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 at Start Smiling gives Basildon residents a digital preview of planned cosmetic changes and a conservative approach to care, using digital smile planning and an indicative trial smile to help you understand potential outcomes before any restorative work is agreed.
If you live in Basildon and are considering cosmetic improvement, you can book a private SmileFast consultation at Start Smiling in Ingatestone to explore whether this planning-led approach suits your goals.
The consultation and smile assessment include digital smile design and an indicative trial smile so you can preview proposed changes to shape, colour or symmetry before deciding on treatment, and we will discuss how much natural tooth structure might be preserved.
SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth and total cost varies by case; pricing and the likely plan are explained clearly before any treatment proceeds.

SmileFast combines planning and minimally invasive composite work to help you consider cosmetic options carefully.
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 focuses on careful planning and minimal tooth preparation where suitable to preserve natural tooth structure when possible.
The system may be considered for teeth affected by wear, chipping or unevenness depending on your individual assessment.
Planned composite restorations can help modify the outline of front teeth to improve overall balance when appropriate.
Composite restorations may help harmonise shade differences without committing to porcelain in suitable cases.
Digital planning can help address uneven or mismatched tooth shapes to create a more balanced smile where appropriate.
SmileFast may be considered alongside composite bonding, composite veneers or porcelain veneers, with the best choice depending on your teeth and goals.
SmileFast may be combined with whitening or teeth straightening where appropriate as part of a wider treatment plan.
We explain likely outcomes and options in plain language so you can make an informed decision.
The approach prioritises preserving natural tooth tissue where suitable through careful planning and minimal preparation.
Digital smile design is used to plan proposed changes and guide discussions about shape, shade and symmetry.
You receive a visual trial smile as an indicative preview rather than a guaranteed final result.
We provide clear cost information, including the starting price per tooth, before any treatment is booked.
Aftercare guidance and scheduled reviews are part of the pathway to help maintain results over time.
A thorough assessment of your goals, teeth, gums, bite and oral health to determine suitability for SmileFast.
We use digital planning to propose changes to shape, colour and symmetry and to create a clear treatment plan.
An indicative trial smile is provided so you can preview the planned look before deciding; it is intended as a guide rather than a guaranteed final result.
If required, stabilising care such as treating decay or gum issues is completed before cosmetic work; this step is separate where necessary.
The agreed plan is carried out using minimally invasive composite restorations with the amount of preparation depending on the individual case.
We provide hygiene advice, maintenance checks and guidance on avoiding staining or chipping, and schedule reviews to monitor composite restorations.
SmileFast is suitable for people seeking planned cosmetic improvements while aiming to preserve natural tooth tissue where possible, but suitability is determined by a full assessment of teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and personal goals.
Active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment issues may mean we need to stabilise oral health or recommend an alternative pathway before SmileFast is appropriate.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the number of teeth involved, complexity and any preparation required, though final timings and the complete plan are confirmed during consultation and planning.
