S Leigh Dental Surgery

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this announced on-site assessment on 25 September 2024. We found the practice had met regulations. The practice had systems to manage risks and infection control procedures were in place. 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. Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. S Leigh Dental Surgery is in Darlington and provides NHS and private dental care and treatment for adults and children. There was step-free access at the rear of the practice and car parking spaces were available near the practice. The practice had 6 treatment rooms, 2 of which have just been built and are not yet in use. During the assessment we spoke with 4 dentists, 2 dental nurses, and the practice manager.
