So-called ‘Veneer Techs’ are destroying people’s teeth for money and clout. They’ve recently gone viral on social media with these pseudo-dentists saying that they can now perform veneer procedures after just two days of training. This comes after a self-proclaimed veneer tech shared his certificate of completion for a “veneer tech course,” and a separate TikTok user shared a horror story of her veneers falling out after two days, but dentists are warning that these techs are performing dental work illegally. In this video, I discuss the veneer tech scam economy and how the desperation to get rich quick means people have no regard for others’ dental health.

People need to realize that if you can't afford the real thing YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT.
I wish as a society we stopped shaming people for their teeth. No one has perfectly straight teeth 😢
If only the US system wasn't so crappy and for some reason ignores density in insurance people would not be so desperate to get this in the first place.
It's not just abour straight teeth. People have accidents, dabble with drugs, have birth defects, etc.. it's visually more appealing too, yes. No, I dont have straight teeth, but I wish I did.
or perfectly white either way
Personally I agree, perfectly straight teeth are boring. I feel that mine are fine as they are.
Absolutely I’m so tired of people making what your body naturally does an issue
Access to basic dental care should be a priority, but this is just people being influenced by what they see. Just plain vanity.
OH MY GOD. I am a cosmetologist, PLEASE DO NOT EVER USE NAIL MONOMER IN YOUR MOUTH. It is POISIONIOUS IF INJESTED. MMA is for your mouth and dentists are able to buy (illegal for your nails), EMA is for your nails and is what you are buying online (it is a purple or clear liquid). This is actually terrifying
I wear dentures and since structure changes they can reline the dentures in between new sets. They do use a corrosive acid similar to nail primer to apply the liner to the inside of the dentures. They do not however get it anywhere near your mouth tissue. Just can’t imagine having a corrosive acid applied directly to your teeth, horrid.
Not the nail tech apparently applying veneers with long nails and no gloves 😭
I haven’t heard anyone break this veneer tech craze down from a socioeconomic perspective. Very eye opening and illuminating points about them exploiting poor people 👍🏾
Are you saying poor people are stupid? Or is time we clarify what "poor" actually means? I feel like the word poor needs to be replaced with "incompetent" or "stupid" these people are following a trend for no reason. Affordability isn't the problem. They still paid so must have money.
As a german, this whole situation is just baffling to me. Just the concept of there being such a huge market for people that aren't even dentists to just shave down other people's teeth because of a beauty standard. I can tell you that many germans are actually disgusted by the way too straight and paper white bleached teeth that Americans seem to love. It looks and feels unnatural and unhealthy to us, and while we do like nice and healthy teeth, it's not the completely leveld kind. Veneers aren't really popular over here, but the people that need them get the color of them matched to the rest of their teeth, which is slightly off white cream with a yellowish tint naturally. Even the whites that American dentists often proclaim as looking natural (well, social media dentists anyway) wouldn't be a pick over here, and often still looks way too wrong to me.
As a fellow European (Dutch), I fully agree. In my experience, getting your teeth straightened is the most most people here will do, which is often partially cosmetic, but it does also have some health benefits, and even then, having slightly crooked teeth isn't seen as a huge deal either.
that’s such a refreshing experience, thank you for sharing 🫶
Don’t let social media fool you - it doesn’t represent “average” people in the U.S. I’ve actually had veneers on my four front teeth for over 25 years because I chipped one when I was a kid, and you would never know. They look completely natural, and even new dentists can’t tell until they examine them closely. But they were done before the social media craze so the goal was to match them to my other teeth. And I have to have them redone now, but I will be doing the same - no fake white horse teeth for me! 😂😂
As an Eastern European (UA), even with our warped beauty standards, I've never seen those "pristine white" teeth on people in real life (I do pay a lot of attention to other people's teeth due to having crooked and yellow-ish teeth myself). It is quite bizarre how social media and especially American media promotes this idea of having unnaturally white teeth as a standard and pushes it to the point when people actually endanger their health to "fit in".
Auch deutsch, erzähl kein Unsinn/keine Fake News hier.
