We spoke with two people on the day of our visit, who were both complimentary about the care that they received at Tangmere Dental Centre. Patients told us that they were involved in decisions that were made about their care. They said that they understood the choices available to them because the dentists at the practice took time to explain treatments to them.

One patient said, "The staff here are great, wonderful, the best place I have ever been". Another patient said, "The treatment is good here. The dentist is helpful and considerate".

We found that the practice provided clear information for people to make informed choices about their care. We found that the practice had clear procedures to ensure that people's safety and welfare were protected.

We found that the practice took infection control seriously and that people were cared for by staff that were trained and supported to provide good care. We also found that the practice had procedures in place to monitor and ensure that the quality of the service that people were receiving was of a good standard.
