Kenilworth Dental Practice has been found to be upholding all elements of customer care following a routine inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The Station Road dentists was described as "clean and well-maintained" with well-trained staff who made sure "patients were treated with dignity and respect".

In all five areas of care - safety, effectiveness, care, responsiveness and leadership - the practice was rated highly.

The report, which was published in December, also said "staff felt involved, supported and worked as a team".

"There was strong leadership with emphasis on peoples' safety and continually striving to improve," the report added. 

"Systems and processes were embedded, and staff worked together in such a way that the inspection did not highlight any significant issues or omissions."

The inspection - the first at Kenilworth Dental Practice in over a decade - did find some areas for improvement.

Inspectors said infection control procedures needed to be corrected, as did the way NHS prescription pads were used and monitored.
