Can a composite veneer be removed/reversed without damage of original tooth and enamel? (photo)

Question

I had gaps in my teeth, but as my bite was great my orthodontist wanted to avoid damaging it through a 2nd round of braces I was suggested dental bonding to both of my lateral incisors as they were peg laterals. The dentist said he was going to try to be as conservative as he could and avoid drilling while giving me composite vineers. However after 2 months I still can't get used to them and want my natural teeth back perhaps get a second orthodontic opinion. Can they be removed without damage?

Hi:Good question.  If your teeth were not shaved down while doing the composite veneer, you should be able to remove it without any damage.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Hi, 
Yes the veneers can be removed with minimal, if any damage to your existing teeth. If you can find a dentist near you which uses a laser to cut teeth the laser can be shone on to the veneer to break the bond and removed. 
I would suggest you do your research to find a dentist that uses a Erbium yag laser. 
Regards, 
Sandeep
