All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced inspection on 7 July 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 practice is in Westminster and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

The practice was not accessible to patients with mobility issues. This was due to the building entrance having steps that could not be addressed with a temporary ramp.

The practice had 3 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 5 staff, of which there were 1 orthodontist, 1 dental nurse, 2 orthodontic therapists and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including the orthodontist, dental nurse, orthodontic therapist and the practice manager.

Staff had received basic life support training and there were systems in place to deal with foreseeable medical emergencies.

There were effective systems in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection. Reusable instruments were decontaminated in line with published guidance. On the day of our visit the practice was clean and well maintained.

There were enough qualified, skilled and experienced staff to meet people's needs. All clinical staff were registered with the General Dental Council (GDC). Staff had access to appropriate professional development. One the day of the visit there were enough staff to meet the needs of people.
