During an assessment under our new approach
We undertook a follow-up inspection on 30 January 2026. This was carried out to review the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to assess whether the practice was meeting legal requirements.
We had previously undertaken an unannounced inspection of 175 Fore Street Edmonton London on 20 September 2024. We had found the registered provider was not providing safe and well-led care and was in breach of Regulations 12 Safe care and treatment, 17 Good governance, 18 Staffing and 19 Fit and proper persons employed, of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
During our follow-up inspection, we found the practice had met regulations.
The practice had strengthened its systems for identifying, assessing and mitigating risks. These included areas such as fire and premises safety, equipment safety, Legionella management, general health and safety, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH), radiation safety and the management of medical emergencies.
The practice had infection control procedures which reflected published guidance.
The practice had effective systems to review and investigate incidents and accidents.
There were improved systems in place to monitor training to ensure appropriate action can be taken quickly when training requirements were not being met.
Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.
The practice had safeguarding processes, and they knew their responsibilities for safeguarding.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and the required recruitment documentation, including vaccination records, was available for every member of the dental team.
There was effective leadership supported by a culture of continuous improvement.
Staff told us that care and treatment provided to patients will be in line with current guidance.
The practice is in Edmonton, in the London Borough of Enfield, and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
Whilst the provider offers a range of medical services from this location, we only looked at the provision of dental services during this inspection.
There was step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces were available near the practice.
The practice had 1 dental treatment room.During the inspection we spoke with the owner, the dentist, the dental nurse, the registered manager and the practice manager.
