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 brings digital smile planning, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations to people from Hornchurch who want a carefully planned cosmetic option; our Ingatestone team welcomes enquiries and explains the pathway clearly before any treatment.
Start Smiling is an independent private dental practice in Ingatestone and we welcome patients from Hornchurch for SmileFast planning and treatment. SmileFast combines digital smile design, an indicative trial smile and conservative composite restorations with the aim of enhancing the smile while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible depending on your teeth and agreed plan.
Treatment follows a structured pathway of assessment, digital design, the indicative trial smile and composite work where appropriate, with review and aftercare included. SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth and the full cost for your plan is explained in writing before any work begins.

SmileFast brings specific practical benefits for suitable 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 reshape and refine individual teeth to create a more balanced appearance where suitable.
Composite work can be used to harmonise visible tooth colour as part of the planned smile.
Targeted changes can improve left-right symmetry and the overall evenness of the smile line.
SmileFast may be used to restore worn or chipped edges conservatively where appropriate.
The system emphasises minimal tooth preparation where suitable to preserve natural enamel and tooth structure.
SmileFast may be combined with whitening, teeth straightening or other cosmetic care where appropriate depending on your goals.
Digital planning and the trial smile help you and the team agree the intended outcome before any composite restorations are placed.
The trial smile is an indicative preview and does not guarantee an exact final appearance; suitability is confirmed during assessment.
We use photographs and planning tools so you can see a proposed design that guides any composite work.
Plans emphasise preserving natural tooth structure and applying minimally invasive composite techniques where appropriate.
Costs and the proposed plan are explained in writing before any treatment begins, including the starting price per tooth.
We discuss likely outcomes, limitations and maintenance needs so you can make an informed decision.
Follow-up appointments and maintenance advice are built into the pathway to help preserve results.
Start Smiling aims to provide a calm and approachable environment for private cosmetic consultations and treatment.
A clinician assesses your teeth, gums, bite, habits and aesthetic goals to check SmileFast suitability and discuss options.
Photographs and planning tools are used to create a proposed smile design that guides the trial and any restorative work.
An indicative trial smile is provided so you can preview proposed shape and proportion before any restorations are placed.
If necessary, stabilising oral health issues or arranging related dental care is completed before cosmetic restorations are undertaken.
Composite restorations are applied according to the agreed plan, using a conservative approach where appropriate; many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on complexity.
We schedule follow-up to check the restorations, provide maintenance advice and arrange any polishing or refinements required over time.
SmileFast may suit people who want to improve tooth shape, colour or symmetry, or to address worn, chipped or uneven front teeth with a conservative composite approach. Whether SmileFast is appropriate depends on a full assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and aesthetic goals rather than a fixed recommendation.
Active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment issues can mean stabilising oral health or considering another treatment before SmileFast. If you grind or clench, we will assess whether night-guard advice or other measures are needed as part of the plan.
Because SmileFast combines digital planning with an indicative trial smile, it helps people make informed choices about composite restorations and whether this conservative option fits their expectations and oral requirements.

Complementary care and maintenance options support SmileFast outcomes.
Regular hygiene appointments and routine dental check-ups help support oral health and maintenance of composite work.
Tooth whitening can be considered alongside SmileFast where appropriate to harmonise shade choices during planning.
Teeth straightening options may be discussed when alignment improvements are part of the agreed plan.

Porcelain veneers or other restorative treatments can be offered as alternative options when suitable for different goals.
Night-guard advice and provision are available if grinding or clenching is relevant to the planned restorations.
Scheduled maintenance and review visits are part of ongoing care to help prolong the appearance and function of composite restorations.
