I can see dark coloured teeth through veneers. What can be done?

Q. when i was a child i self harmed my teeth in that i deliberately did not take care of them for a few years. This was due to pschological trauma. i took all the enamel off and the front teeth were about as yellows as you can get. this i ovbviously came to regret. recently i maged to get porcelain venners done, However the teeth that were the darkest yellow still appear to be a shade of yellow as if its showing through. Is ithis possible because i am very distressed. i had the top 8 teeth done one of the back of the 8 appears to show little bit of yellow on the top also,
A. If the teeth are very dark underneath then veneers will often show dark through the veneer. if the veneers have been on for a long time then it might be worth considering replacing them with lighter veneers to mask the colour underneath.

can the darkness be combatted by the dentist redoing thicker veneers or even crowns
