Unhappy with Veneers. 4 Months Later, Dentist Was Out of State, What to Do?

I am unhappy with my veneers. Its been 4 months and $21,000 later. I went to a dentist out of state who specialized in gummy smiles (something that has bothered me for years). It was all very rushed I had the temporarys placed on and had to go back the very next day for the actual veneers. He made all the adjustments to the veneers while they were on my teeth. They are not the color I chose and they are uneven. What are my options? Do I need to go back to the same dentist to avoid paying again?