Als ob der Trend bzw der Anspruch, 'perfekte' Zähne zu haben, hier nicht ebenfalls eine Rolle spielt. In letzter Zeit mal reality TV geschaut? Laufen auch hier viele mit Veneers rum. Welcher Deutsche ist bitte 'disgusted' von zu perfekten Zähnen??? Die Kritik, wenn sie geübt wird, ist in der Regel, dass es 'too much' ist und unnatürlich aussieht. Was für ein Deutschland versuchst du den Leuten hier zu verkaufen 😂
My mom has worked as the solo office manager for a dentist office for 25 years and we’ve never had dental insurance. Dental insurance is so fucked and paying out of pocket can be so unrealistic. My heart goes out to people who need serious work now that pain is no joke
The real issue is that teeth and eyes are not considered apart of basic medical care, requiring considerable additional expense for even basic care.
Actual it’s not. Basic medical care is always covered, and the insurance premiums for dental and vision insurance are literally just a few dollars per pay period.
I bet these people are like “I work in healthcare. It’s not easy being a healthcare hero 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾”
We’re really in the middle of a dentistry crisis and this isn’t even the beginning, it’s been happening for a while.
We need universal health care. This country has enough money for all of us to have care.
I felt toothache while watching what these so-called ‘techs’ did to poor people, brrrr. Veneers are traumatizing by themselves, and having them done by a con without a proper education is just a catastrophe!
I've seen a few creators make a video about this and I'm glad for it. Teeth are no joke, and you shouldn't trust anyone with your mouth. You can find fake caps online for a fraction of the cost without risk of losing whatever teeth you do have.
I got veneers done by a real dentist a few years ago and spent $10k and it honestly worth every penny. My overall confidence skyrocketed and I became more assertive at work and in how I carry myself. With that being said, I understand why people are so desperate to get the "perfect smile" and as a public health professional, it makes me sick how these scammers are preying on peoples' insecurities and taking advantage of the terrible healthcare access we have in the US. I hope more professionals bring awareness to how dangerous this is.
it's ridiculous that people are insecure about teeth. adults buy into marketing and think they need to fit Beauty standards
I'm glad some comments (as well as Ashley) are explaining the importance of these procedures. It's not just about vanity, it's not like a BBL - having bad teeth *severely* impacts your life. It's about reduced job opportunities, difficulty forming friendships and relationships, harassment etc. and shouldn't be treated as "haha women are so insecure and need to get offline". This is all coming from someone who had the opportunity to have my teeth straightened and has all my teeth in relatively good shape because of being born in the middle class. It's something people take for granted, unless it impacts them or someone they love.
Thank you for bringing up how wealth and class are such a huge factor in this argument. I’ve seen so many other creators make videos about this topic but none have touched on why this is happening. Or how our healthcare system forces people to look to these unsafe alternatives.
This capatilist society is so bad for people their wellbeing and their actual health! So sad. Great video!
get over yourself capitalism isn't the problem it's the desire to have infinite growth and infinite profit no matter what without price controls and proper regulations just look at Switzerland Greenland or Denmark they have almost zero inflation and a great quality of life. Brother it's not the system of capitalism that's the problem it's the people in power not placing proper regulations and the desire to have infinite Prophet Beyond reasonable means it's simply not sustainable for the entire Earth
One of the problems that caused this is that some people don't see dentists as doctors. They see dentists as "nail tech for teeth". 9:16
14:28 I agree that dental care should be more accessible but veneers are not a necessity. They're for aesthetics. They're optional. I don't think they can be subsidized.
Amazon and Temu for Veneers?! Say what!? 😳
We need to love our bodies. Both sides know better. If it is too good to be true, it is not worth it.
appreciate this video but i will note that the corset section is vastly overstated in terms of danger. while obviously there can be complications with corsetry, it wasn’t/isn’t this incredibly dangerous practice exclusively for aesthetics. corsets help with breast support, back posture, etc. and are completely safe when done properly. yes, there were extreme procedures done to snatch waists - such as removing your lower ribs - but that’s completely different form wearing a corset. think of them more like bras - we don’t technically need them, but they’re good to have. we can use them for aesthetics too!wear them too tight/an incorrect size, and you’re just causing yourself incredible discomfort and potential pain.
I came here to say this!! his whole "corsets causes internal injury" this is actually a myth started by a man who hated how "addicted" women were to fashion. Love these videos, but this is a historically inaccurate myth, a ye olde moral panic, shall we say.
The rest of this video was spot on tho
Edit: I think you edited your comment to include things about removing ribs, and that wasn't in your original comment, so now my comment doesn't make sense.
No one ever had any ribs removed to help corsets fit. That's a nonsense myth.
