Making improvements but slowly.
So, my new dentist put veneers on two more teeth to help smooth out the step from the canines back. It doesn't show as well in the photos as it does in the mirror, but we're all about the photos these days, right?
At any rate, when I go back to him, I'm going to get them further refined to have him straighten out the line on the first two teeth and to shorten all of the front six to the extent that we can without replacing them. Also, I'm seriously thinking of having the canine's redone for a smoother step. If I get that done, I'll be happier with the smile but it's taking a while to get there and this social isolation doesn't help. I'm just wondering on how much refining he can do without having to replace the teeth or causing damage to the veneers. Thoughts?

Not as happy with them as I was...
I think part of it was just getting rid of the seams and having them white again. However, I really don't like the say you can tell the first front six are all aligned and white and then my smile steps down to the premolars which are smaller and grey with stains. I've found a new dentist and he understands why I'm not happy. The plan is to do my premolars (the two teeth on either side of the front six that I had done. This will make the smile more uniform as far as the upper teeth that are seen when I smile. I'm disappointed that my first dentist didn't really take into consideration that I was concerned about the transition of my canine's to my back teeth. Also, these are much more square and less feminine looking. When I get the new premolars, my new dentist says he'll also look at refining the six that I already have. I'll update when it's all done, but it won't be until around February.
Fine tuned
So I went in for a cleaning and fine tuning today and am a happy camper. My gums have "filled in" and we made some slight adjustments so the transition from the canines to the back teeth is as smooth as it will get without me putting veneers on another two teeth. Also, I had a new upper tray made so I can bleach the upper back teeth a bit more. All in all, I'm much more satisfied post fine tuning. The photos don't really do them justice as I think they look much better in real life.
