Hello there,I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your results. You photos are a bit blurry, but from what I can see your smile looks great! Unfortunately, the time to change the shade of your crowns was before they were permanently cemented. If you are unhappy with the shade of your crowns, they would need to be replaced. This would involve your dentist cutting your current crowns off and having new ones made. I would suggest speaking with your dentist again about your concerns. Often times, the worst thing to do is to cut off the lines of communication with your dentist because you are upset. Good luck and I hope this helps.

The first question is why did you let them cement a crown that was the wrong color? Once a crown is cemented the only way to change it is to cut off the crown and remake it. I suggest having a conversation with your dentist and discussing your concerns. Most dentists will be reasonable and want to make you happy. If you and your dentist can't come to an agreement you may need to find another dentist who has the ability to custom shade restorations.
Well the only thing you can do is whiten your teeth on the other side to match. If you were my patient I would have given you a mirror to confirm you liked the shade before cementing. Your only other option is to have them redone but you just paid for those and I am assuming you don't want to do that.

It is actually better to NOT glaze. The teeth that chew against the glazed crowns will wear at a high rate, that it is actually better/more gentle to have the crowns highly polished.

The most common way to remove a crown is with a bur. An experienced dentist should be able to remove the crown with no damage to the underlying teeth. If you have concerns, I would recommend discussing the procedure with your dentist. I hope this helps. Follow me for more questions and answers.
