During a routine inspection
People told us that they had confidence in the staff and they were well cared for during their visit. One person told us: 'It's one of the best dentists I've been too.' Another explained: 'He tells you to put your hand up if you're not happy and he will stop. He talks to you and puts you at ease, he is excellent.'
We were told that the staff were well trained and records showed that the relevant training had taken place. This ensured that the staff were knowledgeable and experienced and worked in line with best practice.
People told us that they found the practice and treatment rooms to be clean and tidy and confirmed that the dentist and the dental nurses wore protective clothing when providing treatment. One person told us; 'They wear gloves and masks and get me to wear a bib and glasses.'
A range of audits had been carried out to ensure that systems were working effectively within the practice and the practice manager was in the process of developing these further to ensure that a quality service was provided.
