Crack lines in veneers. Is there anything the dentist could do to help rectify this?

Question

I have veneers done some years ago. However, with repeatedly knocks to the front tooth, it formed a crack line now. It is not painful but aesthetically it is very unsightly as there is a brown stain in the crack line of the front tooth which cannot be removed with brushing. Is there any thing that the dentist could help to rectify this?

Hi:Most likely the veneers have to be replaced to handle the staining and the cracks.  For more accurate advice please post a photo of the cracked veneers.Best,Dr. Maddahi

You will probably need to have the veneer replaced. Luckily, veneer replacement is a fairly common procedure and your dentist should be able to do it easily. You should go see your dentist for an in person examination and treatment recommendation.
