All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 19 February 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 Southampton 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 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 2 principal dentists, 6 associate dentists, 1 foundation training dentist, 5 dental nurses, 3 trainee dental nurses, 2 dental therapists, 1 cleaner and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 1 principal dentist, 2 associate dentists, 3 dental nurses, 2 trainee dental nurses and the practice manager.

During an inspection looking at part of the service

At our previous inspection we had found that essential standards were not being met with respect to records relating to the management of the practice. During this inspection we checked that actions had been taken to address this.

We found that suitable arrangements were in place for the management of records. Records were kept of patients' consent to treatment. Checklists showed that routine environmental cleaning procedures were being followed. Spot checks of infection control policies were recorded. There was a documented audit of decontamination processes.

During a routine inspection

Patients who used the dental practice told us they were satisfied with the service they received. One patient we spoke with described it as 'Very good', and another said, 'First class, no complaints'. Patients said they were given enough information about their treatment and options available to them. They were given time to make decisions about their treatment. One said they were given 'all the options' and their dentist was 'very open'. Treatment was delivered according to the agreed plans and they received appropriate follow-up information. They told us the practice was clean and hygienic, and that the staff were friendly and put them at their ease.

We found that people were involved in and understood the care and treatment choices available to them. They experienced effective, safe and appropriate care and treatment. Patients were cared for in a clean and hygienic environment. The provider was carrying out the necessary checks before staff started work. There were systems to regularly assess and monitor the quality of service that patients received, but the practice was not keeping all appropriate records to do with the management of the practice.
