Woman replaces teeth with £8,000 implants in Turkey after gum disease struggles

Hayley Debra Potter, 57, from Derby, had all her teeth removed and replaced with implants in Turkey, costing £8,000. She lost over half her teeth to gum disease and had not smiled in years due to their condition. The procedure involved removing 13 remaining teeth and inserting ten implants. Potter experienced swelling and bruising post-surgery but reported no pain. She will wear dentures for six months while healing before receiving crowns and bridges. Since returning to the UK, Potter has expressed joy over her new smile, stating it has significantly boosted her confidence. She is currently on a soft-food diet until her implants fully heal.
