Updated 18 June 2026

We carried out this announced, on-site inspection on 27 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.

Octagon Orthodontics is in the London Borough of Ealing 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 is in a building shared with another practice. They share a reception, waiting room, and decontamination room, but have separate surgeries, equipment and dental chairs. The practice had 3 treatment rooms, 2 located upstairs and 1 located downstairs. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 5 staff, of which there were 1 orthodontist, 1 dental nurse, 1 orthodontic therapist, 1 receptionist and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including the orthodontist who was also the practice owner, the orthodontic therapist and the practice manager.

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.

Staff were described as kind and friendly, and going above and beyond. The service was described as fantastic and exceeding expectations.

Patients commented positively about 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.

In a practice survey, 100% of patients reported 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.

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.
