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 and respect and ensured access to care, support, and treatment when required.

The practice is in Eastleigh, Hampshire and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

The practice is located on the first floor of a medical centre and there was a lift allowing step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces were available, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.

During a routine inspection

Patients we spoke with confirmed that the dentist explained the different treatment options in a way they could understand and said that they were made aware of any risks and benefits involved.

Patients needs were assessed and care and treatment was planned and delivered in line with their individual treatment plan. All patients we spoke with confirmed this.

We saw that the practice had effective systems in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection. Staff were able to demonstrate that they were aware of the safe practices required to meet the required standards.

The registered manager was able to demonstrate that regular compliance audits were conducted. We saw that the audit covered a wide range of subjects, for example, cross infection, patient records, training and x-rays.
