During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site assessment on 2 April 2025.

We found the practice had met regulations

Infection control procedures in place were effective.

The practice had effective systems to identify and manage risks.

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

Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance.

Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required.

The practice is in Mansfield Woodhouse 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, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.

The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our assessment, there was a total of 8 staff, of which there were 1 dentist, 2 dental nurses, 2 dental therapists, 1 receptionist and 2 practice managers. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our assessment, including the dentist, 1 dental nurse, 1 dental therapist, the receptionist and both practice managers.

The service provides cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in scope of regulation and are not covered in our assessment.

During a routine inspection

We used a number of different methods to help us reach a judgement on this service. These included talking with two patients using the service, two members of the staff team, one dentist and the practice manager. We also looked at records. These included treatment plans, records of meetings and information about how the service operated. We looked at information from surveys and audits undertaken by the provider to assess the quality of the service. We also observed one patient receiving dental treatment.

We saw that the practice had three surgeries located on two floors and enjoyed the services of one full time dentist and a dental therapist.

Patients we spoke with said they were fully involved in their care and treatment options; felt it was delivered in a safe way and that the practice was clean and hygienic. One patient we spoke with said, "It's very good indeed." Another had said, " The surgery is well fitted out, always clean and everyone cheerful and friendly. I couldn't fault it."

We observed members of staff interacting with patients in a courteous, polite and efficient manner.

Patient's diversity and needs were considered and suitable arrangements made to cater for them.

We saw that the practice had a clear infection control policy and that staff were fully aware of it and knew how it should be implemented.

Staff were encouraged to develop their skills and undertake appropriate training to help deliver safe and effective care to patients.
