Our view of the service
We undertook a follow-up on-site inspection on 28 May 2025. This was carried out to review the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to assess whether the practice was meeting legal requirements.
We had previously undertaken an announced on-site inspection of Highview Dental Practice on 12 March 2025. We had found the registered provider was not providing well-led care and was in breach of regulation 17, good governance of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
During our follow-up inspection, we found the practice had met regulations.
At the time of our inspection, we found that:
Leadership was effective and promoted a culture of continuous improvement.
Systems and processes to maintain oversight of the premises and equipment, including medical emergency and radiation equipment were working effectively.
The practice had systems to identify and manage risks and findings were acted on.
The practice is in Dudley 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, including dedicated parking for disabled people, were available near the practice.
The practice had 2 treatment rooms.At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 7 staff, of which there were 2 dentists, 3 dental nurses, 1 receptionist and the practice manager. We spoke with the practice manager during our inspection.
