I just had 6 upper porcelain veneers put on and I hate them. They are very thick and bulky but also much whiter than i had expected. My dentist did not give me proper temporary veneers to see what they would be like, but also failed to show me how they look before bonding them.

Answer: Veneers can definitely be removed!
I would assume that you chose to do the veneers because you were unhappy with the way that your teeth looked. Now you aren't happy with the look of your veneers. This can happen. Occasionally something goes wrong and the end result isn't what we were expecting or had hoped for.
With veneers we don't really have the luxury of previewing and wearing the veneers before they are bonded into place. Considering this fact, and the high success of the treatment, I would say that veneers are a fantastic treatment option. Talk to your dentist and tell him how they appear to you and how they feel, and how you feel about the outcome. He should be able to remake them for you to your satisfaction.

Answer: Can I Have my Veneers Removed?
Porcelain veneers CAN be removed. Though the process of making veneers is actually designed to make them stay adhered for many years. In general, veneers can be a treatment that lasts 5 to even 20 years.
The problem you are describing is that you are disappointed with your veneers. This is a difficult place to be. First, start with a calm, objective conversation with your dentist. Explain without emotions and accusations, what concerns you have about how your porcelain veneers turned out. Then stop and listen. Try to find a workable solution. There may be some difficult choices.
You are in a place where there are no easy solutions. I would not make any decisions lightly about having your veneers removed. I would do that only as a last option.
If you don't seem to be working toward a productive solution with your dentist, you may want to get a second opinion from a cosmetic dentist. It's very important for him to know your list of what you expect before you start. It's also important that you listen to his list of what to expect. Great cosmetic dentistry is hard to do, takes lots of practice and education, and takes a fantastic ceramist-which can be expensive.
A good cosmetic dentist will help build your confidence at each step of the process.
