For New Yorkers, life never stops, but occasionally you seek downtime or relaxation amid the chaos you love. Some people, however, fully inhabit their stress, not because of the work they do or the obligations they have, but because of their constant worry about how they look. Specifically, they worry about how their teeth look. You can find calm within the noise with a customized smile makeover.
The oldest millennials are just shy of 40 years old. With age does not always come wisdom, however.

If these trends continue, serious smile makeovers and even full-mouth reconstruction are in millennials’ futures.

If you act, is your smile ready for your big show?
