Correct All Your Smile Woes in One Fell Swoop
Veneers were originally created to help movie stars’ smiles shine on the silver screen. Today, we use veneers all the time to help people just like you shine in every aspect of your life. Veneers are now a wildly popular cosmetic solution that can correct any number of smile imperfections in a single treatment.
Whether your smile is suffering from chips, cracks, stains, or minor alignment issues, veneers have you covered. Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored porcelain bonded to the visible surface of the teeth. Some preparation of the natural teeth is necessary to make room for them, so veneers are a permanent decision, but we’re sure you’ll be thrilled with your results. They’re even more stain resistant than natural teeth!
Veneers Can Correct
- Chipped, cracked, broken teeth
- Stained, yellow, discolored teeth
- Unevenly shaped or sized teeth
- Minor spacing or alignment issues
- Single problem tooth
- Full mouth restoration
Are Veneers Right for Me?
If you’re living with a number of cosmetic grievances but don’t want to endure a number of different cosmetic treatments like restorative work, whitening, and orthodontics, veneers might be just the comprehensive solution you need. If you have a single problem tooth, we can secure a single veneer to perfectly match the shade and translucency of your natural teeth. If you want a complete smile makeover, we can give you a brand-new beautiful smile with a full set. The only way to know for sure is to come see Dr. Davis for a consultation.
Light Up Your Life with Teeth Whitening
Yellowing teeth are an unfortunate fact of life as we age and expedited by some of our favorite vices. Any coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco users out there? It’s no wonder yellowing and discoloration is the largest cosmetic dental concern for most people—and thank heavens for teeth whitening!
With so many DIY teeth whitening products on the market today, you may wonder why anyone would pay for a professional whitening treatment. The reason is the same we pay professionals to color our hair or change our oil. You may be able to do it yourself successfully, but it’s best to leave it up to the professionals. Only a professional whitening treatment can provide the most dramatic results with minimal sensitivity.
Fun Facts About Teeth Whitening
- Americans spend nearly $2 billion annually on teeth whitening
- The key to the success is the delivery method (custom trays are best)
- Whitening does not damage your enamel
- Some sensitivity following treatment is normal
- White teeth increase your likelihood of landing a second date or job interview
What are my options?
At Gracious Smiles, we’re here to serve the needs of our patients. That’s why we’re happy to offer in-office bleaching if you prefer to see dramatic results in a single treatment, as well as take-home kits if you prefer to whiten gradually on your own time at home. We can create a set of custom trays to fit your mouth and ensure the best results.
Perfect Your Smile with a Little Bonding

Why bonding?
Bonding is a simple, noninvasive alternative to more involved treatments that correct the same and more expansive issues. Instead of removing healthy tooth structure to place a crown on a broken tooth, we can use bonding to rebuild what was lost. Rather than paying more for teeth whitening or veneers, bonding can cover up stains to whiten teeth. For minor alignment issues, we can use bonding to even things out rather than having to resort to orthodontics. Bonding is quick, easy, and affordable—and can be completed in a single visit.
Bonding Solutions
- Build out chips & broken teeth
- Cover cracks & breakage
- Hide stains & discoloration
- Fill in gaps & spaces
- Correct minor alignment issues
- Create uniformity on uneven teeth
Concerned about the cost of treatment?
We’re happy to offer flexible financing options.
We know affordability is one of the biggest barriers standing in the way of people getting the dental care they need, particularly for cosmetic treatments that may be elective. We understand and we want to help you feel better—that’s why we’re happy to accept most major insurance providers and offer an in-house membership plan as well as flexible financing options to help you fit the treatment you need into your budget. Get in touch with your Waterville cosmetic dentist, Dr. April Davis, today to get started on your dream smile. A simple phone call might just change your life—are you ready?
