All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 20 August 2025.

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 Wilmslow, Cheshire and provides private 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 10. 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 the compliance lead for the practice.

The service provides cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in scope of CQC regulation and are not covered in our inspection.

During a routine inspection

We spoke with two people who were visiting the practice during our inspection. People were complimentary about the service they received. One person told us "They are very friendly and sympathetic; they will make allowances and squeeze me in if its needed."

People told us they were treated well at this practice and they were happy with the service provided. One person we spoke to said; "I wouldn't think of going to another dentist after having been to this one."

People told us that the practice was always clean when they attended. They told us that staff regularly washed their hands and always wore gloves and other protective equipment when they were being treated.

We spoke to two people who had attended the practice for treatment and they were both very satisfied with the treatment they had received. They both felt staff were suitably skilled to deliver the treatments that they required. One said; "The nurses are so kind when they are looking after me."

We spoke to staff and it was clear they knew how to deal with complaints and that they could escalate them appropriately if they were not able to resolve the complaint themselves.
