Three notes:
1. Veneer techs are people who are not licensed to practice dentistry, but have instead completed a two-day training course to illegally place veneers on patients. Veneer techs often use nail supplies like acrylic to create veneers or buy kits off retail sites like Amazon because these sites do not check National Provider Identifiers.
2. The federal dental agency released a statement May 14 explaining the risks associated with visiting unlicensed individuals for dental services.
3. The ADA also updated MouthHealth.org, its public education site, to provide more information about veneers and how patients can check their provider’s license.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
