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 is a cosmetic dentistry system that uses digital smile planning and an indicative trial smile together with conservative composite restorations; Start Smiling Dental Practice is based in Ingatestone and provides information and private consultations for adults around Harold Wood Station and the wider Havering area.
SmileFast combines careful planning, a preview stage and minimally invasive composite work to address tooth shape, colour and symmetry where suitable. Suitability is assessed by reviewing teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and your goals so we can recommend the most appropriate pathway.
We follow the SmileFast pathway of consultation and smile assessment, digital smile design, an indicative trial smile, conservative composite treatment and review with aftercare. Treatment starts from £400 per tooth and a full written estimate is provided before any irreversible work is booked.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the teeth involved, case complexity and any preparatory care. Related or preparatory work may be recommended before cosmetic treatment to stabilise oral health where needed.

How SmileFast can address common cosmetic concerns
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 alter contours to create a more balanced appearance where clinically appropriate.
Composite can be matched and finished to improve the appearance of stained or dull tooth surfaces where suitable.
SmileFast may help rebuild minor chips and irregular edges with minimally invasive composite work.
Careful digital planning can address uneven tooth proportions to improve overall visual balance when appropriate.
SmileFast may be considered for mild to moderate wear by rebuilding affected surfaces as part of a planned approach.
SmileFast can be considered alongside whitening, teeth-straightening or other cosmetic treatments where clinically appropriate.
The system focuses on planning and minimal tooth preparation to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible where suitable.
All clinical recommendations follow an assessment of oral health and may include preparatory care where required.
We explain aims, options and costs so you can make informed choices before committing to treatment.
SmileFast uses digital smile design tools to show proposed changes visually and to support decision making.
The method emphasises minimal tooth preparation and conservative composite restorations where clinically suitable.
Published SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth and individual written estimates are provided before treatment.
We provide tailored maintenance advice and review appointments to help maintain results over time.
A careful assessment of teeth, gums and bite ensures stabilising treatment is recommended where needed before cosmetic work.
A clinician reviews your concerns, oral health and aesthetic goals to determine SmileFast suitability and any recommended preparatory care.
Digital planning is used to propose tooth shapes, proportions and an overall design that reflects your objectives.
An indicative trial smile provides a non-permanent preview of the proposed changes so you can review and agree the plan.
Where required, stabilising treatment such as treating decay, addressing gum health or discussing orthodontics is completed before cosmetic restorations.
Conservative composite restorations are applied to implement the agreed design while aiming to preserve natural tooth structure where suitable.
We review outcomes, provide maintenance guidance and schedule follow-up as appropriate to support long-term results.
Suitability for SmileFast depends on the condition of your teeth, gums and bite as well as your aesthetic goals. It may be appropriate for worn, chipped or uneven teeth where conservative composite restorations can achieve the planned result.
Active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or complex alignment issues may mean we recommend stabilising oral health or considering other treatments first. The process always begins with a detailed assessment so you understand whether SmileFast is appropriate and what other steps may be needed.
