Do my veneers fit my face or are the front two teeth too long and square? (Photos)

Question

I do like my veneers but sometimes I feel like my front 2 teeth are too long and/or square! What do you think? I posted some before and afters. He made them a lot longer since I had hardly any toothshow when smiling before.

In my professional opinion, your veneers look quite nice overall, and I would not recommend redoing them based on these photos.
I can understand why you are questioning the length of the two front teeth, though. They do appear intentionally longer than they were before treatment, which can be a good thing because you mentioned that you previously showed very little tooth when smiling. The current length gives you more tooth display and a fuller smile.
If you still feel that the two central incisors are a little too long or too square, I think this may be a relatively simple correction. I would first ask the dentist who placed the veneers whether they would be comfortable doing some very conservative recontouring and polishing of the incisal edges.
In my practice, it is fairly common to make small refinements like this after veneers are completed. Removing a very small amount from the edges of one or more front teeth can sometimes make the smile feel much more balanced without replacing the veneers.
The key is to be conservative. Small adjustments can make a noticeable difference, but you do not want to shorten them too aggressively and lose the improved tooth display that the veneers created.
So my recommendation would be to fine-tune the existing veneers rather than redo them. Based on the photos, I think a small amount of shortening and softening of the two front teeth may be all that is needed for you to feel more comfortable with the result.
