During a routine inspection
The practice had a contract with the National Health Service (NHS) to provide NHS dental care to people. People could choose to pay for private treatment which was outside the agreed treatments of the NHS.
People who used the service told us they were treated with respect and were fully involved in discussions about and planning for their treatment. People could consider their treatment options and any costs involved and did not have to make a decision immediately.
We spoke with four people who used the service and they were all complimentary about the treatment and support they received. One person said, "I've always been very happy with what they've done".
The service had a system in place to ensure appropriate levels of cleanliness and hygiene for the premises and equipment.
Accurate records were maintained both for people who used the service and regarding the running and maintenance of the service.
