LEANNE ABEYANCE, 40, MAY HAVE TO FORK OUT £45,000 TO FIX HER TEETH AFTER SHE CLAIMS TURKEY TEETH TREATMENT HAS LEFT HER IN THE "WORST PAIN OF HER LIFE." 14:54, 05 Jun 2025 A mum

who said her face collapsed after a botched dental operation in Turkey has described how it has been the "worst pain of her life." Leanne Abeyance, 40, from Telford, had flown to

Turkey to swap out her 13-year-old veneers with a fresh set of implants, claiming that upon dentist recommendation she had a sinus lift, bone grafts, eight implants in the top of her mouth,

and seven on the bottom. The DJ said she had her teeth taken out, with screws and implants put in their place. Two days after the first stage of the dental treatment, she had temporary teeth

inserted. Leanne flew back home to the UK, expecting to wait another five months before heading back to Turkey to have her permanent teeth fitted. READ MORE: COUPLE TAKE LEGAL ACTION

there was nothing else which could be done. Leanne claimed a scan at a private dentist showed the operation she had in Turkey had caused two implants to pierce her nose. She recounted her

experience: “I’m in the worst pain of my life and I’m in and out of A&E. “I can’t even touch my face. It feels like broken glass being smashed in my face and smeared around. I’ve been in

a flood of tears. “My face has collapsed. I'll never have a nice smile. At the minute, I don’t have any teeth in, just screws sticking out. The pain is worse than childbirth.” The

mum-of-two said she chose to get her dental treatment done abroad due to it being a fraction of the price than it was in the UK. She paid £3,000 at her first appointment, and was due to pay

another £5,000 at her next visit. If she had opted to complete the work in the UK, it would have set her back £40,000. The Midlands local said: “When the first lot of injections went in and

they started to remove my teeth, I could feel everything. I had about 25 injections in six hours. The sinus lift felt like they were hammering something up my nose. “It was like a horror

movie that I was fully awake for. I got picked up and taken back to a nice hotel where fellow customers were there having the same done. "I was on the phone to my friends and family

crying my eyes out because I was in so much pain and there on my own. “You can't eat because your mouth is so swollen and there are screws sticking out so I was starving.“ Leanne added

by the time she had reached the airport in Turkey to go back home, she was suffering in pain, but she was still happy about her new teeth. She said: “I had my denture cemented in and I

couldn't have been happier, in pain but still smiling. In the airport, my face started to hurt so much I was literally buying cups of ice and putting them on my face. “My face was black

and blue like I'd been in a huge fight. In the UK, I thought it was all worth it because it was the start of a perfect smile and feeling pretty. Four months later, I'm starting to

get bad headaches, toothache where there are no teeth, and sinus problems which I'd never had before. “I was constantly in and out of the doctors and given antibiotics, but nothing was

clearing it. I got hospitalised overnight on an IV feed. A few weeks back, I was in the worst pain of my life going back and forth to A&E where they couldn’t do anything. “I went to a

private dentist called Droitwich Dental Studio in March and had a full 4D scan of my head by Dr Aurie and AJ. They said one implant pierced through my sinuses and the other is in my nose.”

privately. The woman's dentist has reportedly told her it could cost up to £45,000 to repair the damage to her mouth, and it may involve her implants being removed and refitted. Leanne

added: “The pain I'm in is excruciating. It's not as easy as walk in, walk out to the perfect smile like celebrities say. “There’s no such thing as the perfect white smile. I’m not

asking for sympathy or anything for free. Now it's a waiting game. My dentist in Droitwich has been great and I’ll be using them again in the future. Article continues below “I’m ready

to have them all cut out and have horrible dentures, but hopefully it will stop the pain I’m in. I can't work, my face swells up, I get bad headaches, nose bleeds, mood swings and my

mental health through the roof. I’ve lost two stone in weight and I feel like I'm failing as a mother to my two beautiful daughters. “I don’t want to be seen in public. My mental health

is severely suffering, I can't DJ, I can't be my happy, lively self and can't even do a caravan holiday with the kids. It’s been the worst year of my life. I just want it to

be over.”
