Woman looked like 'a horse' with 'piano key' teeth after botched dental op

A young woman who flew to Iran for some discount dental work was gutted as her teeth were left looking 'like piano keys'.

Aida Azizii, 26, decided to travel to Tehran on May 7 and opted to have composite bonding as it was a bargain at just £550 for 19 teeth.

But after six hours in the dentist's chair, Aida says the procedure was a disaster as she was left with teeth that didn't match and she could barely close her mouth.

The project manager said that even her voice changed as a result of the botched procedure, and now she has shared her ordeal online to warn others.

What do you think about Aida's ordeal? Let us know in the comments...

Aida, from London, explains: "Iran is known for cosmetic procedures and is cheaper than Turkey.

"I was very trusting of this new doctor that I had been recommended. I didn't see any social media accounts, I just booked it there and then and he did it in one appointment, which I should have seen as a red flag initially.

"The composite bonding procedure cost £550 in total for 19 teeth to be done.

"When the procedure started, the dentist was still busy with another patient so his dental assistant started the work, she reassured me and kept telling me to trust her as she always does it and that it's her job.

Thankfully her teeth have now been fixed (Tiktok - aida_azizii/ CATERS NEWS)

"In Iran, they love bright white teeth but I just wanted a natural white colour. Although she insisted she would give me a really nice bright white colour and that it would dull down over a year.

"She chose the whitest colour I had ever seen. They were like piano keys.

"She only did the four bottom teeth and then had to leave, so then the doctor finally took over."

Aida made an impulsive decision whilst visiting family in Iran to get composite bonding on her teeth as she knew it was cheaper than UK and Turkey.

Aida adds: "When we finished, I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe what he had done. I resembled a horse. They were way too big but he told me I would just get used to them.

"I wasn't even able to eat because my back teeth weren't touching and the tip of my tongue was sore as it was hitting the back of my teeth because the composite wasn't bonded properly together.

"My lips became so dry because I couldn't close my mouth and my voice had changed too.

"I had to go back after a few days and get them shaved down a little more, I was in so much pain and there was so much pressure on my front teeth.

"Again, the doctor was busy so the assistant had to fix them, still telling me I could trust her, I reluctantly let her work on my teeth again, I was just in so much pain.

"I then found another doctor whilst still in Iran. He couldn't believe how badly they had been done and asked me how long the previous doctor had been a doctor for, but I wasn't sure.

"I was told that because they were so big and all pressure was on my front teeth if I had left them untreated, my natural teeth would have eventually fallen out. He changed everything but the colour and he even compared them to chalk.

"Luckily my teeth are fine now, just very white.

"It cost me an additional £200 but I'm so glad I have saved my teeth from falling out.

"Looking back, I don't even think the first man I went to was a doctor.

"I guess I didn't look for a certificate so it was me being stupid but at least it was just composite bonding and not veneers so my natural teeth weren't shaved down."
