00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.428
I’m Going to school to become a veneer tech.

00:00:03.281 --> 00:00:12.131
Oh, my God, bro, oh hell, no, no, oh hell, no, stop it, get some help.

00:00:15.541 --> 00:00:20.393
I'm Kiki Ayers and I am a victim of the veneer villain Good evening guys.

00:00:20.739 --> 00:00:25.989
My name is Dr Trevor Jamal Thomas, board member of the United Council of Cosmetic Dentists.

00:00:25.989 --> 00:00:35.542
We, the collective, would like to share with you a few reasons why we unequivocally oppose such actions dubbed value veneers.

00:00:36.061 --> 00:00:42.307
I'm Dr A and we have heard all the buzz about the veneer techs, about the veneer test.

00:00:42.307 --> 00:00:46.051
Let me tell you this is not a real job.

00:00:46.051 --> 00:00:48.152
This is not a real profession.

00:00:48.152 --> 00:01:02.081
To do veneer, you must complete an eight-year dental course that requires you to go to school that's right for eight years.

00:01:02.081 --> 00:01:03.241
You cannot learn all this in a two-day course.

00:01:03.241 --> 00:01:06.165
This is actually highly illegal to impersonate a doctor of any kind.

00:01:06.165 --> 00:01:10.888
It is highly illegal to do procedures that are qualified only by a licensed doctor.

00:01:11.108 --> 00:01:11.730
Hey, what's up y'all?

00:01:11.730 --> 00:01:12.409
It's Dr Q.

00:01:12.409 --> 00:01:16.072
Everybody has been asking about veneer breath, like is that a thing?

00:01:16.072 --> 00:01:17.153
Why is it a thing?

00:01:17.153 --> 00:01:17.875
And it's a thing?

00:01:17.875 --> 00:01:19.897
Because people are going to unlicensed dentists.

00:01:19.897 --> 00:01:32.094
They're not taking care of the underlying issue, which is why it's important that you go to a restorative dentist to ensure that you're taking care of your teeth prior to placing any type of cosmetic or aesthetic restorations.

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:48.606
Here's a big red flag, guys Whenever you see a business that goes by teeth, by veneers, by smiles, by, and it's not being offered by a licensed dentist in a dental office, it's not a good idea.

00:01:48.606 --> 00:01:50.126
Don't do it.

00:01:50.126 --> 00:01:52.969
Hey guys, it's Dr Catrice Austin.

00:01:52.969 --> 00:02:12.310
We're doing a live episode of the let's Talk Smiles podcast, and I am really excited about this topic because there have been a few stories out there, guys, about people going to these veneer techs veneer tech.

00:02:12.310 --> 00:02:16.163
I don't even know what a veneer tech is, how they came about.

00:02:16.163 --> 00:02:19.069
Who's teaching the veneer techs to be veneer techs?

00:02:19.069 --> 00:02:29.543
But all I know is that there have been several stories out there in the news, from Chicago to from East Coast to West Coast, to the Midwest.

00:02:29.543 --> 00:02:35.801
There are stories popping up everywhere about these veneer techs harming patients.

00:02:36.282 --> 00:02:50.245
And at some point, guys, we got to, we got to really start to talk about this because, hey, handbags 1017, hello New York deuces, my former patient, my former driver, my boy.

00:02:50.245 --> 00:02:52.950
Listen, it's got to come to an end.

00:02:52.950 --> 00:02:54.193
It is very scary.

00:02:54.193 --> 00:02:55.782
Yes, faces by pureness.

00:02:55.782 --> 00:03:01.923
This is getting really scary because I know you guys are out there and you want beautiful smiles.

00:03:01.923 --> 00:03:05.772
I know this and I know that it is expensive.

00:03:05.772 --> 00:03:10.669
Nothing that is a value and your smile is one of your most valuable assets.

00:03:10.669 --> 00:03:16.026
Nothing of value really comes cheap and we know that you get what you pay for.

00:03:16.026 --> 00:03:38.711
And so because in the last five to six years, veneers have become super popular maybe I helped contribute to that, making over Cardi B's smiles and her rapping about it but in the last like five or six years, there have been so many people requesting veneers, people who don't have any business getting veneers.

00:03:38.711 --> 00:03:49.506
You can't have gum disease, you can't have cavities, and I posted a video yesterday of a veneer tech that actually put veneers on teeth that had obvious tartar.

00:03:49.506 --> 00:03:51.544
Right, melissa the tartar slayer.

