We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 16 September 2026.

We found the practice had met regulations.

The practice had effective systems to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control. The practice should take action to implement any recommendations in their fire safety risk assessment and ensure ongoing fire safety management is effective.

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 Shadwell, Leeds and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was a car park, and step-free access to the practice which is all on the ground floor of the premises.

The practice had 4 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 15 staff, of which there were 3 dentists, 7 dental nurses (one of whom manages the practice), 2 dental hygiene therapists and 3 receptionists.

Two weeks before our inspection, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We reviewed patient feedback we received, and feedback routinely obtained by the practice. On the day of our inspection, we obtained feedback from patients. This provided a positive view of the dental team and care provided by the practice.

Patients commented positively on the welcome, friendliness and efficiency of the team, and the standards of cleanliness.

Patients felt able to book appointments within an acceptable timescale for their needs and said they had enough time during their appointment without feeling rushed.

Patients told us they were given clear information to help them make an informed choice about their treatment and any associated costs. They were involved in decisions about their care.

Patients said when they were prescribed medicines, sufficient information was given.

Patients told us that they were supported to maintain their oral health and were provided with appropriate information and resources.

The practice shared patient feedback with the team. We were told this was reviewed and where suggestions had been made, appropriate action would be taken.
