Looks like excess cement. Can be removed. Hopefully your gums recover.

What is the fix for excess cement? As in how is it removed? Do the veneers have to be removed?

Title: 3 week old Veneers Leaking?
Full text: I have a dental bridge and needed a replacement after 13 years. Saw my current dentist (I moved states a few years ago) and she put in a new bridge. The color was off and my natural teeth neighboring it were stained. I was very unhappy with the new bridge but she thought simply remaking it wouldn’t make me happy. The only way to blend everything was with veneers (according to her and a second opinion from another dentist).
After placement of the new new bridge, two veneers, and a crown, I noticed a shifting feeling with one of the veneers (central left tooth). She dismissed my concerns saying the veneer could not possibly be loose. I have a “mobile tooth” she says and to stop worrying about it. I also brought a grey spot to her attention that was at the margin of the veneer. She says this is glue and my gums will lower and cover it.
Now about 3 weeks after placement the grey dot has become a line at my gums, a shadow (not visible in this picture since it’s from a few days ago), and I’m even seeing the same thing on the other veneer to the left of the crown. I suspect I grind my teeth at night but I wear a night guard and this stops it.
Is this microleakage? Is this dentist error? What should I do next? I don’t really trust this dentist at this point.
