How SmileFast can assist with conservative cosmetic change
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 can be used to refine shape and create a more balanced appearance where suitable.
Composite restorations may help harmonise colour and symmetry when they are the appropriate option.
SmileFast may be considered for worn, chipped or minor defects using minimally invasive composite restorations.
The system focuses on careful planning and minimal tooth preparation where appropriate to preserve natural tooth structure.
Whitening or teeth straightening may be discussed as part of a wider cosmetic plan where clinically appropriate.
SmileFast can be considered alongside composite bonding, composite veneers and porcelain veneers depending on individual needs.
We will provide an individual cost estimate before treatment, noting SmileFast treatment can start from £400 per tooth.
We will always discuss suitability and alternatives so you can make an informed choice in a calm, confidential setting.
We explain options and expected outcomes clearly so you understand the proposed plan and alternatives.

Active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or alignment issues may require stabilising care or alternative treatment before cosmetic work.

Follow-up appointments cover polishing, repairs if needed, maintenance advice and regular reviews to help protect your restorations.

If you have active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or complex alignment issues, we may recommend stabilising care or alternative treatments first.
