The only way to make veneers whiter is to change them to a lighter shade. Usually the question of color is decided before the case goes to the lab. In your situation you should consult with experienced aesthetic dentist to achieve desirable effect.
A short term, cheap fix to broken front teeth is bonding; however, bonding material is mostly acrylic plastic. Bonding can be placed on the teeth in a single visit and lasts from 5 to 10 years. However in that time the material chips, discolors and wears so that it never looks better...
Actually it is an excellent result. The smile design is a very natural look, not the straight-across hollywood look. You have had excellent treatment. Keep smiling.
