During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 28 April 2026.
We found the practice had met regulations.
The practice had effective systems to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control. The inspection highlighted minor risks for fire safety and risk assessing hazardous substances.
Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation. The practice should ensure these are consistently followed.
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 Wigan, Greater Manchester and provides NHS dental care and treatment for adults and children.
There was step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.
The practice had 3 treatment rooms. The total number of staff was 13. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 2 dentists, 2 dental nurses and the practice manager.
