During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced, on-site inspection on 13 August 2025.
We found the practice had met regulations.
The practice had effective systems to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control. Improvements should be made to the systems to ensure fire safety and Legionella are managed effectively.
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.
Westmount Dental Surgery @ Jarrow is part of Dr. Mohammed Ashfaq Quraishi, a dental group provider. The practice is in Jarrow in Tyne And Wear and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
