Recognition & Credentials
A factual record of the credentials, accreditations and verified ratings held by Tower Dental Blackpool and our clinicians.
A note on this page
Many UK dental websites publish lists of "awards" that are unverifiable, lapsed, or paid-for industry directory listings. We've taken the opposite approach. This page lists only credentials that:
- Have a public, third-party-verifiable record
- Are current as of May 2026
- Are awarded on merit, not paid-for inclusion
If you can't find a "Best Dentist Award 2024" trophy on this page, that's because we don't have one — and we'd rather tell you so than invent one.

Continuing professional development
UK dentistry requires every clinician to complete a minimum of 100 hours of verifiable CPD over each 5-year revalidation cycle, including specific hours on safeguarding, medical emergencies, infection control, radiation safety, complaints handling, and oral cancer recognition. Each of our clinicians substantially exceeds this minimum, with documented annual courses in their respective areas of clinical interest.
Our commitment
We will only ever publish credentials we can prove. If you ever spot a claim on this page or anywhere on towerdental.uk that you can't independently verify, please tell us — email info@towerdental.uk. Honest credentials, transparently presented, are part of how we earn trust.
"The British Dental Association supports patient-centred care that combines clinical evidence, professional expertise, and informed patient consent for all treatment decisions."
