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.
If you live or work in the wider Brentwood area and are exploring cosmetic options, Start Smiling in Ingatestone offers SmileFast as a planning-led cosmetic system for adults that uses digital smile design, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations where suitable; suitability is assessed case by case and treatment costs start from £400 per tooth.
Start Smiling Dental Practice is a private practice based in Ingatestone and welcomes adults from the wider Brentwood area for SmileFast consultations and treatment planning. We do not imply any affiliation or relationship with Brentwood School.
SmileFast combines digital design and an indicative trial smile before any composite restorations are placed, and the team will explain alternatives such as composite bonding, composite veneers or porcelain veneers when clinically appropriate.
Suitability depends on teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and goals. Active decay, untreated gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or complex alignment issues may mean stabilising oral health or considering another treatment first.

How SmileFast can help when a conservative cosmetic approach is appropriate
A trial smile can provide an indicative preview of the planned changes before treatment, helping you discuss the design before deciding whether to proceed.
Composite restorations can alter tooth contours to create more balanced shapes where appropriate.
Composite work can help with shade and visual uniformity and whitening may be discussed as part of a wider cosmetic plan.
Conservative composite can rebuild small chips and restore natural-looking tooth form where suitable.
Adjusted shape and proportion can improve left-right symmetry for a more harmonious smile.
SmileFast can improve the appearance of mildly uneven front teeth without orthodontics in some cases.
The system focuses on careful planning and aims to preserve as much natural tooth as possible depending on the plan.
Digital planning, an indicative trial smile and staged composite restorations provide a defined approach from assessment to aftercare.
Costs start from £400 per tooth and total fees are confirmed in a written treatment plan after assessment.
We explain goals, options and likely outcomes in plain terms so you can make an informed decision.
Detailed digital design shows proposed changes before any irreversible treatment is considered.
Where suitable, SmileFast aims to minimise tooth preparation and preserve natural structure.
You receive written cost guidance and a treatment plan that sets out likely fees and steps.
Follow-up reviews and maintenance advice help you care for composite restorations over time.

An initial consultation reviews your goals, oral health and suitability for SmileFast and explains alternatives and likely costs.

An indicative trial smile provides a preview of planned changes before any composite restorations are placed.
Related care such as fillings, gum treatment or referral for orthodontic assessment may be recommended before cosmetic work if required.
Carefully placed, minimally invasive composite restorations are completed according to the agreed plan when clinically suitable.
Follow-up appointments and ongoing maintenance advice are provided, including polishing, repairs or refresh options as needed.
SmileFast may suit adults seeking aesthetic improvements for worn, chipped or uneven front teeth where a conservative composite approach is appropriate. Determining suitability requires a clinical assessment of teeth, gums, bite and habits so we can identify whether SmileFast or another option is the best choice.
Active decay, untreated gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment issues may need stabilising care or consideration of alternative treatments first. The team will discuss realistic outcomes, potential limitations and whether whitening or teeth straightening should be considered as part of a wider cosmetic plan.
