Smile Works, Carlton Chambers in short

Smile Works, Carlton Chambers is the Wellington arm of a two-practice Telford group promising quick treatment for dental emergencies. Smile Works, Carlton Chambers suits urgent care on Queen Street in Wellington, with the group's general, cosmetic and NHS dentistry range behind it. The group covers both Telford sites behind its urgent route. Our verdict is that its town-centre position is its main draw.

Patient reviews give the practice 4.9 on Google. The running company dates to 2009 and the CQC registers the Carlton Chambers practice. What counts against it is paperwork: no insurance wording and no treatment prices appear on the homepage, though a dental plan and finance are mentioned for ongoing care. Either site suits a first urgent visit close to home.