00:03:51.544 --> 00:03:55.067
You can see the visible tartar, you can see the black decay.

00:03:55.580 --> 00:03:59.472
And all of these people out here think that doing veneers is just easy.

00:03:59.472 --> 00:04:04.092
You just slap some material on the teeth and voila, you have a new smile.

00:04:04.092 --> 00:04:05.463
No, baby girl.

00:04:05.463 --> 00:04:07.521
Handbags 10, 17.

00:04:07.521 --> 00:04:08.664
That's right.

00:04:09.907 --> 00:04:21.944
I went to school for four years undergrad, four years of dental school, and for the people who are out there doing fake braces in Instagram TikTok braces the orthodontist actually go to school.

00:04:21.944 --> 00:04:24.307
An extra, like three years, handbags.

00:04:24.307 --> 00:04:26.531
How long did you go to your orthodontist?

00:04:26.531 --> 00:04:30.687
How much extra schooling, how much total schooling that you go through.

00:04:30.687 --> 00:04:31.891
It's a lot.

00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:42.012
And so these little teeth by Sherry, teeth by Nicole, all of y'all think y'all can do these teeth and you can't and it's illegal.

00:04:42.012 --> 00:04:44.776
You are causing harm to these people.

00:04:44.776 --> 00:04:47.045
Yes, I'm that.

00:04:47.045 --> 00:04:51.540
Ashley says they are portraying as dentists because that's illegal.

00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:56.065
It is illegal but unfortunately, guys, there's no regulations like.

00:04:56.185 --> 00:05:00.694
I get these calls all the time from people who went to a veneer tech.

00:05:00.694 --> 00:05:13.716
They got their whole sets of veneers done for like twenty five hundred five thousand dollars, where the normal licensed dentist might charge a thousand to $3,000 per tooth.

00:05:13.716 --> 00:05:19.939
I know there's a huge price difference, but you are going to pay the price sooner or later.

00:05:19.939 --> 00:05:29.713
If you're getting a cheap price now and it's not getting done properly, they're putting these veneers over cavities and gum disease or they're ruining your bite.

00:05:29.713 --> 00:05:30.180
They're not.

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:34.584
They don't even have the knowledge to know how your bite should close down.

00:05:34.584 --> 00:05:36.728
You are going to end up paying twice.

00:05:37.331 --> 00:05:46.201
So I am really out here writing books, doing podcasts, trying to get you guys to understand that this is your mouth, this is your health.

00:05:46.201 --> 00:05:49.488
You cannot play around with your smile.

00:05:49.488 --> 00:05:55.307
Showing up at hair salons should have been the first red flag and make you walk back out the door.

00:05:55.307 --> 00:05:59.942
I know, I know it is like it doesn't even go together.

00:05:59.942 --> 00:06:06.254
I'm going to go get my teeth done by my beauty, my, my hair, my hairstylist.

00:06:06.254 --> 00:06:10.889
I'm going to go get my teeth done by my fashion stylist.

00:06:10.889 --> 00:06:21.600
There's one in Philadelphia that's doing I think he does Patti LaBelle and some other artists, but he's now doing teeth.

00:06:22.141 --> 00:06:29.466
I'm just saying Columbia charges way less than the USA and you want to know why they are able to.

00:06:29.466 --> 00:06:33.685
They are not actually using real people to make your teeth.

00:06:33.685 --> 00:06:41.545
They are using either composite resin, which is a cheaper material, or they're making your teeth in a machine.

00:06:41.545 --> 00:06:52.574
And, yes, when things are made by a machine and mass produced which is why they all look like the white big chickleties that you guys see all the time it's like one size fits all.

00:06:52.574 --> 00:06:55.122
That's what you're paying for.

00:06:55.122 --> 00:07:14.648
So if you don't care about the artistic portion of your smile and making them look real, well then, yes, you could go to Colombia, mexico, turkey, name some other Dominican Republic and you can pay $1 thousand dollars for your whole mouth and it's going to look like the picture that I posted yesterday.

00:07:14.648 --> 00:07:16.130
Do not be surprised.

00:07:16.432 --> 00:07:20.372
Now I'm not saying cause I get, uh, I get talked about all the time.

00:07:20.372 --> 00:07:31.634
Um, I'm not saying that there are no good dentists in Columbia or Mexico, turkey there are but y'all continuously go to the ones that charge the light.

