All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 17 February 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.

The practice is in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice via a portable ramp and car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.

The practice had 2 treatment rooms. The total number of staff was 4. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 1 dentist and 1 dental nurse.

During a routine inspection

Patients who expressed their views to us were positive about the service provided at Dukinfield Dental Care. Comments included, "Excellent", "The staff are professional and very helpful", "Very attentive", and "The staff will always sort out appointments that are convenient to me".

Patents were routinely asked for their consent to any treatment. This consent was based on being given clear and understandable information by the dental team.

Assessments of the patient's dental needs were routinely undertaken. Sufficient staff with appropriate training and qualifications were available to meet the needs of patients.

Hygiene within the practice was well maintained to minimise the risk of cross infection.

Patients were confident that if they had any cause for complaint they could raise the issue with staff at the practice and they told us they felt confident that all issues would be addressed.
