Set to shine

The Start-Smiling private practice, based in Ingatestone, Essex, has been acquired by Thomas Sealey and Tony Aneiros and is now set for further expansion.

The practice, which has operated in the area for more than 30 years, offers a wide range of general and cosmetic dentistry services.

The new partners, both former NHS dentists, have a passion for cosmetic dentistry and are trained in a number of advanced dental treatments including endodontics and implantology.

Thomas commented: "Having trained and worked in the NHS for a number of years, both myself and Tony thought it was now the right time to concentrate on private practice with a view to further developing our careers.

“Over the last couple of years, we’ve conducted an extensive search for the right practice and one which fits with our ambitions. Start-Smiling is extremely well-established in the local community and has a well-trained, highly-motivated staff.

“In the short-term, our aim will be to innovate and further enhance the high quality service the practice already offer our patients. Currently, around 30 per cent of our available surgery time is not being used and we plan to utilise that by extending our opening hours into two late evenings per week.
