I just had my lumineers glued on about 2 weeks ago. After the first fews days I noticed a slight stain on my right canine. And now 2 weeks in I've noticed that the overall color has changed. I'm also seeing the lines where they were attached. Is there a chance that my dentist installed composite veneers and not porcelain ? If this is happening that early, I'm wondering what they would look like in the next few months!? Someone please enlighten me

Lumineers work best for teeth that are already straight or nearly straight in line. Based on photo, your best option would be to get them straight first with any form of braces (e.g. invisalign which you can't see) and then veneers if you still need them.
Certainly bounding is a good alternative to veneers and can be lengthened quite conservatively without any preparation to the underlying tooth. The only disadvantage to bonding is lifespan and often, after a few years, does stain. The newer bonding materials are quite aesthetic and highly...
Of course you can combine veneers, Lumineers and porcelain crowns with the same matching shade of white. I do this pretty frequently. I don't imagine your cosmetic dentist will have an issue with this at all.Veneers are what I do, so follow me if you have more specific questions...
