We found the practice had met regulations.

The practice had effective systems to identify and manage most 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.

Hopvine House Dental Surgery is part of Simply Smile, a dental group provider. The practice is in Soham in Cambridgeshire and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces available near the practice.

At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 16 staff, of which there were 5 dentists (1 of whom provided implants), 1 dental hygienist, 7 dental nurses (1 of whom was the practice manager), 2 trainee dental nurses and 1 receptionist. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection.

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 14 patients. Patient feedback provided a positive view of the dental team and care provided by the practice.

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.

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.
