Former boxing world champion Chris Eubank is spending around £30,000 on new teeth, with the added bonus that the new teeth will help him get rid of his trademark lisp.

Eubank is reported to be having cosmetic dentistry performed on his teeth to close the gap between his two front teeth and to help improve the aesthetic nature of his smile. The dentist who will be performing the work is Barry Buckley from the Clane General Hospital in Country Kildare.

Eubank has already had a trial version of his new teeth fitted and these teeth are said to have substantially improved his lisp already. Assuming Eubank is happy with the trial teeth, a porcelain version will then be made and fitted.

Although the actual cost of the cosmetic dentistry is not known, experts in the industry believe that Eubank will be paying around £30,000 for the dentistry work.
