Not if they are done right!
If a space is left between veneer and the margin of your prepared tooth or the veneer is bulky and overcontoured, bacteria can leak in and cause irritation, inflammation, and bleeding and possibly decay. Excess cement or bonding material can also irritate your gums. Another reason is poor oral home care: frequent flossing and brushing, are extremely important for the longevity of porcelain veneers, but without vigorously doing so, can spare you from periodontal disease and keep your veneers well-maintained for years.

Not the Veneers but the material that used to attach the Veneers to tooth surface.Also, other reasons might cause sensitivity to the tooth .
Yes, that’s possible. Sometimes some bonding cement is left behind and can cause gingival inflammation and pain. If there are gaps between the veneer and tooth, pain may occur. If the veneers go up too high below the gum line , pain may occur. Please go see your dentist for a consultation.
Yes they can. There are many reasons why you could be experiencing gum pain after having veneers placed. You should make an appointment with your dentist for an evaluation.
