During an inspection in response to concerns

We carried out this inspection because of information that we received from the provider relating to an incident at the dental clinic. We spoke with three patients who used the dental clinic. They made positive comments about the service. One patient described how the dentist had helped them to feel "calm and relaxed". They also told us how they had received pain free treatment. Another patient told us that they were pleased to "have such a good dental service". The third patient we spoke to said 'this is the best dentist I have been to".

Patients also told us how they had their dental treatment explained to them and how they had signed forms to give consent for treatment. There was an effective complaints system available and this was provided in different formats to meet the needs of patients. Comments and complaints patients made were responded to appropriately. We also found that quality monitoring systems were in place that included seeking the views of patients.
