Dentist wants to replace existing veneers w/opaque to prevent show through. I prefer translucent. (photo)

Asked By:cluke73 in Houston, TX

Are there alternatives? My dentist is replacing my veneers because they are yellow and bulky. He's been shaving down the veneers to see if he can achieve the shape I desire before making new impressions. During this process he shaved down so far that you can see some show through. He said once the veneers are removed he will do more prep on that tooth but will probably go with opaque veneers to make sure you can't see that tooth. I don't want opaque veneers. Any suggestions?
