Award-winning dental service
WARRNAMBOOL Dental has been recognised at a national level, taking home three major awards from the 2025 Australian Dental Industry Awards.
The thriving local business was named winner of Regional Practice of the Year, Charity/Community Practice of the Year and Team of the Year, positioning the clinic as one of the country’s leading regional practices.
The clinic was also named as a finalist in nine categories overall.
Principal dentist Dr Nishant Hurria said the achievement reflects years of investment in clinical standards, patient experience and team culture.
“These awards recognise the dedication of our entire team,” Dr Hurria said.
“Every person here contributes to creating a practice that is compassionate, innovative and genuinely committed to improving oral health in our region.”
The awards, judged by industry leaders and national dental bodies, highlight excellence in patient care, leadership, community engagement and operational quality.
Warrnambool Dental’s performance placed it among the most decorated practices in the country for 2025.
Dr Hurria said the recognition was particularly meaningful for a regional clinic.
“We’re proud to represent Warrnambool on a national stage,” he said.
“It shows that regional practices can lead the way in delivering world-class dentistry and meaningful patient outcomes.”
Warrnambool Dental is also proud of its state-of-the-art facilities and advanced services such as sleep dentistry – ensuring locals don’t need to travel further afield for complex treatment.
The locally-owned practice is also well known for its free dental treatment days.
While the next date is yet to be confirmed, it is believed this may be held during the Easter break.
