We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 29 April 2025.
We found the practice had met regulations.
Infection control procedures in place were effective.
The practice had effective systems to identify and manage risks.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and 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 Chatteris, in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
The practice was not wheelchair accessible due to the building being listed. Patients who required wheelchair access were signposted to a nearby practice which was fully accessible.
The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 14 staff, of which there were 6 dentists, 4 dental therapists/dental hygienists, 1 dental nurse, 2 trainee dental nurses and 1 receptionist/treatment co-ordinator. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection.
The service provided some cosmetic treatments, none of which were in scope of CQC regulations and hence were not covered in our inspection.
