We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 3rd March 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 Gravesend, Kent and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
The practice did not have step-free access to the practice however, car parking spaces were available, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.
The practice had 4 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 21 staff, of which there were 8 dentists, 6 registered dental nurses, an apprentice dental nurse, a dental therapist, 4 receptionists and the practice manager who is also a registered dental nurse. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 3 dentists, 3 dental nurses, the trainee dental nurse and the practice manager.
