I splashed £5.8k on Turkey teeth – trolls say they are ridiculous & ‘too white’
A WOMAN has taken to social media to show off her new smile after she went abroad for a set of new teeth.
Beauty fan Billie Leigh Donogue, who posts on social media under the username @iamstillthatb_3x, explained that she flew to Turkey and paid £5,800 for a set of veneers.
Billie, one of many who have jetted off to Turkey to get their teeth done, took to TikTok to show off her new pearly whites as part of a trend that has been dubbed “Turkey teeth”.
The TikTok hashtag “#TurkeyTeeth” has reached more than 130 million views.
Several reality TV influencers and celebrities have also had their teeth done, including former Love Island star Jack Fincham and Katie Price.
The procedure of having veneers done can be aggressive and invasive to teeth.
They require almost 70% of your teeth to be filed down.
In the woman’s video, she shared an insight into her dental journey.
At the start of the clip, we saw her at the airport, as she said: “Come to Turkey with me.”
Once she arrived in Turkey, the blonde-haired beauty stopped off to get her hair done.
She then headed to the dentist and showed her teeth once they had been shaved down.
Following this, she smiled for the camera as she wore her temporary teeth.
But moments later, she showed off the finished look – a full set of bright white veneers.
In a follow-up clip, Billie opened up about her teeth and how much it cost.
She explained: “I had my top 12 and bottom 12 [teeth].
“I paid £5,800 – obviously it depends on the brightness and how many teeth you get but I have a wide mouth so I wanted the full 24 done.”
While Billie is pleased with her new smile, she later spoke out about the pain and confirmed: “I had 2 panic attacks, about 50 needles, 5 break downs and I’ve never felt pain like it.
“I’d rather have 10 bbls than that again but everyone’s diff.”
TikTok users were left gobsmacked at Billie’s teeth and while many thought they looked great, others weren’t so sure.
One person said: “They just look ridiculous. Nobody has teeth that white and straight. All the young idiots have the same teeth.”
Another added: “Not worth it.”
A third commented: “Looked better before.”
Someone else posted: “Nothing wrong with your teeth before 😳” to which Billie replied “I know but I wanted them done so I got them done 😊”
