COVID-19 outbreak
To all our valued patient

I sincerely hope at this unprecedented time that you and your families are healthy and safe.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak we are currently unable to work as normal following the latest guidelines from the Chief Dental Officer and the Government guidelines on social distancing.

Therefore, effective from tomorrow, we will be postponing and rearranging all dentistry.

This is a not a decision ‘we have taken lightly but we feel it is our responsibility to protect you, our valued patients, our team and our families.

The reasoning for this is primarily to reduce transmission and to reduce use of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is required by our hospitals at this crucial time.

If you have a dental emergency, please email us on Info@Start-Smiling.Co.Uk where a member of our team can provide advice.

** PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE AT THE PRACTICE UNANNOUNCED AS WE WILL NOT BE OPEN **

We understand this is inconvenient and it may mean that treatment timelines are extended. In almost all instances delaying any elective dentistry will be inconsequential and we will be able to catch-up with implant work, cosmetic treatment, tooth straightening, gum health and restorative dentistry when it is safe to do so. If you are at all concerned about any treatment that you may be in the middle of then. Please do not hesitate to contact the team via email.

Video consultations will be available at request and please rest-assured that we will still be accessible via email for any support or advice. Please email or message us and a member of the Start Smiling team will be in touch as soon as possible.

We will review the situation over the next weeks/months and let you know as the advice changes.

A huge heartfelt thank you to all our patients and to the Start Smiling Team for standing-up and supporting each other as a community during these uncertain times.

Stay safe and we hope to see you all soon.

Amazing! I've had my teeth cleaned by Alison for over 5 years now, she makes you feel so comfortable and goes through all the steps during the clean. Exceptional service and always gives good oral hygiene self care advice to keep your teeth clean in-between visits. Also, Dr Tom’s knowledge and expertise is outstanding! I highly recommend Start Smiling for keeping your teeth in perfect condition.

Sophie Allaker

The practice is friendly spotless inviting and relaxing. The dental treatment is pain free and very high standards of practice. The hygienist is particularly specialised in techniques to keep teeth looking and feeling good with top tips for between appointments Highly recommend these services and this practice. xxxx

Ellie King

Dr Tom Sealey replaced my old upper veneers and did a first-class job. Dr Tom addressed my concerns honestly and in detail when responding to my emails and during my consultations. Dr Tom works meticulously every step of the way, and I am delighted with the final result. Kudos to Simon (the technician) for my natural-looking veneers. Dr Tom and Simon collaborated closely to create my perfect smile. I am also grateful to the dental nurses, practice manager and friendly receptionists. Thanks to the dental hygienists, I have learnt how to take better care of my oral health. Start Smiling provide an all-round top quality service and experience.

Christina Neofytou

I have been going to start smiling for more than 10 and had mainly required the hygienist and checkups. Unfortunately I had a serious accident and damaged my teeth and gums to such an extent that I required a lot of dental work that was ongoing for over a year. This work was carried out by Tony and he had to reconstruct my gums which included a graft. I also required a brace and veneers. During this time I had regular visits with Alison who has guided me through my oral hygiene. I am a very nervous patient but every visit to Start Smiling was totally pain free and all the staff were kind and caring. I cannot thank everyone enough at Start Smiling for giving me back my smile and confidence.

Claire Waters

OMG cannot believe how lucky I have been to find Tom and his colleagues - I am a very very nervous patient, I have been terrified of the dentist all of my life, to the detriment of my teeth. I heard about START SMILING through a friend as I was at my wits end and needed loads of work done.I have just finished a six month programme with the team which included crowns, bridges braces and Veneers!!!!! I had sedation for some of the lengthy appointments which the practise organised fo me. Every single member of the team from receptionists to my amazing dentist TOM were so kind and patient with me and literally called me the next day after every appointment to make sure I was OK. My fear of the dentist is definitely subsiding and I feel confident to now keep up hygienist and prevention appointments which is something I haven't done for over 40 years. Oh....and nearly forgot my smile looks FAB xxxx so thankyou so much to everyone at Start Smiling.

Jo Mclean

I have recently moved into the area and was recommended to get in contact with Start Smiling. I only joined them a month ago but have nothing but positive things to say. Tony and his colleagues are a very friendly team and you feel at ease when in the practice. They are very thorough and provide and fantastic service throughout. I have recently had some composite bonging work and whitening treatment with my teeth and have been exceptionally happy with the results. In turn, I have recommended my wife and some friends to join up! Terry Farr, Mountnessing

Terry Farr

Amazing team lead by a very skillful cosmetic dentist and supported by a friendly and welcoming reception staff . A sterling service all around from an award winning practice. Thank you

Hosam Elmanharawy

If like me you’re a nervous patient, then this is the dental practice for you.All of the staff are so kind and friendly. Pam on reception always welcomes you like a old friend.Tony my dentist is very gentle and patient and Natalie and Ciara the higenest are always so kind and ensure treatment is carried out at my pace and in a pain free manor.My teeth have never looked and felt this good.

