Why have gums receeded after veneers?

Q. Hello, Back in May I had a veneer fitted to one of my front teeth. Prior to having the veneer fitted I was advised that lasering the gum line above the tooth would make it more symmetrical – therefore I went ahead with this too. Since this treatment my gum appears to be receding and therefore the edge of the veneer is now visible. Why has this happened? and is there anything that can be done to reverse this, or to at least stop further recession of the gum? Or will I need a new veneer? Many thanks,
A. You need to go see your dentist so they can examine it and decide if a new veneers needed.
