Implant and Aesthetic Center Limited

We undertook a follow-up on-site inspection on 19 March 2026. This was carried out to review the actions taken by the registered provider to improve the quality of care and to assess whether the practice was meeting legal requirements.

We had previously undertaken an announced on-site inspection of Implant and Aesthetic Center Limited on 21 January 2026. We had found the registered provider was not providing safe or well-led care and was in breach of regulations 12 safe care and treatment, and 17 good governance of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

During our follow-up inspection, we found the practice had not met regulations. While the practice had addressed many of the issues found during our last inspection, there were ongoing concerns relating to the oversight and governance of the service.

The practice had improved their systems to identify and manage risks, however procedures relating to infection prevention and control, radiation safety and management of medical emergency equipment and medicines required further improvement.

The systems in place to monitor and improve the quality and safety of the service were not effective. As a result, the practice did not consistently identify shortfalls or opportunities for improvement, which limited its ability to make necessary and timely changes to the service.

Recruitment procedures and safeguarding processes had improved to broadly reflect current legislation. Staff treated patients with dignity and respect and ensured access to care, support, and treatment when required.

Implant and Aesthetic Center Limited is in the London Borough of Camden and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children. The practice provides general dentistry and dental implants either at the London location, or patients can choose to have implant placement at the service’s partner clinic in Budapest, Hungary.

There was step-free access to the practice through the use of a removable ramp, and car parking spaces were available near the practice.

The practice had 3 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 3 staff: the principal specialist oral surgeon, and 2 associate dentists. Agency staff were used for dental nursing and reception staff. The practice worked closely with a partner company within the UK, who referred potential patients to the service and organised logistics for those patients who chose to have treatment in Hungary. A representativefrom the practice in Hungary was helping the registered manager with practice management.

The provider was not complying with 2 regulations. Full details of the regulations the provider was not meeting are within the inspection findings below. In instances where CQC has begun a process of regulatory action, we may publish this information on our website after any representations and/or appeals have been concluded, if the action has been taken forward.

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 21 January 2026.

We found the practice had not met all regulations.

The practice had ineffective systems to identify and manage risks, including infection prevention and control, the management of medical emergencies, radiation safety, management of Legionella, fire safety, and sharps safety.

Recruitment procedures did not reflect current legislation. There was ineffective leadership and the service lacked a culture of continuous improvement. Care and treatment was not provided in line with current guidance and staff did not manage medicines in line with current guidance.

However, staff working at the practice were qualified and were registered with the General Dental Council (GDC). They treated patients with dignity and respect and ensured access to care, support, and treatment when required.
