During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 4 August 2025.
We found the practice had met regulations.
The practice had some systems to identify and manage risks, including fire, legionella and infection prevention and control.
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.
Issues identified regarding recruitment procedures to ensure they reflected current legislation were acted upon immediately. There was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement.
The practice is in Cheylesmore, Coventry 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 in the practice car park.
The practice had 8 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 29 staff, of which there were 10 dentists, 10 dental nurses, including 3 trainee dental nurses, 1 dental therapist, 2 orthodontic therapists, 2 dental hygienists, 2 receptionists, 1 administrator and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 3 dentists, 3 dental nurses, 2 of which were also working on the reception and the practice manager.
The service provides cosmetic treatments, some of which are not in scope of CQC regulation and are not covered in our inspection.
