During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 4 December 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 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.
Willow Tree Dental is in Swiss Cottage, in the London Borough of Camden and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
There was step-free access to the practice and public transport links were available near the practice.
The practice had 3 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 12 staff, of which there were 4 partners, (2 were specialist orthodontists and 1 was also the registered manager), 1 associate dentist, 1 visiting dentist, 1 dental nurse, 3 dental hygienists, 1 receptionist and the practice manager. The practice had also enlisted the help of a compliance manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 1 partner, who was also the registered manager, 1 dental nurse, 1 receptionist, the practice manager and the compliance manager.
The service provides cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in scope of CQC regulation and are not covered in our inspection.
