The ‘Love Island look’: Dentist addresses the rise in ‘Turkey teeth’

John explained that patients often bring in photographs of celebrity smiles to demonstrate what they want their smiles to look like.

He said that patients often comment, "if you can't help me, I'm booking a trip to Turkey". John added, “When I do cosmetic work, people often come to me saying they want the 'Love Island look'. In Turkey they do it for much cheaper and faster upfront compared to the UK, so people go there.

"But they don't realise there can be real long-term damage using that method. When you get a full set of crowns, the teeth are permanently filed down to pegs - like that infamous Katie Price photo. It might be cheaper upfront, but people going to Turkey also don't think about having to get them restored every 10 to 15 years.
