All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 19 August 2026.

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 Fareham, Hampshire and provides NHS private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

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

The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 5 staff, of which there were 1 dentist, 2 dental nurses, 1 dental hygienist and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including the dentist, 1 dental nurse, the dental hygienist and the practice manager.

During a routine inspection

During our inspection, and through follow up telephone conversations, we spoke to five people who used the service. We spoke to the practice manager, a receptionist who was also a dental nurse and the dentist for this service.

People told us they were very happy with the service they received. They told us they had enough information to make a decision about their treatment. They were given options to support them in making informed decisions on what treatment they received.

We were told that the dentist fully explained any treatment they were being offered and that they were encouraged to ask questions about their treatment. People said they were provided with clear information about the cost of the different treatments.

We were told that all the staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. People said that appointments were flexible to meet their needs and if they needed urgent dental advice or care that the service was extremely responsive to their needs.

We were told by people who used the service that they felt safe and that the dentist and staff made them feel at ease and very welcomed. We saw that the service provided a wide range of information for people on dental and other health issues.

People told us they had not needed to make any complaints and so had not sought information on this. We saw that the service had a robust complaints procedure which was clearly provided for people to see.
