I had some composite temporary veneers applied 2 weeks ago. They were turning sort of gray and they were removed today. Underneath, my teeth were almost completely black. My dentist said it was only on the surface since she was able to remove the black fairly easily. She said it was because my gums were bleeding when the composites were applied.
