During an assessment under our new approach
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 28 July 2026.
We found the practice had met regulations.
Staff had the skills, knowledge and experience to carry out their roles.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation.
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 had effective systems to identify and manage risks. However, improvements were required to ensure all substances hazardous to health are risk assessed.
Improvements should be made to the systems to review, investigate and document incidents.
Church Road Dental Surgery is in Litherland, Liverpool and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children.
There was step-free access to the practice via a ramp and on-street car parking available near the practice.
The practice had 4 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 16 staff. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 2 dentists, 1 dental therapist, 1 dental nurse, 1 receptionist and the practice manager.
