During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 17 July 2025.

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.

The practice is in Southampton and provides predominantly NHS dental care and treatment for adults and children.

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

The practice had 3 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 11 staff, of which there were 2 principal dentists, 4 dental nurses, 2 trainee dental nurses, 2 dental therapists and 1 receptionist. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including the 2 principal dentists, 2 dental nurses and the receptionist.

During a routine inspection

We observed three patient consultations with the provider, spoke with one patient, the provider/dentist and spoke with two staff. Patients told us they were very happy with the treatment they had received and were given options and able to choose the course of treatment. They informed us that the dentist asked for their consent before carrying out any procedure and always explained what they were doing throughout the consultation. They could ask any questions and were given enough time to do this. They felt that their decisions and opinions were respected by the staff and said they staff were excellent.

We found that people were given appropriate information and choices about their treatment options. Care and treatment was planned and delivered in a way that was intended to ensure people's safety and welfare. There was a thorough system of maintaining all equipment used in the practice with an effective system in place that reduced the risk and spread of infection. This was supported by all staff and we found a strong commitment to ensure they remained appropriately trained and maintain high standards of care.
