My veneer needs replacing but I am not happy with the colour my new dentist has provided, what can I do?

Q.
Hi,
I recently cracked a veneer on a front incisor and went to my dentist for a replacement.
I have moved house since the original veneer was fitted and can no longer go to the same dentist.
My new dentist took impressions, colour matches etc and gave me a temporary veneer. I paid for half the cost after the first appointment.

Today I went back to have the proper veneer fitted and it was far too white/cream in colour. The dentist seemed a bit at a loss and said he would have to ask them to re-do it. When placed next to my other tooth, the veneer also looked far too thick and opaque – nothing like the veneer that I had lost. My original veneer was exactly the right colour and much more translucent.

I am now worried that the next effort won’t be good enough! The dentist said the lab may be able to colour the veneer or they may have to make another. I’ve lost a bit of confidence and I would like to know what my options are.

With thanks

Its very difficult to match a single veneer and remakes are quite common, so don’t lose faith i’m sure he will get it right in the end.
