During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 15 July 2026.

We found the practice had met regulations.

The practice had 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.

The practice is in Gloucester and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice via a portable ramp and car parking spaces were 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 10 staff, of which there were 4 dentists, 4 qualified dental nurses, 1 trainee dental nurse and 1 dental hygienist. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection.

During a routine inspection

We spoke with four people who used the practice. They made positive comments about the service and the treatment they had received. One person told us "I can't fault them". Another person commented that one of the dentists was "brilliant". There were arrangements in place to protect children and vulnerable adults from the risk of abuse. People we spoke to said that the practice environment was clean when they visited, one person commented that it was "always clean". We found that there were effective procedures in place for the decontamination of dental instruments. We also found that the practice sought the views of people that used the service and responded to these.

At the time of our inspection the provider did not have a registered manager in post.
