A mum has been left hiding in her home after flying to Turkey to get veneers that left her looking “like a horse”.
Stacey Lewis jetted off to Turkey earlier this month to have her smile improved with a visit to a dentist.
She planned to have false teeth fitted but was left horrified when she saw the finished product because they were "too big" for her mouth.

They were also the wrong shade of white and now the 31-year-old won’t leave the house.
She told Liverpool Echo: "They're too big and I look like a horse. I've got two babies and I don't even want to go outside.
"My sister had to take them to school this morning. I had an overbite and when I went over for my consultation, they said that they can't fix it without a root canal which I said was fine. They say they've corrected it but they haven't.
"The front two teeth are just massive. I was there for six days and they only did the procedure the day before I was coming home. The day I was coming home I went back and said that they weren't what I wanted.
"They're not the shade, the size or what I want them to look like. In the end, I was asking them to just take them out and get temporary teeth. I even said I was going to get pliers and pull them out but they said it would ruin my gums.
"They're now saying it's my cost to get them fixed."
Stacey claims that the dentist, Sevil Smile Studio in Antalya, has quoted her another £4,000 (€4,547) to get the teeth changed but said it took her five years to get the original procedure done.
"If I go back over I have to pay to get them redone. I've been saving for years and I'm a single mum and they expect me to pay them to fix my teeth,” she said.
“I'm embarrassed and I'm just breaking down all the time. It's affecting my children because I can't stop crying.
"You come back expecting them to be amazing and they're worse than when I went. It looks like I've had them for years and I've been smoking and drinking.
“I was even asking people there and they said that it wasn't right. People told me that they don't look right.
"They're meant to be a zero, which is bright white, but mine didn't look like the other people's who were getting them done at the same time. I'm struggling to close my mouth because the teeth are that big.
"They are saying give it three months and it'll get better but they are not going to shrink."
A spokesman for Sevil Smile Studio said: "For reasons of confidentiality, we are unable to comment on the medical treatment of any individual patient, however, we always aim to provide the highest level of patient care possible.
“That remains the case and we are rightly proud of being one of the leading dental practices with many thousands of happy patients.
“All of our patients receive appropriate treatment and high quality service and we reject any suggestion otherwise."
