Is SmileFast Right For You?
SmileFast can be suitable for adults seeking conservative cosmetic improvement of worn, chipped or uneven front teeth. It aims to help with shape, colour and symmetry using minimally invasive composite restorations alongside careful planning.
Suitability depends on a clinical assessment. Active decay, untreated gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment problems may need stabilising or an alternative approach before SmileFast is considered.
Where appropriate, whitening or tooth-straightening may be discussed as part of a wider cosmetic plan. The clinician will explain options and any preparatory steps required so you understand the recommended pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions
SmileFast combines digital smile design, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations; it may be considered alongside composite bonding, composite veneers or porcelain veneers depending on your goals and clinical findings.
Some cases require minimal preparation to optimise adhesion and aesthetics, while others can be completed with very conservative shaping; the need for preparation is determined during assessment and planning.
With good care and regular reviews, composite restorations can last for many years though they may need polishing, repair or refreshing over time; ongoing maintenance includes hygiene, reviews and advice on avoiding staining.
An indicative trial smile provides a practical preview of the planned changes using mock-up techniques and digital images so you and the clinician can assess proportions before definitive composite work.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the number of teeth and complexity, but the exact schedule depends on the bespoke plan agreed after the initial consultation.
SmileFast at Start Smiling currently starts from £400 per tooth; the total cost depends on the number of teeth treated and any preparatory care and will be explained in full before treatment begins.
