All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this on-site, announced assessment on 8 November 2024. We found the practice had met all regulations. Recruitment procedures broadly reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance and infection control procedures were in place. The practice had some systems to manage risks. Improvements were needed to the arrangements around the assessment of risks associated with fire. This service is registered with CQC under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 in respect of some, but not all, of the services it provides. There are some exemptions from regulation by CQC which relate to particular types of regulated activities and services and these are set out in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. The service provides non-surgical cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in-scope such as certain facial aesthetics procedures. There was step free access to the practice and car parking spaces were available near the practice. The practice had 3 treatment rooms. During the assessment we spoke with the principal dentist, 1 associate dentist, 1 dental hygienist, 3 dental nurses and the practice manager.

During a routine inspection

Patients told us they felt their privacy and dignity was maintained and felt involved in the decision making around their care and treatment. A patient told us that 'treatment options are discussed in a way that is easy to understand.' Patients trusted the dentist and judged them as 'clinically sound' and described them as 'very honest.'

Patients commented that they were happy with the practice's appointment system and never had a problem making an appointment. Arrangements were in place to deal with medical emergencies.

Systems were in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection, including staff training and policies and procedures. The practice regularly assessed and monitored the quality of services provided and addressed any issues identified. All five patients commented very positively on the care they received from their dentist and practice staff and described the care as 'excellent'.
