All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 28 November 2025.

We found the practice had met regulations.

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

Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.

Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.

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 Middlesbrough and provides NHS and 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.

The practice had 7 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 30 staff, of which there were 10 dentists, 12 dental nurses, 3 dental therapists, 4 receptionists and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 5 dentists, 3 dental nurses, 3 receptionists and the practice manager.

During a routine inspection

We spoke to people who used the service, who told us they were generally satisfied with the service, and that their treatments and any fees were explained thoroughly to them before treatment commenced. People were involved in the planning of their treatment and were given information to help them make an informed choice. We reviewed computerised patient records which showed that a choice of treatments had been discussed and explained. Comments from people using the service included "fine- no problems" and "I've been coming here all my life".

People had an up to date assessment of their needs before treatment was carried out, and there were appropriate emergency procedures within the practice. Treatment rooms were kept clean and tidy, and instruments were sterilized before use in accordance with current guidance. There were appropriate policies and procedures in place for the prevention and control of infection.

Although staff said they generally felt well supported within the workplace, they also said they would welcome the opportunity for more appraisals and supervisions, to allow them to raise issues and discuss their career development. The provider carried out appropriate quality monitoring of the service provided.
