A mum left afraid to smile after having her teeth knocked out by an abusive ex says she can finally date again after getting them fixed in Turkey. Zoe Greenfield said that when she was around the age of nine she chipped her two front teeth after falling on some stone steps, so had big crowns fitted that she likened to 'fridge doors'.
But around six years ago, the 47-year-old claims she was punched in the face by an ex-partner who knocked out her two bottom teeth and loosened her top back ones, causing gaps to form. The mum-of-one said that despite getting dentures, the damage done made her feel so self-conscious that she'd cover her mouth with her hand or refuse to even smile.
After being quoted up to £30,000 to have them fixed in the UK, the primary school teaching assistant jetted off to Turkey last year for the procedures. Zoe had all of her top and bottom back teeth completely removed and replaced with implants before having all her top and bottom front teeth shaved down and crowns fitted.
