All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 12 May 2026.

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 Dental Practice (also known as Longview Drive Dental Practice) is in Huyton, Liverpool and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access via a portable ramp to the practice and car parking spaces available, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.

The practice had 3 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 11 staff, of which there were 2 dentists, 1 dental therapists, 2 qualified dental nurses, 3 trainee dental nurses, 2 receptionists and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 1 dentist, 1 dental therapist, 2 dental nurses, 1 receptionist and the practice manager.

During a routine inspection

We spoke with two people who used the service. They told us they had been very satisfied with the treatment they had received. Each person we spoke with told us they were given options about their treatment when they visited the dentist. People told us the dentist explained different treatment options that were available and what the treatment entailed.

People told us the service had been professional, reliable and friendly and that they felt the dentists and dental nurses were skilled. They told us that as 'patients' they had always been made welcome and were reassured by all of the staff at the surgery. People told us they had signed documentation to give their consent to treatment and that staff checked peoples' medical histories and medication on a regular basis.

People told us they found the surgery to be clean and hygienic and that staff had high standards of cleanliness and infection control. When we looked around the practice we saw evidence that the premises were kept clean. We also saw evidence of effective infection control systems in place and good practice being followed.

When we looked at training records we saw evidence that the dentists, dental nurses and trainee dental nurses had been professionally trained to the level their positions required. We also saw that they had completed training in other appropriate courses.

We saw evidence that there was a quality assurance system in place that informed the future performance of the service.
