Deer damage to shrubs

Hello all! I had my landscape done last year and was given all the "deer proof" shrubs. (I know there is no such thing, but my landscaper told me he has NEVER had a problem with deer and these shrubs.) My Blue Rug junipers and Mugo pines are eaten down to the branches. My Boxwoods look like my 3 year old took a hedge clipper to them. The plants all appear to have survived this all you can eat buffet.
My question is: Do you think the plants can regrow the foliage? Should I rip them out and start again?
This winter everyone of my little shrubs will be getting a nice burlap wrap to protect them.
Thanks for your help.
James
