Cracked and chipped : Cracked and chipped front teeth are not normal. Unless the teeth are decayed in these areas, or were damaged as a result of trauma, this usually occurs from teeth grinding (bruxism). Treatment could be as simple as cosmetic bonding, or the teeth may need crowns. Have your dentist evaluate you for bruxism and then recommend appropriate treatment.

Depends on diet: Having chips in your front teeth may be caused by habits like biting on hard things or eating hard things. You may want to consider porcelain veneers which would give your teeth strength while being a conservative treatment.
