We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 21 November 2025.
We found the practice had met regulations.
The practice had systems in place to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control. However, improvement should be made to ensure all recommendations made in the fire risk assessment were implemented in a timely manner, in order to minimise risk of fire at the premises.
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 Edgware, in the London Borough of Barnet, and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
The practice was located on the first floor of a high-street building and was therefore not wheelchair accessible. Patients were informed of this when contacting the practice and were signposted to a nearby practice that was accessible to wheelchair users. On-street parking and public transport services were available near the practice.
The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 5 staff, of which there were 3 dentists, 1 qualified dental nurse and 1 trainee dental nurse. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 1 dentist, the qualified dental nurse and the trainee dental nurse.
