During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 30 September 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.
The practice is in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
The practice was not accessible for wheelchair users as all treatment rooms were on the first floor. Patients who were wheelchair users were signposted to practices nearby which were accessible. 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 5 staff, of which there were 2 principal dentists, 2 dental nurses, and 1 front of house/receptionist. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to all 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.
