Our view of the service

We undertook a follow-up on-site inspection on 2 October 2026. 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 Smileforlife Limited on 29 July 2026. We had found the registered provider was not providing safe or well-led care and was in breach of Regulation 12, Safe Care and Treatment and 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.

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.

The practice is in Truro, Cornwall and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice however, the practice is not suitable for wheelchair users as the treatment rooms are on the first floor of the building. Car parking spaces were available, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.

The practice had 2 treatment rooms.During the inspection we gathered feedback and spoke with a range of staff.
