What are the options for fixing long canine teeth?

haleyrae_May 9, 2017
I have very prominent canine teeth. I don't like the way they look and I have been exploring the options of dental bonding as well as veneers. I don't want to damage them or compromise the health of the teeth considering they are healthy and I don't want to have any needles involved. What would be the best option for me? Is it even possible to get a natural look?

According to me you need to visit your dentist and consult with him or her regarding the pain because there must be something wrong in the procedure.
