All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced, on-site inspection on 7 October 2026.

We found the practice had met regulations.

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 had systems to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control. However, these were not always effective. In particular, improvement should be made in areas of fire safety.

The practice is in Penryn and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces available.

The practice had 4 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 15 staff, of which there were 3 dentists, 7 dental nurses, 1 trainee dental nurse, 2 dental hygienists, 1 receptionist and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection.

During a routine inspection

We spoke with four patients during our inspection. All of whom were highly complementary about their experience of treatment at Waterside Dental Care. Comments included, 'very happy 10 out of 10', "marvellous', 'it's always clean and tidy, I'm impressed' and 'the dentist is very good '.

People's privacy, dignity and independence were respected and people experienced care, treatment and support that met their needs and protected their rights.

People who used the service were protected from the risk of abuse, because the provider had taken reasonable steps to identify the possibility of abuse and prevent abuse from happening.

People were protected from the risk of infection because appropriate guidance had been followed.

People were cared for by staff who were supported to deliver care and treatment safely and to an appropriate standard.
