A dental group which recently raised more than £15,000 for charity has opened a new practice.
Abbey House Dental has opened a new surgery in Rugeley, adding to their existing sites in Stone and Festival Park, in Stoke-on-Trent.
They have taken over the former Avondale House Dental Surgery and invested £300,000 to transform the practice, which they say will ‘soon have state-of-the-art facilities’.
Five new roles have been created with the launch with more recruitment still to come.
A spokesperson for Abbey House Dental said: “We saw a gap in the market for cosmetic and implant dentistry, and a large NHS contract to service patients. It’s also local to our existing practices in Stone and Stoke-on-Trent.
“The practice is undergoing a makeover and will soon have state-of-the-art facilities.”
The group, which was founded by Amit and Mumta Jilka, recently held a charity ball at the bet365 stadium in aid of three charities with a close connection to members of the team.
The funds were split between the British Heart Foundation, in memory of a dental hygienist who died earlier this year following emergency heart surgery, the Pink Ribbon Foundation in support of a dental nurse who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, and Gracie May’s Dream a Little Dream, a charity created by a dental nurse whose four-year-old daughter passed away in February following her cancer diagnosis in July 2024.
The spokesperson added: “We’re beyond grateful to everyone who came along, donated or supported from afar. Their kindness and contribution will make a real difference.
“The night was a powerful reminder of what can happen when people come together for a good cause.”
Amit and Mumta Jilka won the Entrepreneur of the Year award at the Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce awards earlier this year.
