One week ago I got two veneers on my front teeth. The right one looks nice, but the left one shows two white crossed lines. There are in those places where the grooves on the tooth were made. Plus this tooth does not feel quite right. It is sensitive when I floss it and if I squeeze it with fingers I feel sensitivity inside. The other tooth does not have those symptoms. I wonder if the left tooth did not bond to the tooth very well. Do I need to redo it?

I would tend to trust the recommendation of your new dentist. If he sees a crack on the back side of this tooth then the best treatment may very well be to place a crown than covers the entire tooth to provide it with extra strength and keep the crack from getting bigger.
Enamel defects negatively impact the bonding strength of composite resins. Depending on the extent of the defects I would recommend porcelain veneers if the defects were minimal but would opt for full ceramic crowns if the defects were undermining the integrity of the enamel on a larger scale....
