Why are my veneers turning out the wrong shade/color? (photos)

Asked By:Adamtrons in Pasadena, CA

Had veneers done around '95 but gums receded which created gap, forcing me to redo them. (photo1). I selected BL2 to go whiter. After work was done with E.Max, I ended up with 3 different shades of teeth! (photo 2). Dr said raw tooth was showing through & changing colors. Decided to try BL1 veneers to compensate but as soon as tested with cement, turned BL3. He said options now are to order different type of cement or remove more tooth. Is this normal for it to be such a trial & error process?
