Our view of the service
We undertook a follow-up off-site inspection on 14 July 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 Leicester Smile Clinic on 20 June 2025. 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 off-site inspection, we found the practice had met regulations.
The practice had effective systems in place to identify and manage risks, including those relating to fire safety and Legionella management.
There was effective leadership, governance oversight, and a culture of continuous improvement.
Oversight of staff training had been strengthened, while information recorded within dental care records was captured consistently and subject to regular audit.
Leicester Smile Clinic Limited is part of The Smile Clinic Group, a dental group provider. The practice is in Leicester and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
There was step-free access to the practice and car parking was available nearby on local roads.
The practice had 4 treatment rooms.
At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 11 staff. During the follow-up off-site inspection, we spoke with the human resources and compliance manager and the 2 principal dentists.
