Preview Your Planned Smile
01
A trial smile can provide an indicative preview of the planned changes before treatment, helping you discuss the design before deciding whether to proceed.
Suitability-Led SmileFast Consultations
SmileFast offers a suitability-first approach to cosmetic change, combining digital smile planning and an indicative trial smile to help you and the clinician decide whether conservative composite restorations are appropriate; if you live in Wickford, Start Smiling provides consultations and treatment from our Ingatestone practice where we assess teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and goals.
Private SmileFast For Patients From Wickford
If you are considering cosmetic improvement from Wickford, Start Smiling is based in Ingatestone and offers SmileFast assessments and treatment at that practice; we focus on clear discussion of goals, realistic previews and conservative composite options so you can make an informed choice before any restoration is started.
Suitability is determined by a clinical assessment and planning. Where SmileFast is suitable we use digital design and an indicative trial smile to guide minimal tooth preparation where appropriate, and we will explain alternatives and any preparatory care needed before treatment proceeds.
How SmileFast Can Help
SmileFast combines planning, an indicative preview and minimally invasive composite restorations to enhance tooth shape, colour or symmetry.
Improve Tooth Shape

Composite restorations can be used to adjust the shape of worn, chipped or irregular teeth where appropriate.
Enhance Colour
03
Composite materials may be selected to improve tooth colour as part of the planned smile design.
Correct Symmetry
04
Digital planning aims to bring better balance between left and right tooth appearance in the agreed design.
Repair Chips And Wear
05
SmileFast may be considered for worn, chipped or uneven teeth as part of a conservative cosmetic plan.
Conserve Natural Tooth
06
The system focuses on minimal tooth preparation where suitable to preserve natural tooth structure.
Compare Treatment Options
07
SmileFast may be considered alongside composite or porcelain veneers so you can compare outcomes and maintenance.
Combine With Other Treatments
08
SmileFast may be combined with whitening, teeth straightening or other cosmetic care where appropriate and agreed during planning.
The trial smile is an indicative preview to inform decisions rather than a guaranteed final appearance.

Is SmileFast Right For You?
SmileFast may be a good option if your main concerns relate to tooth shape, colour or symmetry, including worn, chipped or uneven teeth, and if you prefer a conservative composite approach evaluated through planning and a trial smile.
Deciding suitability requires a professional assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, overall oral health and habits such as grinding, together with a clear discussion of what you hope to achieve.
Active decay, gum disease, significant bite problems, heavy tooth wear or complex alignment issues can mean that stabilising oral health or considering an alternative treatment is necessary before SmileFast is appropriate.
