During a routine inspection

People told us that staff explained all the procedures and treatments to them and respected their decisions about their treatment and care. Comments included; 'He [dentist] has always explained everything to me in detail. I am quite a nervous patient and these explanations helped to keep me calm. He takes his time and never rushes me' and 'I knew exactly what was happening, the costs were explained and I signed a treatment plan, agreeing to the treatment.'

People who used the service told us they were happy with the care and treatment they received at the practice. One person said, "All the staff here are very friendly and professional; I wouldn't go anywhere else,' and 'I trust the dentist, I find the staff friendly and the atmosphere is always relaxed and happy when I visit.'

The provider had an effective recruitment and selection procedure in place to ensure that staff were appropriately employed.

We found people received care and treatment in a clean environment with infection control measures in place to minimise the risk of infection. People we spoke with told us the practice was always clean and tidy.

The provider had an appropriate system in place for gathering, recording and evaluating information about the quality and safety of care the service provided. People who used the service were asked for their views about their care and treatment.
