My gums above the 6 porcelain veneers are red, swollen with chronic inflammation. I went back to the dentist who performed the dental veneers and was told to use a perio-rinse, and a salt water rinse. I went to a periodontist for a second opinion and was told that I should have a deep clean/laser clean and wait a month and if it does not settle down I will have to have surgery to correct the gums ( also found bone loss above one tooth). Should I just replace the veneers?