00:07:31.634 --> 00:07:36.548
Exactly, they get the CAD cam, uh veneers.

00:07:36.548 --> 00:07:38.432
They're made by a machine.

00:07:38.432 --> 00:07:43.605
Y'all are going to the ones that continuously ruin your smiles and that is.

00:07:43.605 --> 00:07:44.747
It's just a mistake.

00:07:44.747 --> 00:07:48.206
You see them making mistakes on the internet all the time.

00:07:48.206 --> 00:07:49.952
You saw King Harris.

00:07:49.952 --> 00:07:59.000
You've seen a whole bunch of people go to a very popular dentist in Columbia and every single time you get what you pay for.

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:00.884
Melissa the Tartar Slayer.

00:08:00.884 --> 00:08:06.904
You're going to get those chiclet, too white, too big, too square teeth, I'm sorry.

00:08:07.045 --> 00:08:10.091
So I have come up with a guide.

00:08:10.091 --> 00:08:20.821
You guys, if you guys want to find out the affordable places in the United States that do quality work, I came up with a whole guide that you guys can download.

00:08:20.821 --> 00:08:23.649
It is on my website, vip smilescom.

00:08:23.649 --> 00:08:30.125
It's called affordable dental care in the USA and I give you five ways.

00:08:30.125 --> 00:08:31.670
You can get your veneers done.

00:08:31.670 --> 00:08:33.402
You can get your implants done.

00:08:33.402 --> 00:08:36.889
You can get your clear aligners done.

00:08:36.889 --> 00:08:41.447
You can get your checkups and cleanings Some of the places I put in there for free.

00:08:41.447 --> 00:08:45.581
Yes, there are some organizations that have free dental days.

00:08:45.682 --> 00:08:56.490
So I'm trying to tell y'all that you don't have to do this illegal dental work and go to people who are doing illegal dental work to get your smiles.

00:08:56.490 --> 00:09:01.432
Graceful Smile Dental Spa says they are damn near practicing dentistry.

00:09:01.432 --> 00:09:04.009
They're not damn near practicing dentistry.

00:09:04.009 --> 00:09:05.966
They are practicing dentistry.

00:09:05.966 --> 00:09:08.942
They're getting supplies off the internet.

00:09:08.942 --> 00:09:10.923
They are taking the.

00:09:10.923 --> 00:09:19.268
They're going to YouTube university and they are getting these people to pay their hard earned money.

00:09:19.568 --> 00:09:20.028
And here's the.

00:09:20.028 --> 00:09:21.769
Here's the part that bothers me.

00:09:21.769 --> 00:09:30.316
I get the calls, dr Mira gets the calls, dr Trev gets the calls, dr Rose gets the the calls.

00:09:30.316 --> 00:09:37.868
Dr Gauss gets the calls when it goes wrong and y'all want us to come in and fix it.

00:09:37.868 --> 00:09:43.144
And y'all kind of want us to fix it for free, because you done spent all your money with them folks.

00:09:43.144 --> 00:09:52.182
Well, unfortunately we are here to save the day with caution, because you know we don't know what we're signing up for when we take over someone's mess.

00:09:52.182 --> 00:10:01.488
But some of us have a heart and some of us will do it, and you got to know that it is going to cost for us to remove what they did.

00:10:01.488 --> 00:10:06.888
It's going to cost you guys to pay for a new set of veneers to have them done right.

00:10:06.888 --> 00:10:12.466
So not only are you paying for it once, you're paying for it twice, and I don't want you guys to do that.

00:10:12.466 --> 00:10:14.607
I care about you guys so much.

00:10:14.607 --> 00:10:16.727
I don't want you guys to do that.

00:10:16.727 --> 00:10:18.826
I worked in Frontier Dental Lab.

00:10:18.826 --> 00:10:19.763
You know we do.

00:10:19.763 --> 00:10:21.408
Frontier is the bombcom.

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.986
Hello, noreen Francis, another one of my patients that made the right choice.

00:10:26.986 --> 00:10:33.783
She made the right choice and she also took advantage of some of the places where you could go to save.

00:10:33.783 --> 00:10:37.354
So I love Noreen because she is wise.

00:10:37.354 --> 00:10:41.368
She makes wise, informed decisions for her and her family.

00:10:41.368 --> 00:10:45.802
So where she could save, she's going to save or her family members are going to save.

00:10:45.802 --> 00:10:49.990
But when it comes to that cosmetic stuff, she's not playing games.

