It involves filing down a large percentage of each tooth and having them replaced with crowns
But Dr Hewitt has warned that the practice is more dangerous than it might seem. He said: “Young people often don’t realise that there can be real long-term damage jetting off abroad to places like Turkey for the cheaper dental treatments.“When you get a full set of crowns, the teeth are permanently filed down to pegs, so even though it might be cheaper upfront, people going to Turkey also don’t think about having to get them restored every 10 to 15 years.
He also blamed social media for the rise in young Brits heading abroad for cheap dental work where procedures cost as little as £3,000, compared to the £16,000 mark in the UK. He said: “Seeing celebrities smiling with perfect teeth on social media is a major influence on young people. They often come to me saying they want the ‘Love Island look’. In Turkey, they do it for much cheaper and faster compared to the UK, so people go there. But they don’t realise there can be real long-term damage using that method.”
