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).
Like I really can’t believe I just spent 150K on my new teeth! I hope these veneers come with advanced English Vocabulary for the next 20 years! I Love Dr Smile mara yoh I wish upon no one to experience 150K leaving their account in a blink of an eye. ????????

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.

Yoh Lasizwe ???? I can only imagine, I paid 8K for one lateral incisor three years ago. No regrets cause a good smile is worth it. ❤ Enjoy your new set ????