00:10:49.990 --> 00:10:53.989
She is right in my chair, her husband right in my chair, yep.

00:10:53.989 --> 00:11:00.772
So I want you guys to make wise decisions and if you need help, I'm here to guide you on how you guys could do that.

00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:06.734
Now I did a poll yesterday and I asked should these veneer techs go to jail?

00:11:06.734 --> 00:11:11.389
They should go to jail, I think.

00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:24.751
I don't know what y'all think, but I think these people who are out here practicing uh, illegal dentistry should have their butts right in a jail cell or at least get a fine, at least have some kind of penalty.

00:11:24.751 --> 00:11:31.267
But right now our dental organizations are not really I don't know.

00:11:31.267 --> 00:11:32.609
We don't have the regulations.

00:11:33.070 --> 00:11:45.048
I am personally grace, graceful dental spa, graceful smiles, dentist, why are you with me Like we gotta, we gotta get some regulations going on here, because people are getting taken.

00:11:45.048 --> 00:11:47.701
They're getting taken for their money.

00:11:47.701 --> 00:11:58.024
They are going through mental trauma when they have to live with the smile where the teeth pop off the the the smile.

00:11:58.024 --> 00:12:01.659
They look in the mirror right after they're done and it's not what they envisioned.

00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:03.022
And then they are stuck.

00:12:03.022 --> 00:12:08.052
So I'm saying no, they heavenly smiles.

00:12:08.152 --> 00:12:11.504
Mobile dental says no, they should go straight to jail.

00:12:11.504 --> 00:12:14.068
Do not pass Go monopoly.

00:12:14.068 --> 00:12:15.952
A hundred percent, I'm with you.

00:12:15.952 --> 00:12:22.273
I did a, I did a poll yesterday asking should these people go to jail?

00:12:22.273 --> 00:12:29.572
And here are the results 90% of you guys who voted said they should go to jail.

00:12:29.572 --> 00:12:31.586
Let me give some horns for that.

00:12:31.586 --> 00:12:34.312
Yes, they should go to jail.

00:12:34.312 --> 00:12:36.662
There should be some legal ramifications.

00:12:36.662 --> 00:12:37.222
There should be.

00:12:37.222 --> 00:12:40.510
There should be civil charges, criminal charges.

00:12:40.510 --> 00:12:48.953
Come on, ada, american Dental Association, new York State Dental Association, all the associations out there.

00:12:48.953 --> 00:12:53.964
We're going to need some regulation because the basement veneers have got to stop.

00:12:53.964 --> 00:12:56.265
It really does so.

00:12:56.265 --> 00:13:00.350
Our mouth is a heavenly smiles.

00:13:00.470 --> 00:13:05.553
Mobile dental says our mouth is a key to good health care.

00:13:05.553 --> 00:13:06.595
You are correct.

00:13:06.595 --> 00:13:08.697
Let me give you some love for that.

00:13:08.697 --> 00:13:10.288
Give you some applause.

00:13:10.288 --> 00:13:10.999
You are correct.

00:13:10.999 --> 00:13:19.067
People underestimate the power of a smile and how important it is to have good dental work and to invest in your smile.

00:13:19.067 --> 00:13:25.063
Because you you get two sets and by the age of 12, you're down to your last set.

00:13:25.063 --> 00:13:40.147
So how you care for your smile is going to dictate your nutrition, your pain level, your comfort, your ability to eat certain foods, your ability to smile with confidence, your total health.

00:13:40.427 --> 00:13:56.703
That bacteria that's in your mouth like on that picture that I posted yesterday of the veneers that were done by somebody that wasn't a veneer dentist, an actual dentist there was tartar on the teeth and that tartar, that bacteria, travels through the bloodstream and it attacks.

00:13:56.703 --> 00:14:02.364
It attacks your vital organs, your heart, your brain, all of that, all of that.

00:14:02.364 --> 00:14:06.422
So when you are playing around with your mouth cause, you're trying to save a buck.

00:14:06.422 --> 00:14:08.506
You are getting these optional veneers.

00:14:08.506 --> 00:14:09.909
This only cosmetic.

00:14:09.909 --> 00:14:13.893
It's not a need, it's not a you must have type of thing.

00:14:13.893 --> 00:14:17.102
This is a cosmetic procedure and you're playing with your mouth.

00:14:17.764 --> 00:14:21.191
Listen, I'm just saying I'm here to help.

00:14:21.191 --> 00:14:42.724
