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.
A Digitally Planned Route To Cosmetic Change
If you live in Shenfield (CM15) and are considering cosmetic improvements, SmileFast at Start Smiling offers a digitally planned route from our Ingatestone practice that uses digital smile planning and an indicative trial smile to preview intended changes before any minimally invasive composite restorations.
Private SmileFast For Patients From Shenfield
Start Smiling provides private SmileFast consultations at our Ingatestone practice where we discuss goals, check oral health and explain how a digital plan and an indicative trial smile can help set expectations before any composite restorations are placed.
SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth and the total cost depends on your individual case; we will explain likely options and fees before any treatment so you can decide with clear information.

Shade planning within the SmileFast process can be used to improve the apparent colour of teeth where appropriate.
Correct Symmetry

Digital design aims to create better balance and harmony between teeth as part of the planned outcome.
Repair Chips And Wear

SmileFast may be considered for worn, chipped or uneven teeth as a conservative restorative approach where suitable.
Minimise Tooth Preparation

The system emphasises planning and minimal tooth preparation where this is appropriate for the individual case.
Alternative To Veneers

SmileFast may be considered alongside composite bonding, composite veneers or porcelain veneers without a blanket superiority claim.

Preparatory Or Related Care If Needed

05
SmileFast Composite Treatment
Composite restorations are placed in line with the agreed digital plan, with the level of preparation depending on your teeth and goals.
06
Review And Aftercare
We schedule reviews, provide maintenance advice and offer follow-up care to help manage staining, chips or wear over time.
Is SmileFast Right For You?
Suitability for SmileFast depends on the condition of your teeth and gums, your bite, oral habits and your cosmetic aims; a full assessment is required to agree whether this approach is appropriate.
In some cases active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment problems mean we need to stabilise oral health or consider another treatment first, and we will explain these options during assessment.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the number of teeth involved, complexity and any preparatory work, but the final schedule is personalised and confirmed after examination and discussion.
Supporting Dental Care At Start Smiling
Care that can support SmileFast results includes routine prevention, complementary cosmetic steps and protective advice.
Regular hygiene appointments and check-ups help maintain gum and tooth health before and after cosmetic work.
Tooth whitening options can be discussed to complement composite restorations where appropriate.
Teeth straightening treatments may be considered alongside or before cosmetic planning depending on your needs.
Porcelain veneers and other restorative options are available as alternatives where SmileFast may not be suitable.
Night-guard advice and provision can help protect restorations for patients who grind or clench.
Maintenance reviews and polishing help manage staining, chips or wear and support longer-lasting results.

An indicative trial smile provides a preview of the planned changes so you can see the intended direction before any composite restorations are placed; it is a guide and not a guaranteed exact final appearance.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the number of teeth involved, complexity and any preparatory care needed, but timing is confirmed after clinical assessment.
