A trial smile can provide an indicative preview of the planned changes before treatment, helping you discuss the design before deciding whether to proceed.
Suitability And Smile Assessment
SmileFast at Start Smiling begins with a careful suitability assessment to see whether the system can meet your cosmetic goals; if you live in Harold Wood we welcome you to our Ingatestone practice to discuss how digital smile planning and an indicative trial smile might show expected changes before any treatment.
Private SmileFast For Patients From Harold Wood
Start Smiling is a private practice based in Ingatestone and welcomes patients from Harold Wood seeking conservative cosmetic improvements with SmileFast; suitability depends on your teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and goals and is confirmed during assessment.
SmileFast combines digital smile design, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations aimed at preserving natural tooth structure where suitable, and SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth, with the total cost explained before you commit.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the number of teeth involved and any preparatory care required, and we always explain alternatives and the expected course of treatment so you can make an informed choice.

What To Expect During SmileFast Treatment
01
Consultation And Smile Assessment
We review your goals, examine your teeth, gums and bite and discuss whether SmileFast is suitable given your oral health and habits.
02
Digital Smile Design
A digital plan maps the proposed changes and is discussed with you so you understand the intended outcome before treatment.
03
Trial Smile
An indicative trial smile gives a preview of the planned appearance so you can decide whether to proceed; it is an indicative preview and not a guaranteed final result.
04
Preparatory Or Related Care If Needed
If there is active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or complex alignment, stabilising care or an alternative treatment may be recommended before SmileFast.
05
SmileFast Composite Treatment
Composite restorations are completed according to the agreed plan with an emphasis on conserving tooth structure where appropriate.
06
Review And Aftercare
We schedule reviews, provide maintenance advice and recommend polishing or repairs as needed to help maintain your smile over time.
Is SmileFast Right For You?
SmileFast may suit people whose main concerns are tooth shape, colour or symmetry and those with worn, chipped or uneven teeth who want a conservative composite option; suitability can only be confirmed by a full assessment of teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and goals.
If your mouth shows active decay, gum disease, significant bite problems, heavy wear or complex alignment, we will discuss stabilising treatments or alternatives such as composite bonding, composite veneers, porcelain veneers or teeth straightening so you have a clear, realistic plan.
We aim to present the expected course of treatment, likely appointment pattern and the balance of risks and benefits so you can make an informed choice about whether SmileFast is the best route for your cosmetic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
SmileFast is a system that combines digital smile planning, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations; it may be considered alongside composite bonding or porcelain veneers depending on suitability rather than being described as superior.
SmileFast emphasises minimal tooth preparation where suitable, but the amount of preparation depends on the condition and position of your teeth and is determined during assessment and planning.
With good care and regular maintenance results can last for many years, although composite may need polishing, repair or refreshing over time; routine reviews and advice on avoiding staining or chipping are part of aftercare.
An indicative trial smile gives an early visual preview of the proposed changes based on the digital plan so you can assess the intended look before agreeing to composite treatment; it is not a guaranteed exact final result.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the number of teeth involved, complexity and whether any preparatory care is required; your personalised plan will outline the expected timetable.
SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth at Start Smiling; the total cost depends on your individual case and will be explained in full before any treatment is agreed.
