I went to Turkey and forked out thousands for a new smile – cruel trolls say I’ve totally butchered my teeth
A MAN has revealed that he jetted abroad for a set of new teeth and is loving his fresh smile.
But while Lewis Davies is thrilled with his new gnashers, not everyone else is as impressed.
The 25-year-old, from The Midlands, is just one of many who has flown to Turkey and had his teeth done, in a trend that has proved extremely popular on social media and 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 veneers done, including former Love Island star Jack Fincham and Katie Price.
Lewis recently took to TikTok, where he posts under the username @lewisdavies555, to share a video detailing the process of getting his teeth done.
At the start of the clip, we saw Lewis sitting in the dentist’s chair, as he showed off his teeth, after having them shaved down.
Describing his shaved teeth as “shark teeth”, seconds later, we saw Lewis’ fresh “pearly whites” after the veneers were fitted.
Lewis beamed as he proudly showed off his new teeth, clearly impressed with his fresh smile.
Sharing a clip of his new teeth, Lewis confirmed: “They’re in”, alongside a heart eye emoji.
But he later added: “Still so numb, can’t move [my] face.”
Lewis’ clip has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 74,300 views.
It has 1,220 likes, 73 comments, 67 saves and 36 shares.
But social media users were stunned at Lewis’ smile and many were quick to express this in the comments.

Many thought that Lewis’ teeth were “too” white and others thought he would come to “regret” his decision.
One person noted: “They’re unnaturally white.”
Another added: “Should have gone a couple of shades less to look more natural.”
A third commented: “There’s a reason why British dentists refuse to do this. You’d get sued for thousands if you butchered teeth like this.”
Whilst someone else chimed in: “Gonna regret it one day.”
When asked about the price of his teeth, Lewis didn’t confirm how much he paid, but instead said: “Message them, price depends on what you need/have.”
However, the average price of getting veneers done in Turkey ranges from $2,300 [£1,860] to $5,700 [£4,600].
