A dental practice in Droitwich Spa is celebrating 40 years in business.

For four decades, The Roy Morris Dental Excellence practice has provided locally based care and treatment, drawing the loyalty of numerous patients across the country.

Founded in 1983, the practice is home to a 12 strong team, which includes a dental hygienist unit recommended for both registered and non-registered patients.

In addition to offering general dentistry, the team also provides treatment to those suffering from life-altering dental conditions.

Roy Morris, who was one of the first diplomates in implantology from The Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, spearheads the practice.

Mr Morris has 28 years of implantology experience and 18 years of practice using digital implant technology.

He currently serves as the vice regent for England, Scotland, and Wales for the International College of Dentists, where he also holds fellowship status.

Mr Morris said: "I find it almost unbelievable that we have been operating since 1983.

"I’d like to reassure our wonderfully loyal patients that I have no plans to retire and myself and the team will continue to use our skills and passion for dentistry to serve the local community and beyond."

The practice has six surgeries with separate sterilization rooms and offers general, cosmetic and advanced digital dental treatments, including bone and soft tissue grafting for dental implants.

It has a range of technology such as industry-leading digital photography, a laser ITERO scanner, digital x-rays, and Smile Design.

Patient Michaela Savage said: "After being a very nervous patient with bad memories of dental treatment, Roy Morris transformed my life after years of not wanting to smile.

"Roy talked me through every step of my implant journey, his skills are of the highest quality along with his fantastic staff.

"The treatment has literally changed my life in so many ways and I can now enjoy smiling again."

The practice also has a CT scanner, allowing digital planning and placement technology to be used.

This is the most precise and least invasive surgery for patient comfort, and is also more efficient.
