Bloom Dental (Norman Bloom's Dental Practice, London) - Listing Check: 3 Fixes Needed, CQC Entry Now Archived
Interpretation: bloomdental.com is the site of Norman Bloom's Dental Practice, 31 Queen Anne Street, London W1G 9HX, not a US practice called "Bloom Dental". The three site pages I read never use the name "Bloom Dental". I audited UK-relevant directories and treated US dental sites (Healthgrades, Zocdoc, Vitals) as not applicable. Accessed 5 October 2026.
Summary: 8 rows checked. 5 are present (Google, CQC, Dentist-London, Doctify, and the related Watford record); 4 of those have issues. 3 rows (LinkedIn, Bing/Apple, Yelp/Yell/Facebook/GoPrivate) could not be confirmed, and none is confirmed missing. The most urgent finding is that the practice's CQC location was archived on 20 July 2026, while a third-party directory still calls it "CQC Registered".
Reference record (what the website says)
- Name: Norman Bloom's Dental Practice (page logo and titles), led by Dr Norman Bloom B.D.S.(Lon), L.D.S. R.C.S.(Eng).
- Address, phone, email: 31 Queen Anne Street, London W1G 9HX; telephone 020 7580 2193; fax 020 7323 5109; [email protected].
- Services: gum disease, crowns, bridges, implants, cosmetic dentistry, children's club, sedation, private contract only.
- Legal entity: the CQC provider record is "Dr. Norman Bloom", also known as Norman Bloom & Associates - Station Square. I found no Companies House record in a web search, so the practice appears to be run by an individual (my inference, not confirmed).
Listing checklist
| # | Directory | Listed | Profile link | Issues found | Reviews | Priority | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Google Business Profile / Maps | Yes | Google Maps | Name, address W1G 9HX and phone +44 20 7580 2193 match the site. The Places API result for this listing returned no website field while a separate Watford listing carries a website. | 5.0 from 2 reviews (Exa snapshot dated 14 Sept 2026; same values returned by the Places lookup on 5 Oct 2026) | Medium | Check in the owner dashboard whether bloomdental.com is set as the website and add it if not; ask patients for more reviews. |
| 2 | CQC register (Queen Anne St) | Yes, but archived | CQC location page | Page says "This service was archived on 20 July 2026". Latest report 19 April 2023. | n/a | High | Confirm with the provider whether the archiving was intended (for example a registration change). If not, contact CQC. Tell the directories below. |
| 3 | Dentist-London.com | Yes | Profile | Listed as "N Bloom & Associates - Queen Anne Street", not the site's name; it also lists treatments such as root canal, oral surgery and dentures that the home page does not state. Shows "CQC Registered" with information verified February 2026, which conflicts with the July 2026 CQC archive. | 5.0 from 2 (Google) | High | Claim the listing, fix the name and status. |
| 4 | Doctify | Yes | Practice page | Address and name match. Shows 0 reviews. The description is generic ("hygienists, and dental nurses") and lists orthodontics, which the site does not mention. A "Manage your profile" prompt is shown, which suggests it is unclaimed (inference). | 0 | Medium | Claim it, rewrite the description from the website, remove services not offered. Also a Doctify specialist page exists (search lead only; page would not load). |
| 5 | CQC provider / Station Square (related Watford site) | Yes | Provider page | Likely same provider (CQC names the provider as also known as Station Square; the link to the Google listing is my inference), different practice: Google shows "Norman Bloom & Associates Dental surgery", 20a Station Approach, South Oxhey, +44 20 8428 6712, website oxheydental.com. Patients may confuse it with the W1 practice. | 3.9 from 91 | Low | Make sure the two practices are clearly separated in every profile; the website should say which site it covers. |
| 6 | Unclear | Personal profile of Dr Norman Bloom; company page lead | LinkedIn blocked fetching (HTTP 999), so name and details were not verified. | n/a | Low | Check the company page matches the practice, or create one. | |
| 7 | Bing Places, Apple Maps | Unclear | None found | Not checkable without a live map session. Dentist-London links an Apple Maps directions pin, which is not a business listing. | n/a | Medium | Search both maps by name and claim any listing. |
| 8 | Yelp, Yell, Facebook, GoPrivate | Unclear / not found | GoPrivate lead | One web search surfaced no Yelp or Yell page (not an exhaustive check). The site's Facebook link points to an old album.php address (not opened). GoPrivate returned HTTP 403, so the page is a search lead only. | n/a | Medium | Test the Facebook link, update or remove it, and check GoPrivate. |
Not applicable here: G2, Capterra, GetApp, Product Hunt, Crunchbase (software and startup directories), and US dental sites. I did not check Wikipedia or Wikidata, and I found no sign the practice is notable.
Top 5 fixes
- Resolve the CQC archive status (High): the regulator page now reads archived, and it feeds third-party directories.
- Correct Dentist-London.com (High): it still shows "CQC Registered" and a different practice name.
- Confirm the website field on the Google profile (Medium): the Places lookup returned phone and address but no website field (it may simply not expose it, so verify in the owner dashboard); this is the main listing patients see.
- Claim and rewrite Doctify (Medium): 0 reviews and a generic description that overstates services.
- Unify the name (Medium): the site says "Norman Bloom's Dental Practice", CQC and Dentist-London say "N Bloom & Associates". Use one trading name everywhere and add the legal name in the site footer.
Open items
- A second dentist, Christopher Parte, shares 31 Queen Anne Street; check for mixed-up reviews or phone numbers.
- Bing, Apple, Yelp, Yell, LinkedIn company page and Facebook are unconfirmed.
- The site itself looks dated (a gif logo, a personal Gmail address) and has no CQC or GDC numbers visible on the pages I read. That is a judgement for the owner, not a listing fault.
Coverage
Could not reach: LinkedIn (HTTP 999), GoPrivate (403), Doctify specialist page (empty response), queenannestsmile.com (unreachable). Priorities and fixes are recommendations for the owner to confirm. No listing was claimed or edited.
