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 in Ingatestone offers digital smile planning and conservative composite restorations for adults across Essex, including communities around London Stansted Airport; we use the airport only as a geographic reference and there is no affiliation or special travel arrangement implied.
SmileFast is a cosmetic dentistry system focused on careful digital planning and minimal tooth preparation where suitable. At Start Smiling we use digital smile design and an indicative trial smile before any SmileFast composite restorations are placed, aiming to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible depending on your teeth and plan.
Suitability depends on the condition of your teeth, gums and bite. Active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or complex alignment issues may need stabilising or an alternative approach before SmileFast proceeds. Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on complexity and the number of teeth involved, but we never promise this for an individual case.
SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth; total cost depends on the case and is explained before treatment. All assessments, plans and cost explanations are provided at consultation so you can make an informed decision about whether SmileFast is right for you.

SmileFast may suit adults with worn, chipped or uneven teeth who want improvements in shape, colour or symmetry using a conservative approach. It is not automatically appropriate for everyone and requires a full assessment of oral health, bite and personal goals.
If you have active decay, untreated gum disease, significant bite problems, heavy wear or complex alignment concerns we will discuss stabilising measures or alternative treatments first. Whitening and teeth straightening may be discussed as part of a wider cosmetic plan where appropriate, depending on your individual circumstances.
We focus on giving you clear information about likely steps, costs and maintenance so you can choose the pathway that fits your aims and clinical needs.
