Most people wish for perfect teeth, but the realities of everyday lifestyle habits, genetics, and accidents often get in the 
way of the perfect smile. If you are not happy with what you see when you smile in the mirror or in pictures, rest assured that you are not alone. Studies have found that a smile makeover is at the top of the list for most people. The good news is that there have never been more opportunities to correct dental damage and imperfections. Dr. Joseph Sachs and Dr. Robert Cruz, dentists in Chelsea New York, NY, offer a range of cosmetic and restorative dental services.
Get a New and Improved Smile with Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for transforming a dull, damaged, or unattractive smile. They are custom designed to look and feel like natural tooth enamel so that your smile is instantly transformed. A razor-thin layer of porcelain is bonded to the surface of the tooth and molded into the desired shape.
Porcelain veneers are a great option for several cosmetic issues including:
- Chips and cracks
- Close gaps and spacing (if you have a bite or alignment issue you may need orthodontic treatment)
- Change the size, color, or shape of uneven or cosmetically unattractive teeth
- Cover permanent stains and discolorations that form at the dentin layer and can't be removed with surface whitening treatments
How Long do Veneers Last?
Caring for your veneers requires good oral hygiene and regular preventive dental treatment, just like your natural teeth. The average life span of a porcelain veneer is five to ten years, but they can last for much longer in many cases.
