All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced, on-site inspection on 25 August 2026.

We found the practice had not met all regulations.

The practice did not have effective systems to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control.

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.

Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.

Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation

The practice is in St. Blazey and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 3 staff, of which there was 1 dentist, 1 dental nurse, and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection.

The provider was not complying with Regulation 17 Good governance. Full details of the regulation the provider was not meeting are within the inspection report.

We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this inspection.

30 July 2012

During an inspection looking at part of the service

We carried out an inspection of Par River Dental Practice on 30 July 2012 to follow up on previous compliance actions that had been made in February 2012.

During our inspection we met with two people who had come for examination or treatment. Comments included, 'the dentist always remembers everybody's name and always remembers the previous appointment'. 'if you ever have to re-arrange there is no problem'. 'You feel in control'. 'Always stress free, that's why I come' and 'I have recommended the dentist to a lot of friends, who don't like going to the dentist'.

26 March 2012

During a routine inspection

We met with five people who had come for examination or treatment. They were all very positive in their comments, and very appreciative of the care and treatment they had received.

Two people said that they had been disappointed that the practice could no longer offer treatment under the NHS, so it was more expensive, but they did not have any intention of looking for another dentist. 'All good, I wouldn't go anywhere else,' said one person awaiting treatment.

Another person said, 'I've been dealt with quite satisfactorily.'

One person told us they had been well informed about their problem and about treatments and offered a choice of crowns.

One person described the practice as 'Good as gold.' They needed quick treatment and were not disappointed.

One person told us they had been very pleased when Mr Gedah had come in on a Saturday when they had been in pain and needed treatment.

This practice is on the first floor. There is a stair-lift. There is a waiting area and toilet upstairs and access to a disabled toilet on the ground floor. There are two treatment rooms and an office.
