During our inspection visit we spoke with two patients who had or were about to receive treatment. Patients told us they were happy with the service they received. Patients advised us the staff had always been helpful, polite, respectful and sensitive towards them and they said they had confidence in the skills and expertise of staff.

We received the following comments from the patients, "The standard of cleanliness is very good." ”I can ask what I want, I’m really happy with the way staff assist and help.’’ ‘’The dentist is very good with the children and gives advice and free toothbrushes!’’

One patient told us they were never rushed with their appointment and their examination was conducted in private. Patients told us their treatment options were explained fully to them, so they were able to make informed decisions about which treatments were best for them and decide on the treatment they would prefer. Patients confirmed they received thorough examinations and were provided with dental advice.

We found staff were trained and supported to carry out their work at the surgery.

We saw there were systems in place to monitor and further develop the practice to help ensure the best outcome for people using the practice.