George Harvey

At age 54 it was a daunting prospect to decide to have a brace fitted! I’ve been unhappy with my smile for years and was recommended this practice by a friend and I could not be happier with the service and treatment I have received. Tom and his team made me feel at ease and have now given me the smile I’ve always wanted! All the staff always make you feel welcome and are always on hand to answer any questions you may have.Needless to say I would highly recommend this practice particularly if you are like me a little nervous of the dentist chair! After my final appointment lasting 3 1/2 hours yesterday which was completely pain free I feel I can cope with anything dentist related from now on! Thank you to Start Smiling!

Debbie Muldoon

I cannot begin to explain how pleased I am with the outcome of my personalised treatment plan carried out by the team at Start Smiling. I am more confident, smile more, am willing to have more photos taken and am proud to share the journey with whoever will listen! The comments from family and friends make every hurdle worth it and when I see my teeth in the mirror I still have to remind myself…they are mine! Previous experiences had left me extremely nervous about having dentistry work done; the thought of surgery, needles, an implant, veneers and braces (again) filled me with horror. However, I can honestly say, with the support of all of the team, I really should not have worried anywhere near as much as I initially did. Dr Tony and Kira were amazing and were there for me with whatever I needed to know, including follow up calls after appointments. I had received some great work done by Tony in another surgery several years ago and I trusted him, so I found his new practice online and travelled 20 miles each way because I knew that the level of service would be nothing but excellent! Every step of the journey was explained, before during and after. I would say the conversations were transparent and this reduced my anxiety about the treatment I was having. The office staff were also brilliant, a massive thanks to Pam and all the others in offering support, at times even sitting with me before or in between treatments to reassure me. My major phobia is of needles; however, this was not a problem as Tony offered me a numbing agent, which meant I experienced no pain during injections and therefore no longer had to worry about this. The whole practice has such a family feel and many of the team know my first name, something you do not often get these days, this all added to the personalised touch that was given at Start Smiling. A massive thank you to you all for going above and beyond at every point in the journey.Tom Lawson

P Lawson

Always been a nervous patient at the dentist - due to bad experiences in the past. However, just finished having my implant by Dr.Tony and I'mthrilled with the result. He is the best dentist I've ever had and I can't praise him enough. I felt relaxed and totally at ease and no pain at all. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and Pam on the desk is super.Highly recommended.

Sue & Chris

I attended start smiling last year and could not be happier with the treatment I received, I’m so happy with my results I will never go elsewhere! Highly recommend!

clare hughes

I have always been petrified of going to the dentist and avoided going for years, then finally, I plucked up the courage. I came to Start Smiling as had been recommended. I am so pleased I did, I have been seeing Tony and his team who completely put me at ease and been very patient. Tony has completely transformed my smile, I now have lovely straight gleaming teeth and I am no longer nervous. Pam on reception is also very lovely. I 100% recommend Start Smiling Ingayestone.

Whether you see Tom or Tony you will be in safe hands. Both are exceptional, highly skilled and knowledgeable dentists. The practice is very well run with a friendly support team. I have no hesitation in giving this surgery a worthy 5* rating.

Nicky Wright

Lovely practice with a welcoming feel. The staff make me feel at ease which helps as I can be a nervous patient. The staff are always ready to go the extra mile which makes them worth the price and top ratings.

lana wright

I have recently visited Start Smiling for my regular hygienist appointment and as always left the surgery with not only clean teeth but the reassurance that I’m being given the best advice possible to help keep my teeth and gums healthy. Being a Diabetic it’s important I look after my gums as well as myself and feel the whole team at Start smiling are fully trained in giving me as much help and information as possible. The whole team at Start Smiling are very friendly and will always go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and at ease. The tv to watch whilst having treatment makes it even more relaxing. Keep up the good work guys and I can’t wait for my next appointment. 😁 Peter

Peter Simmonds

Had my teeth cleaned recently by Alison the hygienist. Not only did my teeth feel amazing afterwards, she also went the extra mile to really explain to me what I could do to improve my oral health. An all round enjoyable (and painfree!) dental experience - will definitely be returning!

Esther Brown

At start smiling the practice is always welcoming and comforting. Staff members are always helpful, in particular Kira Edwards who always has the nicest smile and friendly face. The practise is very highly thought of and I would highly recommend.

