Health & Safety

Our commitment to your safety

At Arte Dental, patient safety is the foundation upon which everything else is built. We maintain rigorous health and safety protocols that meet and exceed all regulatory requirements set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the General Dental Council (GDC).

Our infection control procedures follow the latest Department of Health guidelines (HTM 01-05). Every instrument is sterilised using Class B autoclaves, and our decontamination processes are regularly audited to ensure compliance with the highest standards.

All clinical staff receive ongoing training in infection prevention and control, medical emergencies, and safeguarding. Our practice undergoes regular risk assessments and health and safety audits.

We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and welcome inspection at any time. Our commitment to transparency means that our CQC report is available for review upon request.
