I had procedure for veneer on my two upper Lateral Incisor teeth around 4 years ago. I noticed that when I flashed my tooth with phone flashlight, I had a small dark spot. I wasn’t sure if it’s a tooth decay or a leak in the bond of the veneer. Therefore, I wanted some advice as to what it maybe and should I be worried. So far there has been no major pain from tooth. It’s been just sensitivity from hot/cold and itvaries/not frequent.

Gum recontouring is a great option for short teeth! It is simple and recovery is very quick. I do not use a laser and my patients say they feel completely fine the next day. I know you said you had lip injections but you could also consider botox (lip flip) to stop the upper lip from going too...
Removal is absolutely possible. There are specific lasers that remove them really well and without much fuss. I am not sure what is causing the gum issues if it is the veneers or something else. Sometimes I see gum inflammation on the roof of someone's mouth if they are breathing a lot though...
