A shocking case out of the Chicago suburbs is raising serious concerns after multiple patients accused a woman posing as a dentist of performing dangerous dental procedures that allegedly left victims with damaged teeth, fake braces, and long-term oral health issues.

According to reports from cbsnews.com and other local investigations, the woman operated under the name “The Veneer Experts” in the Schaumburg area despite allegedly having no dental license. Patients claim they trusted viral TikTok and Facebook promotions advertising veneers, braces, and smile makeovers at discounted prices.

Several victims say the procedures quickly turned into a nightmare.

One patient reportedly woke up with a chipped tooth after receiving veneers, while another discovered the braces installed on her teeth were essentially fake and incapable of moving teeth properly. Licensed dentists who later examined the work said some of the materials used appeared unsafe and potentially damaging to gums and enamel.

The controversy exploded online after allegations surfaced comparing the methods used to “Gorilla Glue dentistry,” with critics accusing the suspect of using improper bonding materials and unsafe techniques. While officials have not confirmed Gorilla Glue itself was used, the phrase quickly spread across social media as frustrated patients shared their experiences.

Authorities say the suspect now faces felony charges related to practicing dentistry without a license in Illinois. Investigators also discovered she had previously faced similar accusations in Nevada before allegedly reopening operations near Chicago.

Dental experts warn consumers to always verify licenses before agreeing to cosmetic dental work, especially services promoted heavily through TikTok or Instagram.

The viral case has sparked outrage online, with many calling for stricter oversight on unlicensed cosmetic dental businesses operating through social media platforms.

As the investigation continues, several former clients say they are now facing thousands of dollars in corrective dental procedures just to repair the damage.
