Veneers are needed when someone has cracked, chipped, significantly yellowed, or misshapen teeth. Yellowing can come from coffee or tea, citrus or acidic food, sweets, soda, berries or wine. Cracking and chipping of teeth is a common occurrence for many people as well. This is often due to practices that may seem harmless but ultimately weaken and eventually break teeth. Some ways to crack or chip your teeth are chewing ice, not wearing a mouth guard during athletic sports, using teeth as tools to rip tags or cut tape and grinding teeth unknowingly while sleeping. Dr. Lichter’s office is familiar with these occurrences and recommends dental veneers for cracked or chipped teeth.
