Is SmileFast Right For You?
Suitability for SmileFast depends on a clinical assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, habits and cosmetic goals. It may be considered for worn, chipped or uneven teeth where careful composite restoration can achieve the desired aesthetic while aiming to conserve tooth tissue.
Active decay, untreated gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or complex alignment issues may mean we recommend stabilising oral health or discussing alternative treatments first. Teeth straightening or other options may be considered alongside SmileFast where alignment or occlusion affects the planned result.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on how many teeth are involved and the level of preparation required, but the exact number of visits will be confirmed after assessment and planning for your individual case.
