Married at First Sight Australia 2022‘s Jackson Lonie has confessed his new set of teeth cost a helluva lot of money, and holy sh*t, influencer lyf must pay well!
Since appearing in the marriage experiment, the 32-year-old has undergone extensive dental work to refine his smile, including veneers and Invisalign treatment.
In a chat with 2Day FM’s Hughesy, Ed & Erin on November 22, Jackson said he gained a sh*t-ton of “confidence” following the makeover.
“Getting veneers, I’ve just had so much more confidence. [My] shoulders are back a lot more [straight], and I’ve got a bit of swagger in my step,” he confessed.
He explained that the procedure wasn’t cheap due to having “a fair bit done”, admitting that the bill was in the “high thousands”.
“Almost $10,000, is that fair to say?” Dave Hughes questioned.
“It’s north of that,” Jackson countered. “It’s an expensive smile.”
He also said his top row veneers took five weeks to finish, while his Invisalign on the bottom row of teeth took roughly 20 weeks to straighten.
Why Did Married at First Sight‘s Jackson Lonie Undergo Dental Work?
Like all MAFS stars-turned-influencers, the ex-plumber enlisted Dr Dee at Vogue Dental Studios to apply the Picasso Porcelain Veneers in May.
And TBH, he must’ve done a ripper job because Jackson reckons no damage has come to his new chompers, despite chewing on gobstoppers!
With the dental work reported to cost approximately $24,000, the Melburnian told the Daily Mail Australia that he “always kind of wanted to get [his] teeth done”.
Always “a little bit insecure” about his overlapping front teeth, Jackson said his jaw would have needed to be broken had he chosen to get braces.
“Getting veneers was just the next step, I guess,” he said.
Dr Dee has refined many other MAFS stars’ looks, including Jessika Power, Patrick Dwyer and Bryce Ruthven.
