During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 15 April 2025.
We found the practice had met regulations.
Infection control procedures in place were effective.
The practice mostly had effective systems to identify and manage risks. Improvements could be made to the oversight of fire safety.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation.
There was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.
Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance.
Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our inspection, could access care, support and treatment when required.
The practice is in Wallasey, Wirral and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
There was step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces were available near the practice, including dedicated parking for disabled people.
The practice had 12 treatment rooms. The total number of staff was 38. During the inspection we spoke with 3 dentists, 1 dental hygienist, 2 dental nurses, 3 receptionists and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection. The service provides cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in scope of CQC regulation and are not covered in our inspection.
