I got 17 prepless porcelain veneers and a replacement crown. My front two teeth look huge to me. I initially had to ask the dentist to adjust the edges to create a softer/feminine look. The changes look “better” but not the best. The dentist is telling me they’re unable to make the two front teeth any smaller and I’m thinking I may have to get another dentist to fix this. She also did gum contouring that revealed more teeth adding to the large look. I don’t know what to think. What do I do?

It is true that dental veneers or crowns can get darkened they are worn off. However, it will take some while. Unfortunately there is no other way than to replace them if it is a big concern for you.
Most likely there is residue from the bonding cement. The back of your tooth should feel the same as prior to treatment. There will be a difference, however, in how the smooth porcelain would feel vs natural tooth structure. But, to me this sounds like you should return to the dentist to...
Thanks for the photo, it is helpful. It is possible there is breakdown in the veneer bonding attributing to the color change. Or maybe be time for a new veneer. This is my personal opinion and not a diagnosis.