For the majority I agree. My understanding tis that the ones doing it were the upper crust, and even then not many of them were tight lacing.
You can always do dead lifts and back workouts to better your posture. Just like men do. Why is everything so gendered in society?
@@user-tx1eu1md5n dude i meant that it’s physically harder to slump when wearing a corset. plus there were and still are male corsets around. and not everyone is physically able to do workouts like that lol
She said Many. Not most, not all, not that it was the norm. Many women get cosmetic surgery today. Does that mean all? Most? That it’s the norm? Clearly not. I also didn’t get that from the brief moment she touched on the subject. It seems y’all just want to nitpick and point out something “wrong”, basically overdramatizing what the person said. But if that makes y’all feel better, go off I guess
Tight lacing of corsets were rare. Yes it happened but it was super rare.
They used padding and crinolines to achieve the fashionable shilloute. Also ye olde photoshop.
Corsets were first and foremost support. For the chest and the metal crinolines. This also helped to allow women to move more freely as they didnt need as many layers to achieve the desire dress shape, and they had variety of corsets. From everyday corsets to pregnancy corsets to sport corsets!
Hmm it really wasn't that rare judging by the study of the skeletons of some of the men and women from especially the late 1820s and 30s. They did go overboard when the steel eyelet was invented
@@aesinam Let me put it this way
That is like if a historian found remains with evidence of like implants or something and then decided we all did that.
The actions of a few, even if its in the 100s number, does not determine the norm of a society.
I do love my not perfect teeth
Getting veneers is like painting your floors. Looks good, at first 🤣
Why are they all getting these super white cartoon teeth? When I got my teeth done the dentist advised me away from getting the whitest possible (not that I wanted them bright white) and go for a few shades not as white so they don’t look like fake teeth. My teeth are implants not veneers.
I got my venners from a dentist appointment 5 years ago and it costed me 65$ thanks by my health insurance. It's expensive, but it was made by a professional. I understand that dentists are expensive but at what risk do you want to do that with your teeth?
If you can’t afford dental care, contact your closest dental school and ask for services. Dental schools offer free or heavily discounted dental care. There may be a waitlist and your appt will be longer but, it is worth it. They are actual dental students/ residents supervised by licensed dental health professionals. Start by research community colleges and universities with dental programs. A community college may offer just cleanings… a university may offer cleanings and more advanced things like root canals, fillings, extractions, and even consultations to get referrals if you need more care beyond what they can offer.
Do they not know a certificate is just THAT?! You need to get the license after
There seems to be a type of customer or client these scammers often go for and its very sad. The most vulnerable customer is one that is uninformed and desperate.
It's sad that people feel the need to do every treatment and procedures available to feel beautiful, even if when there's nothing wrong with them.
For 5K they could’ve went to Colombia or Dominican Republic to get that done by a REAL DENTIST
I subscribe to you just because you are not belittling those who do have monetary issues. Thanks for keeping it on BOTH perspectives! Real one!! Good luck to your future endeavors! ❤
Just the thought about how much your teeth can impact your whole body and psychic would make not to go to cheap places. Veneers aren't as bad as crowns, but still...
This is as crazy as the “stylists” who were doing cheap fillers and fake Botox with diabetic pens a few years ago. These fake veneer techs are even more dangerous because our dental health is tied to our overall health - you can get a heart attack if you leave a tooth and gum infection unattended.
If you want cosmetic dentistry, go to the (bleep)ing dentist, not some “tech”! Dentists have medical training, dental assistants go to school for TWO YEARS to know how to care for teeth, and both dentists and dental assistants have to follow strict regulations.
Oop the corset ladies about to come for you 👀
said and done lol
Lol they're here
I can’t believe people actually fall for this? How??? I guess vanity clouds discernment
Thanks for this video, ive been curious about this topic!
I am SO thankful for this channel! Thank you ❤
I'm so happy you uploaded :) thank you :)
So many scams out here. It's sad.
I have veneers but they're actually a need, paid a good fortune for them at the dentist. I wouldn't want them if It wasn't necessary, this is dangerous.
