During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 3 April 2025.

We found the practice had met regulations.

Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.

Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our inspection, could access care, support and treatment when required.

Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance and infection control procedures were in place.

The practice had systems to manage risks.

 

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

There was step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces available, including dedicated parking for disabled people, 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 1 dentist, 2 dental nurses, 2 dental hygienists, 2 receptionists and 1 clinical dental technician. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including the principal dentist, 2 dental nurses, and 1 receptionist.

During a routine inspection

People we spoke with explained that confidential issues were discussed privately in the surgery and staff only discussed appointments at reception. One person said, "they're discreet, they will explain in a room if it's confidential."

People who used the service told us they were satisfied with the treatment they received at Philmar Dental Surgery. We spoke with three people who were at the surgery for treatment or check ups. All three people spoke highly about the care, support and treatment they had been given by the practice.

The people we spoke with said Philmar dental surgery was always clean. One person said, "it's very clean, I have no complaints about that".

The provider had an appropriate system in place for gathering, recording and evaluating information about the quality and safety of care the service provided. The practice had a clinical governance policy in place which outlined their governance arrangements.
