🎉 We’re finalists… TWICE! 🎉
We’re absolutely delighted to share that Evolve Dentistry has been named as a finalist in TWO categories at the Private Dentistry Awards 2026:
💚 Team of the year
💚 Practice of the year
And we couldn’t be prouder.
These two categories feel particularly special because they recognise Evolve as a whole – the people, the culture and the care that goes into creating the experience we want every patient to have when they visit us.
We’re incredibly lucky to have such a brilliant team of people who genuinely care about what they do and about each other. And, of course, none of it would mean very much without the wonderful patients who choose and trust us.
We’ll find out the results in November, so for now we’re keeping everything crossed… 🤞🥂
But whatever happens on the night, being recognised amongst some of the very best practices and teams in dentistry is something we’re incredibly proud of.
Go Team Evolve! 💚

If you whiten your teeth, how long will they stay white?
One of the questions we`re often asked about teeth whitening is:
“How long will it last?”
And it`s a good question - because whitening isn`t something that creates one permanent shade for life.
How your teeth look afterwards can be influenced by your diet, habits and simply the passing of time.
Yasmin explains what you can realistically expect after whitening and why everyone`s experience can be slightly different.
If whitening is something you`re considering, we`d always recommend starting with a conversation about your teeth rather than choosing a product based on how white it promises to make them.
113 patients rated us
Reviews are lovely to receive.
But what matters most to us is what sits behind them.
Did someone feel listened to?
Did a nervous patient feel more comfortable than they expected?
Was treatment explained clearly?
Did someone leave feeling properly looked after?
Every piece of feedback helps us understand what we`re getting right - and where we can keep improving.
So to everyone who takes a few minutes to tell us about their experience at Evolve, thank you. 💚
Your toothbrush can`t reach everywhere
You brush twice a day. So why does your dental team keep talking about interdental brushes?
Because even really good toothbrushing has its limits.
There are areas between your teeth that an ordinary toothbrush simply can`t clean effectively.
Yasmin explains why cleaning between your teeth can be such an important part of looking after your teeth and gums - and why those tiny brushes can make a big difference to your daily routine.
Not sure which size to use or whether you`re using yours correctly?
That`s exactly the sort of thing your dental team can help with.
“Do braces hurt?”
It’s probably the question we hear more than any other.
The honest answer?
You may experience some temporary pressure or tenderness as your teeth begin to move, particularly during the first few days.
But most adults tell us the same thing afterwards:
“It was nowhere near as bad as I expected.”
Sometimes, the fear of treatment is much bigger than the treatment itself.
That’s why we’ve written a new article explaining:
✔ What braces actually feel like.
✔ When you’re most likely to notice discomfort.
✔ Simple ways to stay comfortable.
✔ When it’s worth getting in touch with your dentist.
If you’ve been putting off treatment because you’re worried it might hurt, we hope it helps answer some of your questions.

Why is my dentist taking photographs of my teeth?
“Why are you taking photographs of my teeth?”
A perfectly reasonable question.
Dental photographs aren`t just for before-and-afters.
They can help us record what we`re seeing, monitor changes, explain things more clearly and involve you in conversations about your own teeth.
Richard explains why you might see a camera appear during an appointment at Evolve.
Because when we`re talking about your mouth, we think it`s rather useful if you can see what we`re talking about too.
