All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 10 June 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 practice is in Ryde, Isle of Wight and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

The practice was on the first floor so does not have step-free access; however, they refer patients who need step free access to a nearby buddy practice. Car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, are available near the practice.

The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 6 staff, of which there was a dentist, 3 dental nurses, a dental hygienist/therapist, and a cleaner. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including the dentist, 2 dental nurses, and the dental hygienist/therapist.

During an inspection looking at part of the service

Our previous inspection in June 2013 identified that guidance specified in the Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 01-05 was not being followed. During this inspection we found procedures met the essential standards of HTM 01-05.

Patients were cared for in a clean environment. We spoke with two members of staff who demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of infection control principles.

We saw cleaning schedules were in place for clinical and non-clinical areas. We looked at daily and weekly records showing cleaning had been completed in accordance with the schedules. Reusable instruments were sterilised in a purpose built decontamination room.

An infection control audit had been completed which showed infection control systems and procedures were working effectively.

6 June 2013

During a routine inspection

We spoke with six patients who used the practice. They told us they were given sufficient information about how to care for their teeth. We found the service was flexible in respect of where and how they treated patients. We heard one patient being offered a home visit.

We looked at four treatment records and saw treatment plans were clearly documented. Patients told us they were happy with the treatment they received. On said, 'They're very efficient, the service is very good'. Another said, 'I'm content with the service'.

Patients were cared for in a clean environment. However, not all guidance specified in the Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 01-05 was being followed. Infection control audits had not been conducted and no cleaning schedules were in place.

We looked at training records for the dentist, one of the hygienists and one of the dental nurses. We saw each was qualified and registered to practice by the General Dental Council. They had each completed the necessary continued professional development to meet the requirements of their professional body.

The provider had an effective system to regularly assess and monitor the quality of service patients received. The provider used patients' satisfaction questionnaires and verbal feedback to seek the views of people using the service. Changes had been made as a result of feedback received.
