Private SmileFast For Patients From Writtle
Start Smiling Dental Practice is based in Ingatestone and offers SmileFast as a private cosmetic option for people living in and around Writtle; we do not have a branch in Writtle, and all consultations, digital planning and treatment take place at our Ingatestone practice.
At your first private appointment we discuss goals, perform a clinical assessment and show a digital preview and the indicative trial smile so you can make an informed choice before any treatment is proposed. SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth and total cost depends on the individual plan, which we explain clearly before treatment.
How SmileFast Can Help
SmileFast brings together planning and minimally invasive restorations so you can preview likely results early in the process.
Improve Tooth Shape
02
Composite restorations can alter the apparent shape of worn, chipped or uneven teeth as part of the planned design.
Improve Tooth Colour
03
Composite materials can be matched to a preferred shade to help teeth appear whiter within the planned smile design.
Enhance Symmetry
04
Digital planning and composite restorations can address asymmetry to create a more harmonious appearance across visible teeth.
Repair Worn Or Chipped Teeth
05
SmileFast may be considered for teeth affected by wear or minor chipping when restorative updates are clinically appropriate.
Minimise Tooth Preparation Where Suitable
06
The system aims to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible, depending on the teeth and agreed treatment plan.
Compare Treatment Options
07
SmileFast can be considered alongside composite bonding, composite veneers or porcelain veneers without implying superiority.
Combine With Other Cosmetic Care
08
SmileFast may be combined with whitening, teeth straightening or other cosmetic treatments where appropriate and depending on your goals.

Is SmileFast Right For You?
SmileFast may suit people who want a preview-led cosmetic option to address shape, colour or symmetry concerns and who value an approach that aims to preserve tooth structure where appropriate. The digital preview and trial smile help you decide whether the proposed changes meet your expectations before restorative work begins.
Suitability depends on a full assessment of teeth, gums, bite, oral health, habits and personal goals; active decay, gum disease, significant bite concerns, heavy wear or complex alignment issues can mean stabilising oral health or an alternative treatment is recommended first.
Composite restorations require ongoing care and can need polishing, repair or refreshing over time, so final plans include a discussion of expected maintenance, hygiene advice and any recommendations such as night-guard provision where grinding or clenching is relevant.

Other care we provide to support cosmetic results includes routine maintenance, <a href="https://www.start-smiling.co.uk/treatments/teeth-whitening" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="underline hover:text-blue-600">whitening</a> and restorative options.
Regular hygiene visits and routine check-ups to maintain oral health and support cosmetic work.
Tooth whitening as an option to complement the planned SmileFast design where appropriate.
Teeth straightening when alignment changes are required before cosmetic restorations.
Porcelain veneers offered as an alternative where composite may not be the best option.
Night-guard advice and provision where grinding or clenching is identified to protect restorations.
Scheduled maintenance reviews to keep composite restorations performing and looking their best.

Frequently Asked Questions
SmileFast is a cosmetic dentistry system that combines digital smile planning, an indicative trial smile and minimally invasive composite restorations to enhance tooth shape, colour or symmetry while aiming to preserve natural tooth structure where suitable.
SmileFast aims to minimise tooth preparation where suitable, but some preparation may be necessary depending on the condition of the teeth and the agreed treatment plan, with suitability determined during assessment and planning.
With good care and regular maintenance, results can last for many years, although composite restorations can need polishing, repair or refreshing over time and benefit from hygiene advice, regular check-ups and maintenance reviews.
An indicative trial smile is a preview of the proposed aesthetic changes so you can judge the likely appearance before restoration; it is a guide to inform decisions and not a guaranteed exact match to the final result.
Many suitable cases can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the number of teeth involved, complexity and any preparatory care required, though this varies by individual and is not guaranteed for every case.
SmileFast treatment starts from £400 per tooth and total cost depends on your individual plan and number of teeth involved; we explain pricing clearly before any treatment is agreed.
