Archived: Friar Street Dental Practice

Patients told us dentists discussed their dental health, provided treatment options and enabled them to make informed choices. They said they were made aware of treatment costs. One patient told us "NHS and private treatment costs are made clear by the service."

All four patients we spoke with were satisfied with the dental care they received from the practice. One person said the practice "Meets my dental health needs."

We looked at five patients' records. They contained medical histories, detailed information from check-ups, records of people's previous dental treatment and plans for proposed treatment.

The practice was clean and had systems to ensure the risk of health care associated infection was minimised. The practice met requirements for the decontamination of dental instruments.

Staff received appropriate professional development. Clinical staff met the requirements to maintain their registration with the General Dental Council.
