Side Effect After Composite Veneer Treatment?

Hi Doctors, I would like to know can i remove the composite veneer for the 4 front teeth i did yesterday. After putting on the composite, the sizes of my teeth changed and caused me problem biting and chewing food in my mouth. Before i undertook this treatment I did not know this minor cosmetic makeover will give trouble to my normal way of eating. Pls advise. Thanks.
