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 at Start Smiling is a conservative cosmetic dentistry pathway offered from our Ingatestone practice and is described here for adults based around The Sandon School in the Chelmsford area; it uses digital smile design, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations to plan improvements while aiming to preserve natural tooth structure where suitable.

The SmileFast pathway combines digital planning, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations. Suitability is confirmed after assessment of teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and your cosmetic goals. Related or preparatory care may be needed before SmileFast depending on assessment.
Treatment at Start Smiling follows a clear plan and cost estimate explained during consultation. SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth, with final cost dependent on the specific case and agreed plan.

How SmileFast can support a conservative cosmetic plan
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 may help restore or reshape worn, chipped or uneven teeth while aiming to preserve natural tooth structure where suitable.
Treatments can address minor colour or symmetry concerns as part of a combined cosmetic plan where appropriate.
The approach focuses on minimal tooth preparation where suitable to conserve enamel and dentine when clinically appropriate.
Digital smile design is used to plan the proposed outcome and refine expectations with you before treatment.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the teeth involved and complexity.
SmileFast may be combined with whitening or teeth straightening where appropriate, discussed as part of the overall plan.
Composite restorations can last for many years with good care but may need polishing, repair or refreshing over time.
We will explain options, likely outcomes and costs clearly so you can decide whether SmileFast fits your aims.
A conservative-care-first mindset aims to preserve natural tooth structure where suitable.
Digital smile design and an indicative trial smile help set realistic expectations before treatment.
SmileFast is provided as a private cosmetic pathway with treatment plans and costs explained in advance.
Treatment starts from £400 per tooth and final prices are based on the agreed clinical plan.
We provide review appointments and tailored maintenance advice to support long-term results.
Suitability is determined by clinical assessment of teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and goals.
An initial assessment reviews oral health, your cosmetic goals and determines whether SmileFast is appropriate for you.
Digital planning is used to design proposed changes and help you and the clinician agree on likely outcomes.
An indicative trial smile provides a visual preview to refine the design before any composite restorations are placed.
Any needed preparatory treatment such as stabilising decay or gum disease will be scheduled before cosmetic work when required.
Minimally invasive composite restorations are placed according to the agreed SmileFast plan and clinical judgement.
We provide follow-up reviews, maintenance advice and support for polishing or repairs as needed over time.
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.
