Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with custom crowns for natural-looking results. Our team uses advanced imaging to ensure precise placement, restoring both function and aesthetics. Patients benefit from improved confidence and oral health, with implants designed to last decades.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers address discoloured, chipped, or misaligned teeth through thin, durable shells bonded to the tooth surface. This cosmetic treatment delivers a flawless appearance while maintaining tooth strength. Patients enjoy stain resistance and a natural finish for long-term satisfaction.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening utilises high-strength bleaching gels to remove stains and brighten smiles safely. Custom trays ensure even application, with results visible within weeks. Patients receive aftercare advice to maintain their enhanced appearance and prevent future discolouration.
Orthodontics
Clear aligners and fixed braces correct misalignment, improving bite function and aesthetics. Treatment plans are tailored to each patient's needs, with options for discreet correction. Improved oral hygiene and reduced wear on teeth are additional long-term benefits.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dental services address sudden pain, trauma, or infections with prompt diagnosis and treatment. Our team prioritises same-day appointments to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications. Services include repairs for broken teeth, abscess drainage, and temporary restorations.

5 stars for Alison. Always so lovely (given that I am dental phobic) knows exactly how to manage me and lets me know every step of the way. My teeth feel amazing and squeaky clean;) Thank you.

From contacting them to getting my teeth sorted they've been amazing. Can't recommend the team enough, they take being professional to another level. Would highly recommend this company, I'm just glad I now have a dentist I can trust and who are filled with genuinely nice people. Thanks all once again

Absolutely fantastic experience going to see Tom and team. I have always disliked my teeth after having an accident and reconstruction when i was a teenager. 20 years later this was the best decision i have ever made. The attention to detail has been truly amazing and every single person in the practice makes you feel welcome and comfortable. Today was my final appointment after 12 months of work and i couldn't be happier. I work with children and families and now have the confidence to be smiling and talking without the need to try and hide my teeth.

Absolutely amazing dentist, I rung them up in the morning in a dramatic flap. They booked me in that day and helped me in every way they could. Best dentist I have ever had experience with. Happy I found them and very happy to have registered with them to be a patient!

Dr Tony did a fantastic job of composite bonding and gum contouring for me. All staff were helpful and polite during every visit I made. I would definitely recommend this dentist.

I contacted Start Smiling as I wanted to close the gaps on my teeth. From beginning to end the experience was professional, painless and the whole place had a real family vibe. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, my teeth are unbelievably better and look amazing! Special mention to Rhonda as she always went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and knew exactly what I was doing if I had any questions. Have recommended to friends who have also had the same treatments and they are just as happy! Only place to go if you want the perfect smile!
