All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 19 January 2026.

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.

Mydentist - Southfield Lane – Bradford is part of Mydentist, a dental group provider. The practice provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

Due to the nature of the premises, step-free access would not be possible. Any patients requiring step free access would be signposted to a local sister practice which is fully accessible. Car parking spaces are available near the practice.

The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 8 staff. 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 therapist, 1 receptionist and the practice manager.

During an inspection looking at part of the service

We did not speak to people who used the service on this occasion.

The purpose of the inspection was to check the provider had made improvements to the systems and procedures in place to decontaminate equipment and prevent, detect and control the spread of health care associated infections. We found the required improvements had been made.

8 January 2013

During a routine inspection

Three people we spoke with told us they were treated with respect. They said their treatments were explained to them so they had been able to make an informed decision about dental care and treatment.

Where people had to contribute to the cost of the treatment they confirmed the costs had been explained. We looked at a four people's treatment records. These showed us what treatment people had received, the cost of their treatment and that people had signed the records to confirm they understood their treatment costs.

Three people, who used the practice, told us they could get appointments when they needed them and the practice would fit them in at short notice if they required an emergency appointment. They told us they had received a 'good' service and one commented they felt 'comfortable here'. The response to the annual questionnaire completed in June 2012 showed 92% stated the treatment they had received as good to excellent and 88% rated their overall experience as good to excellent.

However although we were told by three people the surgery was always clean and the response to the annual questionnaire completed in June 2012 showed when asked how clean you would rate the surgery and practice as a whole 92% stated it was either good or excellent. We found that improvements needed to be made to ensure the prevention, detection and control of the spread of a health care associated infection.