Hayley Lee

First class treatment from a lovely team of people. They make you feel so welcome and the practice has a nice homely feel, not cold and clinical like some practices I have been to

Dr Tom is by far the best dentist I’ve ever had! He did great work on my smile ahead of my wedding last year (straightened, whitened and shaped) and now I won’t go anywhere else. The hygienists are also fab!

Katie Brazier

After years of being unhappy with my smile I decided to look into options for improvement. After several consultations and different treatment options I underwent a full Smile Makeover. The process was quick and completely painless at every stage, and the care I received was excellent. I was, and still am, over the moon with the results. The team at Start Smiling are very knowlegeable and caring, and their aim is to give first class service to every single person who walks through the door. I highly recommend the practice to anyone who may either be looking for general treatment or more extensive work. You could not be in better hands!

Linda Wright

Very professional and friendly practice - all of the staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at ease. Dr Tom is excellent. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Will Steed

I have been going to Start Smiling for a number of years and cannot recommend Dr Tom, Dr Tony and the rest of the team highly enough. I have received a complete smile makeover, which over the course of a year involved straightening, shaping and whitening my teeth. This process involved multiple visits, and I like many people am not the biggest fan of dental visits, but the entire experience at Start Smiling was superb from start to finish. The facilities are excellent, and the team show a genuine passion for what they do.I now have the confidence to 'start smiling', and am extremely grateful for their services!:)

Excellent customer service. Really friendly team. I was a very nervous patient but I was put at ease from the moment I walked in. It was the most pleasurable dental experience I have had in years. Would definitely recommend!

Elaine Bhurtun

I have never been the biggest fan of visiting the dentist, but Start Smiling have completely changed this! Tom and the entire team are so welcoming and friendly and really help put you at ease! The practice itself is modern and fresh and doesn't feel like your typical "dentist"! I would even go as far as saying i'm looking forward to my next appointment! 🙂

Nicola

I recently had treatment for a dark dead tooth and have had 2 bridges inserted either side at the top as I had 2 teeth missing at the sides . I have been conscious of smiling for 5 years and now I am smiling all the time! I am so happy with the results it is amazing and Tony and the staff were all fantastic . I can’t thank them enough �

Amanda Jane Dobinson

I have recently finished my treatment with Tony and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I found Tony to be very understanding of what I wanted to achieve and I honestly felt like he wanted the best result for me too. I had a brace when I was younger but I still never had the smile I wanted, so after a recommendation from a colleague I went to see Tony to see what could be done. I had the C-fast braces and couldn’t believe how quickly my teeth straightened, my bottom brace came off after 4 months and my top after 6 months! We then started the whitening treatment for a few weeks before finishing off with some composite bonding on some of my front teeth. Not only Tony but all of the other staff at start-smiling who were involved in my journey, were always so personable and welcoming, I cannot thank the team enjoy. If it isn’t already obvious, I highly recommend anyone who is unhappy with their smile to visit the practice �

Hanna Louise Belle

As a very nervous patient I have had to have some extensive treatment but I cannot believe how relaxed and confident I now feel, no longer do I dread appointments. This is such a well qualified and up to date practice and every member of the team is so kind and supportive. I have just completed one of my twice a year hygienist appointments and their brand new system for cleaning was amazing, total comfort and superb results.

Steve Parker

Dr Tom saved me back in May when I had horrendous pain coming from a back tooth! I had an emergency root canal with him and was pain free straight away! I’ve been back twice since, for my 2nd and today my 3rd stage and every time has been so lovely and more importantly pain free! Aftercare and professionalism is above and beyond! Look forward to returning in the near future! Have been and will continue to be highly recommending to family & friends �

Lucy Hallett

I had fantastic service from the moment I arrived! I had fairly extensive work done and was entirely painless, and I couldn't of been happier with the results.

Tom Trask

I am a nervous patient. Had 2 dental implants placed with Dr Tony and found the whole experience and support from the team to be very professional. No pain the next day and have been very happy with all the treatment since.

Always been a nervous patient at the dentist - due to bad experiences in the past. However, just finished having my implant by Dr.Tony and I'mthrilled with the result. He is the best dentist I've ever had and I can't praise him enough. I felt relaxed and totally at ease and no pain at all. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and Pam on the desk is super.Highly recommended.

Dr Tom is by far the best dentist I’ve ever had! He did great work on my smile ahead of my wedding last year (straightened, whitened and shaped) and now I won’t go anywhere else. The hygienists are also fab!