One of the biggest issues here is that some of these techs are applying veneers OVER tooth decay. Covering an infected tooth with a shell is quite literally the worst thing you can possibly do. It'll let the infection get worse and drive it down the root and into the bone. Your teeth are close to your sinuses. Your teeth are close to your eyes. Your teeth are close to your ear canals. They are close to the nerve that lets you feel your tongue. They are close to major blood vessels that go directly to your heart.
with proper dental care, cavities are easy to fix. Under normal circumstances, tooth infections will stay in your mouth . But putting a veneer where you shouldn't creates abnormal circumstances, and under abnormal circumstances an infected tooth can kill you. Stay safe people.
finally a deep dive into this veneer craze. great video, as always 💕
I won't even let someone do my hair off of social media. Let alone veneers.
Calling them "practioners" is giving them way too much credit😂.....they are scammers
I absolutely love your channel and how you handle these subjects. I'm subscribing queen ❤️
Wow a liability issue to fix…Damn this is crazy.
That talk about healthcare makes me think about medicaid because you basically have to work at Mcdonald's AND work less than 20 hours in order to qualify lmao.
Ppl should just get snap on smile. It's just a mouth piece and u can take them out when u get home if u can't afford the dentist.
I got over having perfect white teeth when I realized that it was really an American or Western obsession and that the color of your teeth is often times genetic.
Just because you’re poor doesn’t mean you can’t take care of your own teeth. I grew up in poverty and we still knew how to brush, floss, and use mouth wash. So blaming the cost of dental care on why folks have raggedy teeth is ludicrous. You maybe can’t afford braces but sometimes it’s your own fault those teeth are rotten. Getting a COSMETIC procedure done by an unlicensed person practicing medicine makes you an idiot. It’s not like it was a life or death situation. Gotta stop making excuses for people.
What about anesthesia?😳they going to jail. What’s wrong with these people
Correction about the corsetry bit - corsets wouldn't injure you if they fit properly, and they'd be custom made with measurements for each person. They were worn to support your body, kind of like bras. They would only be dangerous if you tight-laced them an extreme amount and it was a very small percentage of people that actually did that. The majority of women wouldn't be tight-lacing and wouldn't be getting crushed by their corsets.
It was made up by male doctors in a time where women were seen as especially weak and fragile, and they knew very little about actual female anatomy, which you can still see remnants of today, women are still treated terribly because of medical misogyny.
Just wanted to say because its still something spread around and maybe if anyone sees this they might change their view on it
No Ashley, people are stupid. If a dentist charges X it’s because they know what they doing- how are people going to think a TECH is going to do a job as good as a Dentist who is a doctor. It’s pure stupidity
I have 3 crowns and 2 more planned for later this year, because I have terrible genetics for teeth. Why why why anyone would get these sub par veneers instead of just getting professional crowns boggles my mind.
Screw it, I’m a heart tech, after a 1 week class I’m ready for open heart surgery
If your going to a veneer tech cause you want to be cheap and get your teeth done then you can expect to have some difficulty later, these people don't have any medical or dental experience to be going inside your MOUTH doing any kind of work. Just because you find something at a good price doesn't always mean it's a GOOD DEAL. But yet there are still people out here going to these Veneer Techs....."JUST CRAZY"😎
Premise #1: What in the hell makes you think that is a "perfect smile?" It looks like dentures all day long.
This is like fix-a-flat 2.0. SMH
Also, like, even IF the people who go to veneer techs were dumb, ignorant or naive, they still don't deserve getting taken advantage of because of this!
People don’t do their research on things. Dental work is something you NEVER cheap out on, the amount of stuff in your mouth that is connected to your brain and heart is insane and non-professionals can make a mistake that can leave you dead. You’re better off just paying for an actual doctor or just not getting the work done. And yes I get dental work is expensive, but there are some low cost options (such as going to a local dental college).
lol, people don’t fuck with your teeth, they don’t grow again. Leave it to the experts please
I know people are just trying to gain the benefits that come with beauty, but we have to have common sense. These fake veneer techs are cheaper than a real dentist, but they are not cheap in the absolute. If you're going to scrape together several thousand dollars to get fake veneers put over compromised teeth, you're better off spending that money on standard cleanings, fillings, or even extractions. If your teeth are still rotting, what will support your brand new veneers? You're just wasting money and speeding up the inevitable. Worse yet are the health consequences of unchecked tooth decay. Dental infections can become systemic and literally cause death. I'd rather be alive with crooked teeth.
Nail acrylic is not for your mouth !!!
