Is it possible to put something like a thin layer of composite behind the veneers to make them less transparent?

girl01979
I have recently had veneers done (my two front teeth) in another country by a family member who is a dentist. Without asking me first, he put in veneers with slightly transparent bottom edges. He said it is esthetically pleasing when the teeth let light pass through. I am having a difficult time getting used to my new transparent teeth. I wanted nice big WHITE teeth. Is it possible to put something like a thin layer of composite behind the veneers to make them less transparent? Thanks!
