How long have the temporaries been in place? What kind of foods and drinks do you consume regularly?

The temporary restorations are usually a more porous acrylic material that can pick up stains much easier than teeth or the final veneers. For this reason, it's advised to avoid consuming things that will stain the teeth (such as coffee, red wine, etc.) It is possible that the temporary restorations are leaking, causing the discoloration at the gumline in particular, for which I would recommend you follow up with your dentist so they can address that issue. Regardless, any staining on the temporaries should not be damaging to the teeth and can be removed by cleaning the teeth prior to delivering the final veneers. Hope this helps!
