SmileFast may be combined with whitening or teeth straightening where appropriate, discussed as part of the overall plan.

Is SmileFast Right For You?
SmileFast may suit adults seeking conservative, planned improvement for concerns such as worn, chipped or uneven teeth, or those wanting improved symmetry or minor colour adjustments as part of a wider cosmetic plan. Suitability depends on a clinical assessment of your teeth, gums and bite together with your goals and habits.
Active decay, gum disease, significant bite issues, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment problems may need stabilising care or alternative treatment before SmileFast is appropriate. Where whitening or straightening are relevant these may be discussed as part of an overall plan and sometimes combined with SmileFast.
