What Happened With Emely Martinez and the Veneers?
According to Fox 13 Tampa Bay, the investigation into the 35-year-old reportedly began in June. At the time, multiple victims had reported to police that they were experiencing “complications” from her dental work. In addition, victims allegedly told law enforcement that Martinez “refused to repair the work or provide refunds to them.”
Furthermore, the outlet notes that Martinez operated her business under the guise of providing licensed dentistry services to the public. Specifically, Martinez reportedly appeared as if she specialized in affordable veneer implants. During their investigation, authorities determined that Martinez did not have a license to practice dentistry in Florida.
Additionally, per an updated report from Fox 13 Tampa Bay, Martinez allegedly used “crazy glue” to attach the “fake veneers” on clients. Furthermore, many of whom were left with “infections,” “damaged teeth,” and in some cases “emergency dental work in order to save their teeth.”
What Are the Charges Against Emely Martinez?
On Wednesday, August 20, Emely Martinez was arrested and charged with multiple charges, per Fox 13 Tampa Bay. These reportedly included “scheme to defraud,” two counts of “practicing dentistry without an active license,” “misdemeanor warrant for failure to appear,” “misdemeanor warrant for violation of probation,” “unlawful possession of a personal identification of another,” and a citation for being a “habitual traffic offender.” The updated Fox 13 Tampa Bay report notes that Martinez was also arrested in March for unlicensed dental work.
Despite this, she apparently continued to perform the services at her place of business. Per The Independent, additional victims are being urged to contact the Pinellas Park Police Department at 727-369-7864. Lastly, the police are reportedly looking into claims that Martinez may have also performed work on children. They also believe she may have changed her name and operated her business under various aliases.
What Was the Viral Moment Involving Finesse2Tymes?
