Our view of the service
We carried out this announced on-site inspection on 28 April 2026.
We found the practice had not met all regulations.
Improvements were required to the oversight of staff mandatory training.
The practice had some systems to identify and manage risks. Improvements were required to ensure these were reflective of practice protocols.
Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation.
Staff treated patients with dignity and respect and ensured access to care, support, and treatment when required.
Love the Dentist Mobberley is in Mobberley, Knutsford and provides 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, near the practice.
The practice had 2 treatment rooms. At the time of our inspection, there was a total of 11 staff, of which there were 3 dentists, 1 visiting oral surgeon, 1 dental therapist, 1 dental nurse, 3 receptionists, a marketing manager (who was also a qualified dental nurse) and the practice manager. We gathered feedback from staff and spoke to a range of staff during our inspection, including 1 dentist, 1 dental therapist, 1 dental nurse, 1 receptionist 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.
The provider was not complying with Regulation 17 Good governance. Full details of the regulation the provider was not meeting are within the inspection report.
We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this inspection.
