A CQC spokesman said: “The practice appeared visibly clean, bright and clutter-free.

“Staff were polite, friendly and kind and had an excellent knowledge of their patients.

Patients commented on the caring and professional service delivered by staff who listened to their concerns.”

However Strand-Dental was told to improve sterilisation of equipment and monitoring of staff training.

A spokesman for Strand-Dental said: “We were really happy with all the positive points made. The areas for improvement highlighted by the CQC have since been fully addressed.”
