I had two veneers removed and a gingivectomy for aesthetic reasons.
Week and a half afterward it looks like the tooth behind the temp
veneer is turning black.
Any idea what causes this and what should I ask the dentist when I head
over there?
As well is this something permanent?

Probably just percolation of debris under the temp. veneers. They
surely aren't bonded in place--your dentist will want to be able to
remove them easily.
The teeth will be cleaned before the permanent veneers are put in.
