Sorry...No. Once the veneers are made the color cannot be altered.
It is very difficult to match the color of your teeth specially the front teeth. You want to first bleach all your teeth to the desired shade and then make the veneers to match.
Do your research, find the best cosmetic dentist in your area. Look at plenty of finished cases before you choose your doctor.
I wish you better luck this time.
You can't whiten porcelain veneers once they're on your teeth.
Many dentists are not up-to-date on shade-matching of bleached teeth. There is no limit as to how white your porcelain veneers can be. What happened to you is so typical when people get porcelain veneers from dentists who are not experts in cosmetic dentistry. They are learning as they go, and you are the guinea pig. Often they do not have the materials required to do the job you need done.
The porcelain veneers can be re-done. He does not need to "break them off." He merely grinds them off. It's like starting over. The chances of damaging your teeth, if he does this right, are less with re-doing the porcelain veneers than it was with doing them in the first place. But it would be best to go to a dentist who is an expert in cosmetic dentistry rather than to be experimented on one more time.
Hope I helped.
