I recently had my top 10 teeth done—a mix of 5 crowns and 5 veneers (porcelain). 2 of these are still temps, but I'm worried that they look unnatural overall. Too opaque? Wondering if some re-shaping will help. Everyone I ask says they look amazing, but in photos they look unnatural to me. I think the top 2 front look too wide and I preferred the look of the temps (that started off not great but we adjusted them a lot.) If the front 2 were narrower, would these look more natural?
