Our view of the service
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 23 February 2026.
We found the practice had not met all regulations.
Some systems to identify and manage risks were not effective. The provider sent us evidence areas we identified needed strengthening such as legionella, radiography, medicine and medical emergency management were being addressed following the inspection.
Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.
Staff provided care and treatment in line with current guidance. They treated patients with dignity and respect and ensured access to care, support, and treatment when required.
The practice is in Oldbury, West Midlands and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
The provider was unable to provide step free access to the practice due to the building restrictions.
The practice had 1 treatment room. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 7 staff, of which there were 4 dentists, 2 dental nurses, and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection.
The provider was not complying with Regulation 17, Good Governance. Full details of the regulation the provider was not meeting are within the inspection report.
We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this inspection.
