SmileFast Cosmetic Planning
SmileFast at Start Smiling provides conservative cosmetic planning using digital smile design and an indicative trial smile for adults based around the A127 (Essex) area; Start Smiling is based in Ingatestone and will assess your teeth, gums, bite, oral health and goals to determine whether minimally invasive composite restorations are suitable.
Private SmileFast Treatment Near A127 (Essex)
Start Smiling offers SmileFast as a private cosmetic option from the Ingatestone practice. The pathway begins with a consultation and smile assessment, followed by digital smile planning and an indicative trial smile so you can see a proposed change before any composite work is carried out. Treatment uses minimally invasive composite restorations where suitable.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the teeth involved, complexity and any required preparation, but this cannot be promised for any individual. SmileFast treatment at Start Smiling starts from £400 per tooth; total cost depends on the number of teeth and the individual plan and will be explained before treatment proceeds.

Is SmileFast Right For You?
Suitability for SmileFast depends on a full clinical assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, oral health, personal habits and aesthetic goals. SmileFast may be appropriate for adults with worn, chipped or uneven teeth who want cosmetic improvement while aiming to preserve natural tooth structure.
SmileFast is not suitable for every situation. Active decay, untreated gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment problems may mean that stabilising oral health or considering another treatment is advised first.
Where alignment or whitening could affect the planned outcome, these options may be discussed as part of the wider cosmetic plan. The practice will explain alternative restorative options such as composite veneers or porcelain veneers when clinically appropriate so you can make an informed choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
SmileFast combines digital smile planning and an indicative trial smile with minimally invasive composite restorations; it may be considered alongside composite bonding, composite veneers and porcelain veneers, and the best option depends on the teeth involved and clinical needs.
