Unlicensed Veneer Scams: The Dangers of "Crazy Glue Dentistry"
Learn why pursuing cheap, cosmetic dental work from unlicensed social media providers can lead to severe infection, emergency care, and massive repair bills.
Short Summary
- Victims suffered infections and injuries after an unlicensed provider used permanent adhesive (crazy glue) to install veneers.
- Real veneers average \$900–\$1,500 per tooth, prompting desperate searches for cheap alternatives championed by unqualified "veneer techs."
- The American Dental Association warns that any unsupervised dental alteration risks irreversible harm, yet these schemes proliferate due to social media influence.
This discussion details the criminal case of Emily Martinez in Florida, who allegedly performed complex dental work, including extractions, without a license, demonstrating the high cost of chasing unattainable beauty standards cheaply.

"Unlicensed Dentist" just translates to "regular person"
Installing fake teeth with crazy glue actually sounds like an Ed, Edd n Eddy scam
The fact that she did it to kids is disgusting. Not just because she did it while knowing that she didn’t have a license, but because the parents were the ones who brought the kids. An adult saw a cheap instagram dentist and brought their OWN CHILDREN to it, genuinely revolting
I wish more people would realize that teeth aren't supposed to be snow-white like a damn ceramic toilet bowl
"Biting on it like bubble gum" - Charlie
Dental student here. My heart sinks with all problems this can cause. It's way worse than you think.
"Veneers for children" has got to be the most cursed offering from this criminal enterprise. No properly licensed dentist would recommend putting in fake teeth when your kid still has adult teeth coming in. That's just asking for abscesses, gum erosion, soreness in the jaw, and broken teeth from fighting their way out of crazy glue prison. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of dollars you'll be spending to fix that mess.
i knew that 50 bucks colonoscopy in the back alley wasn't a good idea.
Pay cheap, pay twice. If it is too good to be true, it isn't true. Two nuggets of knowledge.
Whoever would allow their children to get veneers need to be institutionalized.
