Colchester Orthodontic Centre

During an assessment under our new approach

We carried out this on-site announced assessment on 24 September 2024. We found the practice had met all regulations. Recruitment procedures reflected current legislation and there was effective leadership and a culture of continuous improvement. Patients were treated with dignity and respect and at the time of our assessment, could access care, support and treatment when required. Patients’ care and treatment was provided in line with current guidance and infection control procedures were in place. The practice had systems to manage risks. The practice is in Colchester, Essex and provides NHS and private Orthodontic care and treatment for adults and children. There was step free access to the practice and car parking spaces, including dedicated parking for disabled people, available near the practice. The practice had 3 treatment rooms including 5 orthodontic treatment chairs. During the assessment we spoke with the specialist orthodontist, 3 dental nurses including the head nurse and a dental nurse receptionist, 1 orthodontic therapist, 2 treatment coordinators and the practice manager.
