Community

At Boroughbridge Dental Centre, we believe dentistry is about more than just caring for smiles. It’s about caring for people. As a proud part of the Boroughbridge community, we are committed to supporting local families, organisations, and initiatives that help our town thrive.

From promoting oral health education to getting involved in community events and charities, we’re passionate about making a positive difference both inside and outside the practice. This page celebrates the partnerships, projects, and people that make our community so special.

Why Community Matters to Us

At Boroughbridge Dental Centre, our approach to community involvement is rooted in the belief that local support and collaboration make a real difference. Just as we focus on preventative care and long-term dental health for our patients, we want to help build a healthier, happier, and more connected community for everyone.

We’ll continue to share updates on our local engagement and if you know of community initiatives you think we should be involved with, we’d love to hear from you.

Making a Difference in Boroughbridge

As active members of the Boroughbridge Chambers Committee, we work closely with local businesses and professionals to promote economic growth, collaboration, and networking across the town. Being part of this group helps us stay connected to other organisations that are making a positive impact locally, and supports a thriving environment for both residents and businesses alike.

We are proud sponsors of the Boroughbridge AFC Women’s Football Team, helping support grassroots sport and encouraging community participation in healthy, team-based activities. Seeing local talent grow and succeed both on and off the pitch is something we’re truly passionate about and we’re delighted to play our part in providing support where we can.

We’re pleased to highlight the Boroughbridge Community Charity, which provides essential transport services for local residents. This service is especially valuable for older people who do not drive or have limited access to public transport, helping them attend medical appointments  including visits to Boroughbridge Dental Centre. You can find full details of their services on their website.

Dr Kate, our Foundation Dentist, and Jess, our Foundation Hygienist-Therapist, recently visited Kirby Hill Church of England Primary School to deliver an engaging oral health talk for the children. During their visit, they shared practical advice on brushing techniques, healthy food choices, and the importance of looking after young smiles from an early age. The session was designed to be fun, interactive, and easy for children to understand, helping to build positive dental habits that can last a lifetime.

We regularly visit schools in Boroughbridge, Ripon and surrounding villages and are delighted to support schools playing a part in promoting good oral health within our local community.

Our Story

Boroughbridge Dental Centre was founded over 30 years ago by Dr Andrew Jones, originally operating from a small bungalow a few hundred meters up the road on Wetherby Road, Boroughbridge. Around 20 years later, the practice relocated to its current home on Wetherby Road, where it has continued to grow and serve the local community ever since.

The building itself, once a renovated detached house, has evolved significantly over the years. What began as a five-surgery practice has expanded to meet the needs of our growing patient base. In 2021, Dr Richard Hajjawi, who had previously worked at the practice as an associate dentist, took ownership when Dr Jones relocated with his family.

Since then, Richard has led an exciting period of development, adding three additional surgery rooms and expanding the team from around 10 to more than 30 members of staff. Today, Boroughbridge Dental Centre continues to build on its strong foundations, combining long-standing community roots with modern facilities and a growing, dedicated team.

We are proud to be a family focused dental practice committed to caring for patients of all ages in a friendly and supportive environment. Our philosophy centres on minimally invasive dentistry, focusing on prevention, early intervention, and gentle treatment wherever possible. By preserving as much natural tooth structure as we can and promoting long-term oral health, we aim to provide care that is both effective and considerate of each patient’s comfort and wellbeing. Whether welcoming young children for their first visit or supporting adults with more complex dental needs, our goal is always the same; to deliver high-quality, personalised care that helps every member of the family maintain a healthy, confident smile for years to come.

Excellent Care!

“I recently visited a dental clinic and received excellent attention and care. The staff were highly skilled and experienced in cleaning and fillings. My appointment lasted about 90 minutes, and I didn’t feel a thing thanks to Jess’s expertise and helpfulness. She explained everything step by step until it was finished. The team is friendly and wonderful, and they deserve more than 5 stars.”
