All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 6 July 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 Coventry and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice and a ground floor treatment room.

The practice had 5 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 24 staff, of which there were 5 dentists (including 1 foundation dentist), 12 dental nurses (including 2 trainee dental nurses), 4 dental hygienists, 1 receptionist, 1 cleaner and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection.

12 October 2012

During a routine inspection

During our visit on 12 October we spoke with the practice manager, the provider who is the lead dentist for the practice, a dentist, two nurses and two receptionists.

We spoke with six people who had attended the practice. They all spoke positively about the quality of the service they had received. One person told us, "I have been coming to this practice all my life. The dentists have changed during this time, but this dentist is marvellous.'

We saw the dentist undertook an assessment of people's needs before discussing treatment options with them. People we spoke with told us that everything was always explained to them. One person told us, 'I was given really good information. I asked lots of questions and was given clear and honest answers.'

During our visit we saw the practice was clean and tidy. Processes were in place to ensure that equipment was safe to use and high levels of cleanliness maintained.

People described the practice as being welcoming and friendly. One person said 'It's a very friendly practice.' Another person told us, 'I think they are absolutely great. My dentist is conscientious and very considerate. He is highly skilled and knowledgeable. They are first class.'

People told us that they had never had cause to complain about the service they had received. People told us they were satisfied with the service and would recommend the practice to family and friends.
