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 uses digital smile design, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations to plan cosmetic changes; we welcome adults from the Harold Wood Park area to consult about whether SmileFast could help improve tooth shape, colour or symmetry while preserving natural tooth structure where suitable.
SmileFast is a planning-led cosmetic pathway combining digital imagery, a preview stage and conservative composite work where appropriate. Suitability depends on an assessment of teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and your goals. Where preparatory care is needed we will explain options and sequencing before any cosmetic restoration.
SmileFast treatment at Start Smiling starts from £400 per tooth. Total cost varies by case and is discussed during planning so you understand likely stages, alternatives and any preparatory care required.

How SmileFast can help in simple terms
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 composite restorations can restore natural shape and reduce the visual effects of minor wear or chips where suitable.
Digital planning helps design more balanced proportions across several teeth as part of a cohesive smile proposal.
Composite can be used selectively to improve shade in targeted areas within a planned outcome.
The SmileFast pathway emphasises minimal preparation where appropriate to preserve as much enamel and tooth structure as possible.
SmileFast may be planned alongside whitening, straightening or other cosmetic work when appropriate and agreed during assessment.
Digital visuals and discussion include maintenance needs so you understand ongoing review, polishing and care.
SmileFast may be considered alongside composite bonding or porcelain veneers depending on clinical findings and personal goals.
We aim to keep explanations clear and to set realistic, planning-led expectations before any treatment proceeds.
We explain the SmileFast stages, likely costs and any preparatory care before work begins.
A trial smile is used as a planning tool so you can visualise proposed changes before committing to treatment.

An indicative trial smile is applied to preview the planned appearance and confirm the agreed design prior to final restorations.
Active decay, gum disease, heavy wear or alignment issues may require stabilising care, restorative work or referral before SmileFast is considered.
Conservative composite restorations are placed according to the agreed digital plan where clinically suitable.
Post-treatment review and maintenance advice cover hygiene, polishing, monitoring and possible future repairs or refreshes.
SmileFast may be appropriate for adults with worn, chipped or uneven teeth who want a conservatively planned improvement using composite restorations. Suitability is confirmed only after clinical assessment of teeth, gums, bite, oral health and personal goals.
Some patients will need preparatory care such as fillings or periodontal treatment, or may be advised that alignment needs addressing first. We will outline any necessary steps and alternative pathways during assessment so you can make an informed choice.
Many suitable cases can be planned and completed in one or two appointments depending on complexity and number of teeth involved, but every treatment plan is personalised and timing is explained during consultation.
