All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 19 May 2026.

We found the practice had not met all regulations.

The practice had systems to manage risks, including infection prevention and control. However, leadership arrangements were not consistently effective, and not all risks associated with the delivery of regulated activities had been suitably identified, assessed and mitigated. In particular those associated with fire safety and Legionella.

Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation, but staff training was not all up-to-date or reviewed at regular intervals.

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.

Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.

The practice is in Overton, Hampshire 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 had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 5 staff, of which there were 2 dentists, and 3 dental nurses who also covered reception duties. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including a dentist and 2 dental nurses.

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

The provider was not complying with Regulations 12 Safe care and treatment and 17 Good governance. Full details of the regulations the provider was not meeting are within the inspection report.

We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this inspection.

During a routine inspection

We spoke with four patients in the practice and one person on the telephone following the visit. People were complementary about the quality of the service provided at the practice. One patient told us "The care is very good. I'm a nervous patient and they put me at ease.' Another said "Cannot fault the service. All the staff are welcoming and professional.' One person who had particular needs told us that the dentist was 'very understanding and patient with me'. People told us they had been treated respectfully and the practice was well run, spotlessly clean and efficient. We were told that the dentists fully explained treatment options in a way people could understand and explained the various costs involved.

Records for people who used the services were up-to-date and stored in electronic form. The premises were clean and well organised and staff routinely followed infection control procedures when carrying out treatments. Staff undertook appropriate training to enhance their knowledge and skills and to keep them up-to-date. The practice had a complaints procedure and people had no doubt they would be listened to if they raised a concern or had a complaint about the services provided.
