Fewer Appointments For Many Cases

Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on complexity and preparation, but this cannot be guaranteed for every patient.
Aftercare can include polishing, repairs and maintenance advice to support long-term results; composite restorations may need attention over time.

What To Expect During SmileFast Treatment
01
Consultation And Smile Assessment
A clinician reviews your goals, oral health and suitability for SmileFast; assessment considers teeth, gums, bite, habits and any preparatory needs.
02
Digital Smile Design
Photos and scans are used to plan proposed changes and create the basis for an indicative trial smile and the composite restorations.
03
Trial Smile
An indicative trial smile provides a preview to discuss shape and appearance before committing to the chosen restorations; it is an indicative preview, not a guaranteed final result.
04
Preparatory Or Related Care If Needed
Where active decay, gum disease, significant bite issues, heavy wear or other concerns are present, stabilising oral health or alternative treatments may be recommended first.
05
SmileFast Composite Treatment
Conservative composite restorations are placed according to the agreed plan, with care taken to preserve natural tooth structure where suitable.
06
Review And Aftercare
Follow-up appointments cover maintenance advice, hygiene support and any polishing or minor repairs needed to support long-term results.
Is SmileFast Right For You?
Suitability for SmileFast is determined by a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and cosmetic goals. For people with healthy teeth and gums, or where issues can be stabilised, SmileFast’s digital planning and conservative composite restorations may address shape, colour and minor symmetry concerns.
SmileFast may not be appropriate if you have active decay, untreated gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment problems; these issues often require stabilising care or alternative treatments first. The trial smile is an indicative preview to help refine the plan rather than a guaranteed exact outcome.
If SmileFast is suitable, your plan may include complementary care such as whitening or tooth straightening where that better meets your goals, and we will explain maintenance needs including hygiene, reviews and advice on habits that affect longevity.
