What Our Patients Have To Say
My Dentist is Tony Aneiros, he has been my Dentist for many years. I have confidence in his skills as Dentist and he has always been very professional when caring for my teeth. He has a friendly manner and is mindful to keep the patient at ease and pain free. We recently moved and now live a long way from the surgery, but I have no intention of changing Dentist.

Turned up late for my appointment due to train issues, I was already extremely nervous but the staff were very kind and considerate. Appointment itself was fine despite my rambling on in my nervousness. Very professional service. Thank you Start Smiling I would recommend you to anyone with similar 'phobias'
Steve Franks
Patient
Bradley the Hygienist is very considerate as I really don’t like the process but I know it’s necessary. I would recommend him if you are a nervous patient.

Patient
We’ve had such a great experience with Tony, the orthodontist treating my son. His teeth are coming along beautifully and we’re so pleased with the progress. Tracey on reception and the nurse are both absolutely lovely — always welcoming, kind, and they truly go above and beyond. The whole team makes every visit a positive experience. I would highly recommend.

Great practice, very friendly, high quality of dental care from Dr Tom Sealey and his colleagues. Just had a brace fitted and it was carried out very quickly with no discomfort. I have been going for 10 years or so. Thoroughly recommend.
