I recently had 21 veneers (11 top & 10 bottom) placed about two weeks ago, I feel like I didn’t quite get what I wanted. What I was looking for was that more “fake Hollywood” type smile. I am a little dissatisfied with the overall “bottom line” of my top teeth. Is it possible to have them shaved down slightly so they form a more perfect crisp line now that they have been fitted? To what degree can adjustments be made now that they are cemented in?

Answer: Veneer Adjustments Yes your veneers can be adjusted. When we "adjust", remember it is usually a "reduction" and may not be reversible, so go slow over a few visits.Some materials are easier to polish after adjustments like the newer ceramics but the older "porcelain" is easier to adjust but may loose luster if it is in the visual zone (not bite or length).Lastly, work with your dentist in conveying what you want to adjust, so go into the visit with a plan. Tell them exactly what to shorten, sharpen, etc. You have a beautiful smile and remember the veneers simply complement the person!

Answer: Veneer adjustment So to answer this question is rather difficult. I understand what you mean by not being satisfied with the shape of them as they are to bulky in my opinion, but that being said you can try to shorten them slightly but then you run into the problem of having bulkier short teeth.
