My dentist suggested getting orthos to slightly move my front teeth out so that we could put veneers on do to chipping from my lower teeth, i did. For 1 1/2 years we discussed the procedure. He said that i would be getting a veneer that would only require having a little bit of tooth removed on the sides and wanted to keep as much tooth structure as possible. I went for the prep work gased up i did not notice till to late that he preped for crowns. Why? What reasoning could he have for that?

Preparing veneers are minimally invasive but still traumatic to teeth and soft tissue. If your swelling is very noticeable and painful, the procedure may have woken up a sleepy monster! Any one of your teeth could have had dormant issues. Call your dentist and ask him/her to see you ASAP.
It seems to me that the looks of the temporaries has discouraged you to a point of regret;. You have already committed yourself in doing veneers. Veneers give you amazing results if done by a good cosmetic dentist .Veneers do not require a lot reduction, and if you had decay, it sounds to me...
Veneers, crowns, and implants can all be used in combination to create amazing results for a new smile.
Typically veneers or crowns are not placed "over" existing dental work. A lot depends upon what's already been worked on.
