Veneer colors don't match - can this be corrected? (photos)

Question

I got my veneers done and it was a very difficult procedure as the dentist nor lab got my bite right. They blamed it on me. I had to redo my front 2 veneers. I now feel as if the color is off from the other veneers. In certain lights it does look better, but do you think it’s more yellow/darker? Is it worth redoing? Can another dentist get a better match?

As far as I see from photos, it's not worth it to replace. They look quite good and acceptable in terms of shape, color, anatomy in all of 3 photos.

Hello! Custom shade matching with the right lab can get you a more accurate match. This can take a few attempts even with a great lab. This is my personal opinion and not a diagnosis or medical advise.

It does appear that there may be a slight color discrepancy between the two front veneers and the adjacent veneers. Color matching for veneers can be challenging, especially if the procedure has been complex due to bite alignment issues. Lighting conditions can also influence how the color appears.
If you’re unhappy with the current color match, consulting with a different dentist who specializes in cosmetic dentistry and has extensive experience in veneer color matching could help. A skilled cosmetic dentist can work closely with a high-quality dental lab to achieve a more harmonious color blend that complements the adjacent veneers.
Redoing the veneers could be worthwhile if the color difference bothers you, as advanced shade-matching techniques and more precise lab collaboration can yield a better result. During your consultation, you may also consider requesting a try-in of the veneers before final placement to ensure satisfaction with the color.
