All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 3 August 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 the London Borough of Newham 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 1 treatment room. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 5 staff, of which there were 2 dentists, 2 dental nurses, and 1 receptionist. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 2 dentists, 1 dental nurse and the receptionist.

During a routine inspection

People who use the service spoke positively about the attitude, care and treatment provided by the practice team. People told us the treatments they had were clearly explained to them. One person told us 'It's a good practice'. Two people told us that they had been using the practice for over 10 years.

People received their consultations in private rooms. We saw that staff closed the door to ensure that people's privacy was respected.

People who used the service were kept safe because staff understood what constituted abuse and knew what they must do if they witness or suspect it. There were policies and procedures for safeguarding people who use the service.

The practice was observed to be very clean and hygienically maintained. The dentist showed us the practice's procedure for washing, decontamination and bagging of the instruments used for treatment.

We saw the satisfaction surveys that had been completed by people using the service and they were happy with the treatment that they had received. The provider had a system to assess the feedback provided in the satisfaction questionnaires and to take action where required to address areas where the need for improvement had been identified.
