left the site.

Katrina says: “We’d like to say a special thanks to Clanrye Abbey Development and our building contractor Thomas Murphy who managed to complete the new wing extension with little disruption to the practice and finish just a few days before the judges arrived. Our staff were fantastic in adding the finishing touches for the visit. The award is a credit to our staff as they always take real pride in caring for the working environment of the practice which is part of the reason that we’ve won this award twice.”

Appletree is a contemporary dental practice which strives to provide the best possible experience for its patients. “The new extension is part of this philosophy and our new treatment areas provide modern dental treatments and specialist implant and cosmetic services. We design the environment to feel welcoming from first impressions with exterior landscaping and flower boxes, to interior finishes such as fixing plasma screens in treatment areas among other features. We have a new dedicated central sterilisation area to ensure that our cross infection measures are to the highest industry standards,” Katrina adds.

Appletree will officially open the new extension later this month with the addition of another full time dentist and dental hygienist which will take the total number of employees at the practice to 10.
