I had 20 porcelain veneers placed about a month ago. I went to a reputable cosmetic dentist and I’m not thrilled with them. I feel the top front 4 are too translucent for my liking. The shade was supposedly OM3 but it looks dull and yellow in certain lighting. I’m nervous about getting them redone (I cannot afford to do all 20 but maybe I can redo the top front 6) and I still have bad sensitivity/discomfort. Can I get those 6 redone slightly more opaque and lighter or will it look too odd?
