The shortlist for the inaugural Dentistry DSO Awards has been announced – congratulations to the dental groups recognised this year!

New for 2026, the awards celebrate the achievements of dental groups and dental service organisations, highlighting the people and approaches behind excellence across multiple practices.

Organised by FMC, the programme recognises success across 10 categories, spanning clinical care, patient experience, innovation, business performance and team culture. Emerging DSO and DSO of the Year will also recognise organisations making their mark on the profession.

The judging panel is chaired by Ben Atkins, trustee of the Oral Health Foundation and former owner of Revive Dental Care, who brings extensive experience in patient care, dental leadership and business growth.

Reaching the shortlist is an achievement to celebrate, recognising the commitment involved in building successful dental groups and supporting the teams delivering care every day.
