Hair Line Fracture in My Dental Veneer, Will It Crack?

Question

Hiys Guys, I've just noticed a dark line on the side of my dental (porcelin) veneer, which looks like a crack, although I can't be sure. My dentist is on holiday and I'm going away in a few days and I'm wondering what the likelihood is that this will crack or break while I am on holiday. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Hello, While the cracking of the veneer is a major issue, the more important issue is the fact that if the Veneer is left cracked bacteria causing plaque can get through the crack and under the Veneer, There it will begin to slowly set up decay and eventually ruin the tooth....You need to get to your DDS... ASAP and get the Veneer replaced...Good luck and I wish you well.
