Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone. Our specialists use advanced imaging and guided surgery for precise placement. Patients benefit from restored chewing function, natural aesthetics, and long-term oral health improvements.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments utilise custom trays and medical-grade gels for safe, effective stain removal. We offer take-home kits supervised by dentists to ensure optimal results without enamel damage. Patients achieve visibly whiter smiles in 2-4 weeks with lasting effects.
SmileFast
SmileFast corrects chipped, gapped, or misshapen teeth using tooth-coloured composite resin. This non-invasive technique reshapes teeth in a single visit without drilling. Results mimic natural enamel texture and translucency for immediate aesthetic enhancement.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns restore damaged teeth while bridges replace consecutive missing teeth. We use durable ceramic materials matching natural tooth colour. These fixed prosthetics improve bite alignment, prevent adjacent teeth movement, and maintain facial structure.
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring addresses uneven gum lines using laser technology for precision. This procedure enhances smile aesthetics and treats gummy smiles. Recovery involves minimal discomfort with visible results apparent within weeks.

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 !

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!
