Preview Your Planned Smile
01
A trial smile can provide an indicative preview of the planned changes before treatment, helping you discuss the design before deciding whether to proceed.
Conservative Cosmetic Options For Village Residents
SmileFast at Start Smiling offers a conservative cosmetic route for people from Blackmore, combining digital smile planning, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations so you can review a proposed look before treatment while prioritising preservation of natural tooth structure where appropriate.
Private SmileFast For Patients From Blackmore
We provide SmileFast as a private treatment from our practice in Ingatestone, explaining costs and options clearly before any work starts; SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth and total cost depends on the individual plan.
The approach focuses on careful planning, clear communication and conservative composite restorations performed according to an agreed digital design and preview of the planned smile.
Suitability is assessed case by case, and many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the number of teeth involved, complexity and any preparatory care.

Is SmileFast Right For You?
SmileFast can be suitable for people seeking cosmetic improvement while prioritising preservation of their natural teeth, particularly for concerns such as uneven shape, mild wear, chips or asymmetry affecting the visible front teeth.
Suitability depends on the condition of teeth and gums, bite, oral health, habits and personal goals, and active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or complex alignment problems may mean we stabilise oral health or recommend an alternative treatment first.
Where appropriate SmileFast may be combined with whitening, teeth straightening or other cosmetic treatment to achieve the desired result, and we will explain expected stages and any preparatory care so you can make an informed choice.
