4th April 2018 - During a routine inspection
![]() We carried out this announced inspection on 4 April 2018 under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. We planned the inspection to check whether the registered provider was meeting the legal requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated regulations. The inspection was led by a CQC inspector who was supported by a specialist dental adviser.
To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we always ask the following five questions:
• Is it safe?
• Is it effective?
• Is it caring?
• Is it responsive to people’s needs?
• Is it well-led?
These questions form the framework for the areas we look at during the inspection.

![]() Patients and visitors to the practice were treated with dignity and respect. Reception staff were professional, efficient and pleasant in their interactions with patients. We spoke with three patients and one carer. The carer told us that she was given sufficient information of the treatment required to explain this to her client who she said was "treated kindly by caring staff". The other patients told us that changing dentists within the practice hadn't been a problem. We were told by one service user that he had been coming to the practice for 35 years and now all his family came. He said he was "very happy and had recommended the practice to lots of people".
