All Inspections

2 October 2012

During a routine inspection

People's privacy, dignity and independence were respected. We observed staff treating people with respect, being polite and courteous. There was a friendly atmosphere between staff and the people who used the service. One person told us, 'I have been given lots of advice about how to brush my teeth and gums.' Another person told us 'Great service, I am happy to travel to see the dentist."

People experienced care, treatment and support that met their needs and protected their rights. All three people we spoke with told us they were very satisfied with the care and treatment they received. One person told us, 'I don't think I could get a better service anywhere else.' Another person said, 'Care is brilliant, the dentist has been good.'

People were treated in a clean, hygienic environment. The people we spoke with told us they had no concerns with the hygiene. One person told us, 'It is always clean and tidy.' Another person said, 'There is a good standard of hygiene.'

People were cared for, or supported by, suitably qualified, skilled and experienced staff. Appropriate checks had been undertaken before staff began work.

There was an effective complaints system in place. Complaints people made were responded to appropriately. People told us if they had any concerns or complaints they would discuss them with staff members and they were confident of using the complaints system.

Patient questionnaires showed there was a high level of satisfaction with the practice.
