Ian and Carrie Preston took over Shipston Dental Practice in 1996, introducing robust systems and processes to ensure the highest standard of patient care within a modern, welcoming environment. Over the years, they reinvested many thousands of pounds into developing both the facility and the team.
In 2022, Ian and Carrie proudly passed the practice on to Envisage Dental, ensuring continued investment, innovation, and excellence in patient care for the future.
Our clinicians have an on-going commitment to postgraduate education, leading to post-graduate qualifications and ensuring knowledge and skills are maintained up to date.
As part of our on going commitment to service development and education the practice dentists have undertaken substantial additional postgraduate studies.
