A Manchester man named Jack James sought to improve his appearance on camera by fixing his crooked teeth. Unable to afford the high costs of dental procedures in the UK, he decided to travel to Istanbul and spend £3,000 on veneers in September of last year. Initially, he was pleased with the results, but in May, he began experiencing difficulties with flossing, bleeding gums, and bad breath. An emergency dentist in Manchester diagnosed him with an abscess and revealed that his teeth were in poor condition, with an estimated cost of £20,000 to fix. When the veneers were removed, James was shocked to see that his teeth had been overly shaved down, giving him the appearance of a shark. He reached out to the Turkish clinic for assistance, but they denied any fault and demanded payment for the fix. They quoted him £4,500 for the procedure. Despite the lower price compared to the UK, James decided to return to Istanbul to have the veneers removed and replaced. However, one of the new veneers has already fallen out, leaving a gap in his teeth. James is now sharing his story to warn others about the risks of seeking dental treatments abroad. He advises doing thorough research before making such decisions. Seeking cheaper surgical procedures abroad has become popular, especially with the combination of cosmetic surgery and a holiday. Turkey has become a popular destination for Brits in search of affordable dental treatments, leading to the rise of the “Turkey teeth” trend. These procedures often involve filing down natural teeth and replacing them with crowns or veneers. Recently, some individuals have resorted to using unconventional methods, such as shoelaces and pliers, to remove their decaying teeth due to the inability to see their own dentist. The cost of NHS dentistry has increased significantly, with Band 3 now reaching £306.80. Private dentists can charge between £20 and £120 for check-ups and up to £2,520 for dentures and bridges, according to consumer group Which?
