'I looked like I'd chewed rocks': Mum's nightmare after veneers 'crumbled' and left her housebound for THREE YEARS

When Jade Simmons paid to get new veneers at a prestigious dental clinic in London, she couldn’t wait for her new smile. The 37-year-old, from Stockport, booked in for the procedure after spotting an advert for £1,699 veneers on Facebook.

The mum-of-three was excited about the transformation at the London clinic and looked forward to showing off her new pearly whites.

They examined her mouth and were reluctant to do any work due to the extent of the damage. The dentist told her she had three fractured teeth and a nerve that was severely damaged required an urgent root canal.

But having already spent months saving up for the initial treatment, single mum Jade was unable to find the cash to get them fixed.
