Dental Arts - Harrogate Also known as Ace Denta Ltd

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this on-site, announced assessment on 24 July 2024. We found the practice had not met all regulations. The practice did not have systems to manage risks. Recruitment procedures did not reflect current legislation. Medicines and prescriptions were not managed in line with current guidance. Leadership was ineffective and there was no culture of continuous improvement. However, infection control procedures followed published guidance and patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance. Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required. Dental Arts is in Harrogate and provides private dental care and treatment for adults and children. At the time of our assessment, the dental team included 2 dentists, 1 dental nurse, and a visiting dentist who attends occasionally to place dental implants. The practice had 2 treatment rooms. During the assessment we spoke with 1 dentist and 2 dental nurses. The provider was not complying with all of the regulations. Full details of the regulations the provider was not meeting are within the quality statement section of the report. In instances where CQC have decided to take civil or criminal enforcement action against a provider, we will publish this information on our website after any representations and/or appeals have been concluded. We have served the provider with a warning notice in response to the concerns found at this assessment.
