​6 week post op, I got 8 top front veneers and now my gums are red, swollen and bleeding. What are my options for treatment?

The teeth were built out because my top jaw was small and gum recontouring was done with a laser. 4 wks later after 2 tries + lots of pain I got the permanent set. Ever since my gums are very inflamed + red. I went for a 2nd opinion and now I need crown lengthening then new veneers. 1. Is this a dentist error? Did he shave off too much of my teeth? Are the margins pushed too far into my gums? 2. Any alternative to getting another expensive and painful gum surgery and then veneers again? Thanksporcelain veneer
