After Veneers, Haven't Brushed Real Teeth. Should I Worry?

I had 6 top veneers (numbers 6-11) in the top front because my teeth were spaced slightly far apart. The dentist suggested veneers (actually there is more to this story but I won't go into it here). I do wish I had never gotten them.

Can't do much to "fix" that other than replace the tooth itself or cover it up...in other words, apply a veneer!
