Why are my veneers becoming so discolored when they have only recently been fitted?

Q.
Hi,

I have 8 porcelain veneers which i have had for around 7 months now. They cost ALOT of money as I’m sure u know, however over the past 3 months i have noticed them to start and discolor slightly…. they are nearly the same colour as my teeth previously (which weren’t to bad just not bright white) obviously i am upset about this as i haven’t had them on even a year yet!! just half a year! i went to my local dentist last week (this wasn’t where i got my veneers done) and asked him why he thought they were discoloring so soon and he said there may have been a slight problem when bonding, therefore liquids are getting behind my veneers and leaking through :s? does this sound possible? he said i may need them replacing as they will get worse!! do you think my cosmetic dentist will re-charge me so soon after having them done when it is no fault of my own??

Thank you for taking time to read this.

He is correct in what he has said, You need to go back to the dentist who placed the veneers they should be under guarantee you are in your right to have them replaced.
