Groundbreaking SmileFast Treatment in Solihull

Most modern dental treatments use dental anaesthetic, meaning there’s no pain during the procedure. You may get some slight sensitivity afterwards, lasting a few days, and your dentist will talk you through all of this beforehand.

It’s recommended, to keep the process as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Your dentist will always check with you beforehand and discuss any concerns.

After a smile makeover, a soft diet is advised for around 2 weeks. Avoid beetroot, turmeric and red wine, and be cautious with hard foods like apples or pizza crust — if it would stain a white T-shirt, it’s likely to stain your veneers.

Composite smile makeovers are generally cheaper than ceramic. Prices vary depending on how many teeth are treated and the complexity, starting from £1,500 for 4 teeth using the SmileFast Direct composite system.

Generally 4 appointments. SmileFast uses 3D-augmented technology to design your bespoke smile from your first consultation, then manufactures a ‘stent’ so you can trial your new smile before any further decisions.

Routine check-ups twice yearly, and at least 3 hygienist visits a year to keep your new smile professionally cared for. A night guard may also be advised to protect against night-time grinding.

Depending on severity, a composite veneer can often be re-mended; a broken ceramic veneer usually needs replacing. Additional repair or replacement is charged separately.

Minimal, gentle surface preparation is normal for both composite and ceramic veneers, and is safe and predictable with modern techniques.

Veneers are thin covers made from ceramic or composite material, placed over your natural teeth to enhance shape, colour and size for a fuller, whiter, more balanced smile.

Composite is a resin reinforced with glass particles, more affordable and requiring minimal tooth preparation. Ceramic is a glass-like material made in a dental laboratory, stronger and longer-lasting, and better suited to more complex cases — but more costly.
