8th September 2015 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of this service on 04 June 2015 as part of our regulatory functions. A breach of legal requirements was found. After the comprehensive inspection, the practice wrote to us to say what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to the breach.
We undertook this focused inspection on 08 September 2015 to check that they had followed their plan and to confirm that they now met legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to those requirements.

4th June 2015 - During a routine inspection
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection on 04 June 2015 to ask the practice the following key questions; Are services safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led?
Karia Dental – Welling is located in the London Borough of Bexley. The premises consist of seven treatment rooms, two dedicated decontamination areas and an X-ray room. There are also toilet facilities, a waiting room, a reception area and an administrative office.
The practice provides NHS and private dental services and treats both adults and children. The practice offers a range of dental services including routine examinations and treatment, veneers, crowns and bridges, tooth whitening and oral hygiene.
The staff structure of the practice is comprised of a principal dentist (who is also the owner), eight dentists, seven dental nurses, three hygienists, a practice manager, three receptionists, and one trainee dental nurse. There is also a visiting oral surgeon providing treatment at the practice.
The practice is open Monday to Friday from 8.00am to 5.30pm and on Saturday from 9.00am to 1.00pm.
The principal dentist is the registered manager. A registered manager is a person who is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the practice is run.
This practice was last inspected by CQC in April 2012 and met the required standards at that time. We carried out a new, announced, comprehensive inspection on 04 June 2015. The inspection took place over one day and was carried out by a CQC inspector and dentist specialist advisor.
We received 25 CQC comment cards completed by patients and spoke with two patients in the waiting area. Patients we spoke with, and those who completed comment cards, were positive about the care they received from the practice. They were complimentary about the friendly and caring attitude of the dental staff.
We found that this practice was providing safe, effective, caring, and responsive care in accordance with the relevant regulations. However we found that this practice was not providing well-led care in accordance with the relevant regulations.
