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 is a cosmetic dentistry system focused on smile design, careful planning and minimal tooth preparation where suitable; Start Smiling Dental Practice is based in Ingatestone and welcomes enquiries from adults in the wider Southend-on-Sea area around Southend Pier, a long-established seaside landmark often described as the world’s longest pleasure pier, mentioned here only for local context.
SmileFast combines digital smile planning, an indicative trial smile before treatment and minimally invasive composite restorations to enhance tooth shape, colour or symmetry while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible where suitable.
Treatment at Start Smiling follows the SmileFast pathway of consultation and smile assessment, digital design, a trial smile, composite treatment and review. SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth; total cost depends on your plan and is explained before any treatment proceeds.
