Patient safety measures

All our staff undergo yearly basic life support training and we have all necessary emergency equipment and oxygen available. We have a shock advisory defibrillator for the benefit of our patients and the local community, and our building conforms to fire safety regulations.

Disabled access

We have a ramp available on request for the main entrance of our practice, which enables access to our three ground floor surgeries.

Market leading products

The clinic only uses market leading products which are supported by extensive clinical research, data and evidence-based results. This ensures patient satisfaction and safety. We provide a full range of dental implant procedures. The majority of implants placed are from Nobel Biocare and 3i implants, who have more than 20 years of clinical evidence and documentation in this field. All restorative materials used are of the highest quality and laboratory procedures are of ‘private standard’ only.

Infection control

Infection control is of greatest importance at Mouth Matters. We have a dedicated infection control facility and operative, and comply with the latest cross infection control legislation. This is an ongoing process, with regular reviews of current good practice.

The Dental Register

Every member of our clinical staff is registered with the General Dental Council. We therefore adhere to their stringent terms and ethics of practising dentistry. Our dentists, dental therapists, hygienists and nurses at Mouth Matters continually develop and update their skills and knowledge by attending professional lectures, meetings and peer reviews on a yearly basis. This is a requirement to be able to stay listed on the dental register.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC)

The practice is registered with the CQC and therefore underlies its exacting rules and regulations. Comprehensive inspections by the CQC will determine if the services at our clinic are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. Our last inspection confirmed that Mouth Matters was found to be in full compliance with all relevant regulations.
