During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced inspection on 12 January 2026
We found the practice had met the 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.
Myorthodontist Cedar House Worthing is part of Mydentist, a dental group provider. The practice is in Worthing and provides NHS and private orthodontic care and treatment for adults and children and private hygiene treatment.
The practice is accessed via an internal staircase. Patients are advised of access upon contacting the practice and are able to be seen at another of the group’s practices if required. Car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, are available near the practice.
The practice had 3 treatment rooms. Two of these were partitioned and could accommodate 2 patients at the same time as is acceptable for orthodontic appointments. However, the practice minimised the dual use of rooms to enhance the patient experience. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 16 staff, of which there were 2 orthodontists, 4 orthodontic therapists, 5 dental nurses, 1 hygienist, 3 receptionists and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection. Two compliance managers for the company were also present to support staff with the inspection.
