Unlicensed Dental Work: A Risky Gamble with Your Smile

The Shocking Consequences of Botched Dental Procedures

Dr. Catrise Austin has firsthand experience with the devastating impact of unlicensed dental work. She recently treated a patient, Keeyah J., who had sought affordable veneers from multiple veneer techs across the country. Keeyah's ordeal was a harrowing one, as she spent thousands of dollars and endured months of excruciating pain. The result was a severe gum infection, cracked and fallen veneers, and pus oozing from her gums. "It was heartbreaking to see what Keeyah went through," Dr. Austin shared. "The infection was so severe that I had to prescribe antibiotics, remove the improperly placed veneers, and allow her gums to heal for a month before providing her with the beautiful, permanent smile she deserved. This was the result of individuals who cared more about making money than the safety of their patients."
