All Inspections

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 30 September 2025.

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.

The practice is in Market Drayton, Shropshire and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.

There was step-free access to the practice via a portable ramp. Car parking spaces were available, including dedicated parking for disabled people, near the practice.

The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 10 staff, of which there were 2 dentists, 2 qualified dental nurses, 1 trainee dental nurse, 2 dental hygienists, 2 receptionists and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection.

The service provides cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in scope of CQC regulation and are not covered in our inspection.

During a routine inspection

We spoke with nine people who used St Mary's Dental Practice to gain their experiences of the service they received. People we spoke with included new patients, people who had received extensive treatment, people who were nervous about visiting the dentist, and those who had attended the practice over a number of years.

People shared positive experiences of their care and treatment. Comments included,

"The new dentist is very nice. They are very gentle. They make you feel relaxed'. And "I have already recommended them to friends and family'.

People told us their treatment options were fully discussed with them. This enabled them to make an informed decision about their treatment and whether they wanted to go ahead with the dental work recommended.

People received their treatment in a clean and hygienic environment. We saw the practice had effective arrangements for the safe management of infection control. Staff had received training to reduce the risk of cross infection.

People considered the staff were competent and knowledgeable in their work. Staff told us they were engaged in continuous professional development and had appropriate professional registrations.

Quality assurance systems were in place to monitor and review the quality of the service provided.
