4. TikTok Veneer Technicians.
Veneers are thin shells, usually made of porcelain, that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They're often used to cover up discoloration, chips, or gaps in teeth, providing a natural-looking and durable solution.
According to Dr. Ciapciak, a general dentist at Brede Ciapciak Dental, veneer technicians are not legally licensed in any state in the United States. @Princesskutz on TikTok has received a lot of backlash for illegally running a veneer business, and her account is now private. Dr. Ciapciak also said that these veneer technicians’ practices are considered assault and battery. Their poor techniques are most likely covering up cavities, periodontitis and even oral cancer. It’s highly recommended for individuals to avoid receiving treatment from any business that does not have the proper legal documentation.
