Updated 20 November 2025

We carried out this announced on-site inspection with remote support from a specialist advisor on 8 April 2026.

We found the practice had met regulations.

The practice had effective systems to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control.

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.

SDA Dental Studio is in Canary Wharf, London and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces available, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.

The practice had 3 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 14 staff, of which there was the principal dentist, 4 associate dentists, 1 specialist orthodontist, 1 hygienist, 1 trained dental nurse and 3 trainee dental nurses, 2 receptionists, (one of whom was training to be a practice manager) and another trainee practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including the principal dentist, 1 dental nurse, and the trainee practice manager.

Two weeks before our inspection, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We received feedback from 5 patients. Patient feedback provided a positive view of the dental team and care provided by the practice.

Comments included, “Reception was polite and well organised from start to finish. Calls are so professional and they are always there to help.” Another patient told us, “I had a great experience with [the principal dentist]. They were very caring, made me feel comfortable, and explained everything clearly throughout the process.”

Patients commented positively about the standards of cleanliness.

Patients felt able to book appointments within an acceptable timescale for their needs and said they had enough time during their appointment without feeling rushed. One patient told us, “Reliable dental clinic in a convenient location. Can always get any issues I've had fixed here.”

Patients told us they were given clear information to help them make an informed choice about their treatment and any associated costs. They were involved in decisions about their care.

The practice shared patient feedback with the team. We were told this was reviewed and where suggestions had been made, appropriate action would be taken.
