Archived: Eden Villas Dental Practice

Updated 6 July 2016

We undertook a desk based inspection of Eden Villas Dental Practice on 23 June 2016. This inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our inspection on 18 September 2015 had been made. We inspected the practice against one of the five questions we ask about services: is the service well led. This is because the service was not meeting some legal requirements.

The inspection was carried out by a CQC inspector.

During the inspection we spoke with the registered provider and supporting evidence was sent to the inspector to confirm our findings.
