During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 15 July 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.
Warwick Road Dental is locally known as Plumfield Dental practice and is in Carlisle. It provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children. The provider was in the process of updating their registration to change the name of their location.
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 5 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 19 staff. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 2 dentists, 3 dental nurses, 1 dental hygienist, 1 receptionist, the head of people and the chief of business strategy.
The service provides cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in scope of CQC regulation and are not covered in our inspection.
