The Dental Surgery Stony Stratford

We undertook a follow-up on-site inspection on 23 February 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 The Dental Surgery Stony Stratford on 9 September 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.

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.

There was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.
