My dentist didn’t explain what veneers were before he prepped my teeth and then I did’t want them. My teeth are now a mess. What can I have done?

Q. hi a few years ago i fell on ice and cracked tiny pieces off the inside outer edges of my two front teeth my dentist just stuck filling stuff in them but they kept coming loose and everytime they came out seemed to take pieces of my natural teeth with them.. he then decided i would proberley need veneers i was only 16 and didnt know what they were i thought it was some kind of brace he never explained it was a tooth cover. he had already taken of the top coat of enamel weeks before i had seen these venners that i didnt want and when i told him i still didnt want them he said it was too late because he had prepped my teeth.. so i went too a different denist and he has just coated my teeth for now with filling to protect them.. i had beautiful straight white teeth before this and now they are a total mess but still have good shape is there anything i can have done and should/could i complain thanks,
A. Every dentist should explain the treatment that they are recommending, but it is up to the patient to ask questions if they are not sure about the recommended treatment before scheduling that treatment. Veneers do sound like the best option for you to have the cosmetic results you desire.
