Our view of the service
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 9 July 2026.
We found the practice had met all 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.
Sunil Chudasama (trading as Dentalkind) is in Billericay, Essex and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
The practice was located on the first floor above a high street shopping centre. Stairs had handrails on either side. Patients who required step free access were directed to other local services. Car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, were available in pay and display car parks near the practice.
The practice had 3 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 20 staff, of which there were 4 dentists, 4 dental nurses, 2 dental hygienists, 1 treatment coordinator, 5 visiting staff, 2 receptionists, 1 facial aesthetics practitioner 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.
People's experience of this service

Comments included, “I have been a patient at this practice since 2016. I have had extensive work and regularly see the hygienist. The care provided by the team is outstanding and I highly recommend this practice.”
Patients commented positively about the standards of cleanliness. Comments from patients included, “It’s always very clean, but doesn’t smell like a dentist.”
Patients felt able to book appointments within an acceptable timescale for their needs and said they had enough time during their appointment without feeling rushed.
Patients told us they were given clear information to help them make an informed choice about their treatment and any associated costs. They were involved in decisions about their care.
Patients said when they were prescribed medicines, sufficient information was given.
Patients told us that they were supported to maintain their oral health and were provided with appropriate information and resources.
The practice shared patient feedback with the team. We were told this was reviewed and where suggestions had been made, appropriate action would be taken.
