We undertook a follow-up on-site inspection on 13 August 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 HA1 Dental on 3 February 2026. We had found the registered provider was not providing well-led care and was in breach of regulation 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 met regulations.
The practice had made improvements to systems to identify and manage the risks associated with fire safety.
Recruitment policies reflected current legislation, and improvements had been made to ensure policies would be adhered to for future recruitment.
Improvements had been made to the oversight of staff training and continued professional development.
HA1 Dental is in the London Borough of Harrow and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
There was step-free access to the practice and car parking spaces available, including dedicated parking for disabled people, at the practice.
The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 9 staff, of which there were 4 dentists, including the principal dentist and 5 dental nurses who also covered administrative duties. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including the principal dentist and a dental nurse.
