During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 6 August 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.
Smiledent Dental Centre - Green Lanes is in the London borough of Haringey and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
The practice was situated on the first floor so was not accessible to patients who were wheelchair users. Patients with mobility issues were signposted to local practices which were accessible. Public transport services and car parking spaces were available near the practice.
The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 8 staff, of which there were 4 dentists, 1 dental nurse, 1 trainee dental nurse, 1 dental hygienist, and the practice manager who in addition to this role also worked as a dental nurse and receptionist. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 2 dentists, 1 dental nurse and the practice manager.
