All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 13 October 2025.

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 provider should take action to ensure audits of radiography are undertaken at regular intervals to improve the quality of the service. Practice should also ensure that, where appropriate, audits have documented learning points and the resulting improvements can be demonstrated.

The practice is in Ruskington in Lincolnshire and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces available, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.

The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 5 staff, of which there was 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 1 dentist, 2 dental nurses, 1 dental hygienist and the practice manager.

During an inspection looking at part of the service

Prior to completing our inspection of the dental practice we reviewed the action plan that the provider had sent us in response to our concerns.

We carried out an inspection of the practice and observed what changes had been made.

We spoke with a member of staff and the nominated individual for the service and discussed with them the planned improvements to the practice.

27 September 2012

During a routine inspection

We used a number of different methods to help us reach a judgement on this service. These including talking with patients using the service, members of the staff team, observation and looking at records.

We spoke with three patients and three members of staff.

We also looked at records. These included care plans, records of meetings and information about how the service operated. We also looked at information from surveys undertaken by the provider to assess the quality of service.

Patients we spoke with said they were happy with the care and support they received, felt it was delivered in a safe way and that the practice was clean and hygienic. They told us that the dentists and staff offered them advice and explained the options available to them.

One patient told us, 'Its fine. I would highly recommend it to anyone.'

We observed members of staff wore practice uniform and we witnessed them interacting with patients in a courteous, polite and understanding manner

People were cared for in a clean environment but the systems in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection with reusable equipment were not sufficient.