Always been petrified of going to the dentist and avoided going for years, then finally, I plucked up the courage. I came to Start Smiling as had been recommended. I am so pleased I did, I have been seeing Tony and his team who completely put me at ease and been very patient. Tony has completely transformed my smile, I now have lovely straight gleaming teeth and I am no longer nervous. Pam on reception is also very lovely. I 100% recommend Start Smiling Ingayestone.

I have recently visited Start Smiling for my regular hygienist appointment and as always left the surgery with not only clean teeth but the reassurance that I’m being given the best advice possible to help keep my teeth and gums healthy. Being a Diabetic it’s important I look after my gums as well as myself and feel the whole team at Start smiling are fully trained in giving me as much help and information as possible. The whole team at Start Smiling are very friendly and will always go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and at ease. The tv to watch whilst having treatment makes it even more relaxing. Keep up the good work guys and I can’t wait for my next appointment. 😁 Peter

Had my teeth cleaned recently by Alison the hygienist. Not only did my teeth feel amazing afterwards, she also went the extra mile to really explain to me what I could do to improve my oral health. An all round enjoyable (and painfree!) dental experience - will definitely be returning!

After years of being unhappy with my smile I decided to look into options for improvement. After several consultations and different treatment options I underwent a full Smile Makeover. The process was quick and completely painless at every stage, and the care I received was excellent. I was, and still am, over the moon with the results. The team at Start Smiling are very knowlegeable and caring, and their aim is to give first class service to every single person who walks through the door. I highly recommend the practice to anyone who may either be looking for general treatment or more extensive work. You could not be in better hands!

I have been going to Start Smiling for a number of years and cannot recommend Dr Tom, Dr Tony and the rest of the team highly enough. I have received a complete smile makeover, which over the course of a year involved straightening, shaping and whitening my teeth. This process involved multiple visits, and I like many people am not the biggest fan of dental visits, but the entire experience at Start Smiling was superb from start to finish. The facilities are excellent, and the team show a genuine passion for what they do.I now have the confidence to 'start smiling', and am extremely grateful for their services!:)

I have never been the biggest fan of visiting the dentist, but Start Smiling have completely changed this! Tom and the entire team are so welcoming and friendly and really help put you at ease! The practice itself is modern and fresh and doesn't feel like your typical "dentist"! I would even go as far as saying i'm looking forward to my next appointment! 🙂

As a very nervous patient I have had to have some extensive treatment but I cannot believe how relaxed and confident I now feel, no longer do I dread appointments. This is such a well qualified and up to date practice and every member of the team is so kind and supportive. I have just completed one of my twice a year hygienist appointments and their brand new system for cleaning was amazing, total comfort and superb results.

At age 54 it was a daunting prospect to decide to have a brace fitted! I’ve been unhappy with my smile for years and was recommended this practice by a friend and I could not be happier with the service and treatment I have received. Tom and his team made me feel at ease and have now given me the smile I’ve always wanted! All the staff always make you feel welcome and are always on hand to answer any questions you may have.Needless to say I would highly recommend this practice particularly if you are like me a little nervous of the dentist chair! After my final appointment lasting 3 1/2 hours yesterday which was completely pain free I feel I can cope with anything dentist related from now on! Thank you to Start Smiling!

20:24 15 Oct 18

I recently had treatment for a dark dead tooth and have had 2 bridges inserted either side at the top as I had 2 teeth missing at the sides . I have been conscious of smiling for 5 years and now I am smiling all the time! I am so happy with the results it is amazing and Tony and the staff were all fantastic . I can’t thank them enough �

Hanna Louise Belle

11:43 08 Aug 18

I have recently finished my treatment with Tony and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I found Tony to be very understanding of what I wanted to achieve and I honestly felt like he wanted the best result for me too. I had a brace when I was younger but I still never had the smile I wanted, so after a recommendation from a colleague I went to see Tony to see what could be done. I had the C-fast braces and couldn’t believe how quickly my teeth straightened, my bottom brace came off after 4 months and my top after 6 months! We then started the whitening treatment for a few weeks before finishing off with some composite bonding on some of my front teeth. Not only Tony but all of the other staff at start-smiling who were involved in my journey, were always so personable and welcoming, I cannot thank the team enjoy. If it isn’t already obvious, I highly recommend anyone who is unhappy with their smile to visit the practice �

13:51 19 Jul 18

Dr Tom saved me back in May when I had horrendous pain coming from a back tooth! I had an emergency root canal with him and was pain free straight away! I’ve been back twice since, for my 2nd and today my 3rd stage and every time has been so lovely and more importantly pain free! Aftercare and professionalism is above and beyond! Look forward to returning in the near future! Have been and will continue to be highly recommending to family & friends �
