Married At First Sight’s Matt Ridley shows off his $55,000 smile transformation

Married at First Sight star Matt Ridley has become the latest participant from the Channel Nine series to get a smile makeover.

The 39-year-old law clerk recently had $55,000 worth of dental work – and the results are impressive indeed.

Before and after photos show a dramatic change to his pearly whites, thanks to upper and lower veneers. 

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Monday, Matt said he couldn’t be happier with the results after having his teeth fixed at Vogue Dental Studios in Melbourne. 

‘I would be lying to you if I said I wasn’t scared. I had not been to a dentist in 23 years. I had not got any fillings. I had not gone to get any teeth whitening,’ he said.

‘The last time I was at a dentist I was 16 years of age and the noise and the smell and just the experience really took me back.’

Matt continued: ‘I think I’ve always had a good smile, but there has been times when I’ve lacked confidence because of the colour of my teeth.

‘I did have a few chips and marks, and when you have that, and when you have some discoloration of your natural teeth, you really need to look at doing something.’ 

Dentist-to-the-stars Dr Deepan Duraisamy, a.k.a. Dr Dee, said Matt ‘had a good smile but wanted a brighter, more perfect smile keeping his original teeth shapes’.

Dr Dee previously told Daily Mail Australia ‘it’s always a privilege’ to help his famous patients at Vogue Dental Studios.

Ridley is the latest star from this years season to rush to the dentist to have their smile restored. 

He joins co-star Selin Mengu and Jackson Lonie who have also have had their teeth fixed.
