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.
Start Smiling Dental Practice in Ingatestone offers SmileFast assessments for adults around St Martin’s School and the wider Hutton and Brentwood area, providing digital smile planning, an indicative trial smile and conservative composite restorations where clinically suitable so you can understand likely outcomes before committing to treatment.
SmileFast is a cosmetic dentistry system focused on careful smile design and minimal tooth preparation where suitable. The pathway uses digital planning, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations to enhance shape, colour or symmetry while aiming to preserve natural tooth structure depending on the teeth and the agreed plan.
At your consultation we assess teeth, gums, bite, habits and cosmetic goals to determine suitability. Active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or complex alignment issues may require stabilising care or alternative treatments before any SmileFast planning proceeds.
Pricing for SmileFast at Start Smiling starts from £400 per tooth and the total cost depends on the individual plan; we explain likely costs before any treatment begins. Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on complexity and the number of teeth involved, though individual pathways vary.
