Lasizwe gets a new R150K smile

The reality star spoiled himself with a new set of veneers installed by celebrity dentist Dr Alexander Faizi Yousssefián-Rawháni.


Reality TV star and social media sensation Lasizwe Dambuza has left fans in disbelief after revealing that he paid a whopping R150,000 for a new smile.

Yup. R150,000 for a set of new gnashers installed by celebrity dentist Dr Alexander Faizi Yousssefián-Rawháni (aka Dr Smile, Lex Leo).

This sparked a conversation among Lasizwe’s fans about the cost of veneers and other dental work as well as the pain of seeing debit orders leave your account.

One follower tried to kill Lasizwe’s buzz by insinuating he was lying but Lasizwe quickly shut down the hate with a video filmed during his procedure.

Although Dr Yousssefián-Rawháni is South Africa’s dentist to the stars, he is also a rapper, jeweller, philanthropist and part-time lecturer.

He has worked with famous faces such as Boity Thulo (and her mom Modiehi), DJ Maphorisa, Pearl Thusi, Maps Maponyane and Pearl Thusi, to name a few.
