Microleakage of porcelain veneers causing bluish tint at gum line? (photo)

Elle2127
I had 10 porcelain veneers placed 1 month ago. 7 of them look great but 2 of the teeth are showing a bluish tint under the veneers close to the gum line and 1 tooth is showing a bluish border around the side edge of the tooth. Some of my gums were bleeding quite a bit during the prep appointment. Will the 3 veneers that seem affected need to be replaced? Was this poor technique or can this happen to any dentist? Is it fixable? Thank you!
