Are there any precautions I need to take if I were to get veneers? For instance, like not eating hard foods, or hot/cold foods? Are veneers hard to break? If I accidentally bang my tooth with a spoon will a crack easily? Whomever answers, THANKS FOR ANSWERING :)
The "state-of-the-art" porcelain veneer systems are as durable as real teeth! You wouldn't want to bang your real teeth with a spoon, nor would you want to chew on ice cubes, or bones, etc with your real teeth. Anything that can break, fracture or chip a real tooth, can break, fracture or chip a porcelain veneer. If veneers are done precisely, and within the proper occlusal guidelines (the way your upper and lower teeth bite into each other) of your situation, they should be as durable as your real teeth.
Both lateral teeth grew in with white spots and now as an adult are much more stained than the other teeth. One of the lateral teeth has had a root canal and 3 or 4 sessions of internal bleaching, due to a cyst that grew right next to the root of that tooth. I'm currently whitening my teeth at home but am wondering if I need more internal bleaching of the lateral tooth, shown in the picture, before having Veneers put on?
I would not bother internally bleaching first. In general, bleached teeth revert, and you don't want it darkening down the road. Also, in your case, it looks like it will require extensive preparation (reduction) on the facial aspect anyway due to it's protrusion, so the color will be mostly removed with ample room for porcelain to mask it.

At this point I would go ahead and prep the teeth for veneers - In this day and age with photography and laboratory technology it can be matched without a problem. You will be very pleased with the outcome!
