I am getting my 6 front veneers redone because they were too white and opaque. I am wearing A2 shade temps and although a tiny bit darker, they blend really nicely with bottom and adjacent teeth, looks very natural. My dentist wants to go with a gradient of A2 and B1 for the final veneers and I am worried it will be too white compared to the rest of my teeth and look fake. If the final veneers turn out too white for my taste, is it possible to darken them using a darker cement?
