The cast members of hit reality show The Only Way Is Essex are recognisable by their neon-orange tans, hairs extensions, cosmetic enhancements, and incredibly white veneers, and it seems Joey Essex is not one to be left out of the action. The twenty-one-year-old had his teeth done before Christmas, but has only recently stepped out to show the tabloids the results of his dental work, and he might be duly worried that he’s overdone it, if the reaction to his bright new smile is anything to go by.
Joey flashed is blinding gnashers at the paparazzi during a night out at the Aura Club in London, and then later attempted to divert attention from his pearly whites by leaving his Brentwood home the next morning in a red all-in-one with his name printed in big letters on the back. Unfortunately, even this fashion faux-pas wasn’t enough to disguise his enhanced smile; let’s hope he wasn’t going for the natural look.
Joey spoke to Now magazine in December, saying he planned on getting veneers fitted in time for the TOWIE Christmas special, ‘so they’ll be bright and white’. He splashed out more than £4,000 on dental improvements, but wasn’t keen on the idea of having his teeth reshaped, he ‘I’m not having them cut down or anything – that would hurt way too much.’ He then thanked The Hospital Group via Twitter, saying ‘Thanks to @hospitalgroupuk for my new Reem smile!’
