All Inspections

12 June 2013

During a routine inspection

Patients who expressed a view to us were positive about the service provided at DHS Dental Practice. Comments included: 'Brilliant, exceptional', 'very good' and 'excellent'. Descriptions of the staff's attitude included 'very helpful, considerate and very attentive', 'reassuring ' pleasant', and 'impeccable'. One patient said, 'This is a very nice practice, the staff and dentist take good care of you and you feel involved in the whole process'.

Patients were routinely asked for their consent to any treatment. This consent was based on being given clear and understandable information by the dental team.

Assessments of the patient's dental needs were routinely undertaken. Sufficient numbers of staff, with sufficient training and qualifications were available to meet the needs of patients.

Hygiene within the practice was well maintained to minimise the risk of cross infection.

Patients were confident that if they had any cause for complaint they could raise the issue with staff at the practice.
