Cracked veneers

[Glenda]

Hi

I have two front teeth that have dental veneers and when I fell over last night both of the dental veneers cracked. I am worried that the teeth unerneath may also have been damaged. My teeth now look shorter than before and look bad when I smile.

I need to go back to work on monday and I would like to know what I should do about my cracked veneers?

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Sorry to hear that you have damaged your veneers or possibly teeth. I does not sound good when you say your teeth look shorter. I do not know whether you mean your teeth ahve been intruded in. Your broken veneers is not a big issue and we can repair them in a way that they will look fine and presentable untill they are replaced (broken veneers have to be replaced completely in most of the cases). But as I said my concern is the position of you teeth and I very strongly suggest to come and see us for an assessment.

We can see you at any time of the day or night as we have a 24 hour 7 days a week emergency service. Look forward to see you soon.
