Private dental practices

We inspect private dental practices to check people are receiving good care.

How we inspect

We look at how private dental practices:

Our inspections of private dental practices are usually announced. Services usually receive up to twelve weeks notice of an inspection.

Our inspections are carried out by a HIW inspector and an external reviewer (a dentist) who has recent experience of working within dentistry.

The findings from our inspections are published to our website.

If you would like a copy of our inspection workbook please contact HIW.Inspections@gov.wales quoting which type of inspection workbook you require.