At some point, people have to take responsibility for their own stupid decisions. Who in their right mind will go for such a procedure from a random person with no proper education? I won't waste my money because cheap things are, usually, always expensive in the long run
I blame the clients who go to these « technicians » because no one forced them to go they are just chasing cheap service. No clients no technicians
When it comes to getting dental work done I don’t mind paying for a good dentist, I’d rather pay to get the job done right with minimal chance of side effects than pay less and end up getting a bad job with a huge chance of bad side effects from improper work.
This just seems so silly. I know some ppl are gullible, but the majority of ppl who go to veneer techs, scamming BBL techs, etc, know full well that they are risking their appearance and health. They literally only care about looking better to improve their confidence or social status but aren't willing to go the proper route. I feel bad for ppl with botched surgeries when they go to a licensed professional. But hard to feel bad for ppl trying to accelerate their social status for cheap. This is all cosmetic, no one needs perfect *looking* teeth or a BBL.
Whos more " misinformed " , those getting the. Certificate, or those paying for their work?
Both. In most cases you need to get the license after getting the certificate and if you can spend 80k on getting it done in someone’s basement you can go to an actual orthodontists and not “techs” people don’t realize that for most procedures you need to be put under anesthesia which only a professional is licensed to do.
The corset myths you mentioned ie it caused deformities are major lies and stem from one advertising campaign for bras that decided to villianze corsets and has been continued my actresses om Hollywood trying to prove they're such a feminist by continuing the bashing of the garment as that's what is expected of them.
Why don’t they just get their teeth straightened and whiten their teeth? It has to be cheaper than veneers. Is it because they want instant results?
Felons!!! 😫
I don’t feel sorry for the victims they should’ve done research before hiring a veneer tech just go to a dentist
eh i feel bad that insurance is so bad that people are desperate enough to go to such sketchy lengths. but yes they should be smarter and realize this is not worth it
Cosmetic Dentistry is expensive, so I understand why some people who may feel insecure about their teeth may opt for an inexpensive alternative these "veneer techs" offer.
@@v_bunny veneers have nothing to do with insurance. Veneers are cosmetic and not essential
@michellenicole678 I don’t feel sorry for these victims either, because they didn’t do any research whatsoever. But who in their right mind would even let an unlicensed veneer tech would let someone do their teeth. Now these victims have to pay the price and consequences. These people have lost their common sense.
@@diamonda3253 thanks for letting me know :) I do remember seeing a video about a girl getting braces from an unlicensed person, which my insurance did cover for me, so I still stand by what I said. Plus, there’s already too much hate in the world and these people aren’t gonna scroll through this comment section and think “yeah maybe they’re right”.
gas had lead , dyes cause cancer, so much of our products and foods are toxic... and people care way too much on looks and fitting in. my teeth ain't prefect but easy to find a job because of skill.
You remind me of Yvonne orgi ❤
People care way too much about having giant white teeth and a "mega watt" smile. Some people have smaller teeth, jaws and mouths in general. I effing refuse to do what it would take to have the American smile. And honestly no matter how much work done on it, I will not look like that. People's smiles are not meant to be uniform. Ugh I hate the expectations of this society. Be healthy! Nah, ya'll do not care! Be beautiful by a lazy and cheap society standard instead. Grow up people.
Sorry not sorry, the ppl going to these said “techs” need to hold themselves accountable too.
Sadly, I can see how some ppl resort to this. Dental clinics are not trustworthy, dental insurance is crap even with a buy up PPO plan and I HATE the upsell. They squeeze your dental insurance dry and want to sell you "deep cleanings/root scalings" not covered by insurance OR dental implants and ceramic crowns to become thousands out of pocket. Like, pls just give my my two yearly cleanings and xrays covered and don't shame me or have your "dental coordinator/money manager" hold me hostage in the chair with your light in my eyes.
just say no thank you.. it ain't hard
Dentists are untrustworthy but you’re willingly to trust people on an app? Interesting 💀💀
Doing things in the name of vanity 🤷🏽♂️😂
Girl you look like Beyoncé
Like just brush your dam teeth and use mouthwash
No they no gullible they JUST DONT HAVE THE MONEY SO THEY GO CHEAP AND SAY NOTHING GONNA HAPPEN EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING IT😂😂😂PEOPLE NEED TO DO RESEARCH B4 BUYING A FREAKIN CAR SO Y NOT FOR DENTAL WORK???😂😂😂😂😂
So glad i love myself
