Fast, Reliable Care When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies can be painful, worrying and disruptive when they happen. You may need clear advice and prompt care from an experienced dentist.
At Start Smiling, we provide emergency dental appointments to help relieve pain, assess the problem and get you comfortable as quickly as possible.
What Is Emergency Dentistry?
Emergency dentistry focuses on urgent dental problems that require prompt assessment and treatment.
This may include:
- Severe toothache or pain
- Swelling or infection
- Broken, chipped or cracked teeth
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Dental trauma or injury
- Sudden sensitivity or discomfort
Our priority is to provide urgent dental care, relieve pain, address the cause and stabilise the situation.

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.

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.
