I just finished getting my porcleen veneers. In addition, I had some gums lasered to reshape my canines. However, I am now noticing that they are not symmetrical. Is it to late to use a laser and fix the shape, now that I have my porcleen veneers?

Answer: Gum recontouring Hi, congratulations on your new porcelain veneers! Recontouring gums with laser or blades is sometimes not 100% as tissue can grow back after reshaping the gums. If the margin of where the veneer meets the tooth on both canines are symmetrical, then it is possible to go back in with a laser and reshape the tissue again. If the margins are not at the same height, then it may be necessary to reshape the tissue to where you want it and worst case scenario replace the single veneer if there is a significant space between the gum and veneer. Good luck and hope its just a minor adjustment !

Answer: Too late for laser Typically laser treatment is done prior or while undergoing veneer treatments. After the restorations are placed the risk of exposing too much marign of the tooth is high and therefore may create some cosmetic complications which may require the veneers to be need to be redone.Feel free to discuss these with your treating provider as well.All the best!
