Preview Your Planned Smile
A trial smile can provide an indicative preview of the planned changes before treatment, helping you discuss the design before deciding whether to proceed.
SmileFast is a cosmetic dentistry system that focuses on smile design, careful planning and minimal tooth preparation where suitable; it combines digital smile planning, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations. Start Smiling Dental Practice is based in Ingatestone and welcomes suitable adults from the wider Essex area, including those based around the A12 (Essex).
Start Smiling offers SmileFast as a private cosmetic option for adults seeking conservative, planned smile enhancement. Treatment is personalised and follows an assessment of teeth, gums and the bite to confirm suitability and to identify any necessary preparatory care.
The SmileFast pathway at the practice begins with a consultation and smile assessment, proceeds through digital smile design and an indicative trial smile, and, where appropriate, continues to minimally invasive composite restorations with review and aftercare. Related care may be recommended before cosmetic work where clinically needed.
Costs for SmileFast at Start Smiling start from £400 per tooth; a clear written treatment plan and full cost explanation are provided before any treatment proceeds.

SmileFast focuses on preserving natural tooth structure where clinically suitable using minimally invasive composite restorations.
Composite restorations can help improve tooth shape and balance to create a more harmonious smile appearance.
Composite materials can be used to repair worn or chipped teeth as part of a planned cosmetic approach.
Tooth colour may be adjusted as part of the overall planning process where appropriate and acceptable for your case.
SmileFast may be combined with whitening or teeth straightening where these are clinically appropriate within the cosmetic plan.
Treatment is tailored to your teeth, gums, bite, habits and aesthetic goals following an initial assessment.
Aftercare includes review appointments, maintenance advice and options for polishing or repair as needed over time.
SmileFast is one of several cosmetic options; your clinician will discuss alternatives such as composite bonding or porcelain veneers where appropriate.
We explain goals, options and likely outcomes clearly so you can make an informed decision.
Digital smile design helps show proposed changes before any restorative work is started.
The approach emphasises preserving natural tooth structure where this is clinically suitable.
You will receive a written treatment plan and full cost breakdown before any treatment begins.
Review appointments and maintenance guidance are part of the routine pathway.
Careful assessment determines whether SmileFast or another treatment is the most appropriate option for you.
We assess teeth, gums, bite, habits and aesthetic goals to confirm suitability and identify any necessary preparatory care.
Photographs and digital tools are used to design proposed changes and to discuss options with you.
An indicative trial smile is provided so you and the clinician can review and refine the proposed appearance; it is a guide rather than a guaranteed final result.
Active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns or other stabilising care may be required before cosmetic treatment proceeds.
Where appropriate and agreed in the plan, minimally invasive composite restorations are placed following the design.
Follow-up reviews, maintenance advice and polishing or repairs are provided as part of ongoing care to support long-term results.
SmileFast may be appropriate for adults seeking conservative cosmetic improvement, particularly for worn, chipped or uneven teeth and for modest changes in shape, colour or symmetry. Suitability depends on a clinical assessment of teeth, gums and the bite as well as your habits and aesthetic goals.
Active decay, untreated gum disease, significant bite problems, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment issues may require stabilising dental care or consideration of alternative treatments before cosmetic work is considered. In some situations, other options such as composite bonding, composite veneers or porcelain veneers may be discussed where clinically appropriate.
The process begins with a consultation and smile assessment so the team can recommend a safe, realistic plan that aligns with your oral health and goals. Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the teeth involved and any preparatory care, but individual plans vary.

Related dental care is provided to support cosmetic planning and to stabilise oral health when needed.
Routine check-ups to monitor oral health before and after cosmetic work.
Hygiene appointments to maintain gums and teeth for any restorative plan.
Conservative restorative dentistry to address decay or damaged teeth before cosmetic treatment.

Periodontal care where gum health needs stabilising prior to aesthetic work.
Discussion of teeth straightening where alignment concerns affect cosmetic planning.
Whitening may be discussed as part of a wider cosmetic plan where clinically appropriate.
