Turkey teeth are the new norm?

[Itsalittlebitwarm]

Having watched interviews from the 1980s and 1990s when they had perfect natural teeth and the comments why are they so yellow?

Is it really becoming a thing to have bright white teeth? I've noticed it more that indeed many people I meet, all ages, have these unnatural gloss.

Personally, when I see this, my reaction is nice but it doesn't make a difference unless for medical reasons. In fact I think it's quite a common view that has become a bit mocking.

I'm not saying with any form of malice, just it's so obvious.

Recently house sat for a dentist who is/ was appalled at the number of people who have been to turkey to get implants ( not like here process which takes months) but four in a row put in all at once cos cheaper. Hugely unregulated sector some absolute horror stories about when it goes wrong/ infection develops/ bite is asymmetric etc

I really hope it doesn't become the norm, it's not a good look!

I agree that the natural look is much nicer, although orthodontic work can make a hugely positive difference. It did for me. I do whiten mine from time to time but other than that I have no plans to get anything done to them unless a dentist recommends it!

‘Turkey Teeth’ are when people go to Turkey to get cheap dental veneers. They are usually perfectly uniform, absolutely enormous and a shade of white so bright you can see them from a long distance away. In Liverpool they’re not an unusual sight. My exH had them over 25 years ago, hence his nickname “Ross”. They have become very popular lately.

Agree! My DF use to have a pair of joke teeth that he’d slip in unexpectedly and we’d fall about laughing, and whenever I see pics of Katie Price that’s all I see!

That sounds so creepy. Yuck.

I've just spent a lot of money on dentures (historical upper jaw trauma, won't detail as DV) and the most important thing to me was natural looking colour. I'm really, really happy with them- matching to my lower teeth took the clinician a while but very white would look totally wrong on me.

See this just isn’t true. Well done composite bonding or true elegant veneers can’t be detected easily. The massive crowns they’re fitting badly in Turkey are not good dentistry.
