Can I have my veneers replaced with composite veneers

Q. Dr. Caplan, I have been a case of bad denistry. I had six top porcelain veeners at age 18 that are now bulky, fake looking and long. I used to have a small chip.I am 23 now. I want to have them removed and want the doctor to use composite resin to shape them the same as my old teeth to get my character back. Can this be done? I know it takes a lot of skills from the doctor. Have you ever heard this case before? Even though I have tooth removal, can composite replace my porcelain case. I know I will have more maintenace however, I like the composite look a lot better. Thank you for your time.

A. Porcelain veneers are likely to last you longer than composite veneers.  It sounds as though you may have a bite problem and this needs to be investigated before you have your veneers redone
