My Veneers look white in a certain light and not in others. Am I being over dramatic? Do they look more natural? (photos)

Question

I just got my veneers replaced after 20 years. I got the same shade as before and in certain light they look white in others no. Am I just being over dramatic? I think the new ones look so much more natural? And veneers have come a long way in 20 years so maybe thats it?

Let me start with... NICE SMILE!  Natural teeth have natural luminosity which will absorb and deflect light differently in different setting.  An natural smile will maintain a solid mono chromatic look in all lighting and looks fake and rather odd.  Enjoy your smile.

I don’t think they look too white at all. They look amazing and natural. Your dentist did an excellent job. Feldspathic porcelain veneers are extremely realistic while other veneers are less detailed. They types have their drawbacks however. Enjoy your smile!
