Unlicensed Veneer Tech Arrested in Pinellas Park After Patients Report Complications: Police
Emely Martinez, 35, faces multiple charges after performing unlicensed dental veneer procedures using nail glue, causing infections and costly emergency dental treatments for clients, police said.
- Authorities in Pinellas Park arrested Emely M. Martinez, 35, on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, taking her into custody without incident after she allegedly operated an illegal dental business at 9150 49th Street North.
- Detectives say their probe began in June after multiple victims reported complications from dental work, and Martinez advertised low-cost full-mouth veneer makeovers at the Tapp Inn Beauty Bar in Pinellas Park.
- Investigators allege she used cyanoacrylate, or "crazy glue", to affix veneers, with licensed dentists warning repairs can cost $50,000 to $80,000 and cause irreversible harm.
- She now faces criminal charges including scheme to defraud and unlicensed practice; the Florida Department of Health was notified, and authorities urge anyone affected to seek care from a qualified dentist.
- Records show she was arrested in March in Hillsborough County for similar offenses; investigators allege Martinez used multiple business names to conceal the scheme, prompting calls for stricter regulations and public awareness.
