I had 8 porcelain veneers placed yesterday and I am noticing that one veneer in the front is a bit longer then the other and looks kind of bulky. Can my dentist shave down my front veneer that is a bit to long and bulky? Or will I need to get the veneer replaced? Can you please also give me your opinion on the overall look of my veneers. And any suggestions. Thanks!
