A WOMAN looks unrecognisable after she got dentures at 23 when she lost her teeth – now people can't believe the way she used to look.
Faith Hill lost all of her teeth during a six-year addiction to meth but is now glowing with a new set of dentures.
Now a social media influencer, Faith, from Missouri, was just 14 when she first had meth and it took until July 2020 for her to shake off the bad habit.
In August 2021, she underwent surgery to have her decaying teeth removed and got new ones fitted in November of the same year.
Two years on from being sober and Faith can finally smile with pride after hiding her teeth for years.
She's now loving her new look.

"I had no salvageable teeth, so I decided to have them all pulled out and went toothless," she said.
"Seeing myself with dentures for the first time was so shocking. I had to practice how to smile as it had been so long.
"I didn't know how to move my mouth around. Now I look back at my addiction self, and I don't recognise her. I'm a completely different person now."
Faith said her addiction left her caged inside hotels or homes when she was not living on the streets.

But after going to rehab, she decided to fix her teeth.
"They were awful. I hadn't smiled in years because of my teeth," she said.
Faith applied for a grant to remove her teeth and also had a friend on Facebook pitch in to help get dentures.
"When I saw myself with teeth again for the first time it was so surreal," she said.
"My friend was so gracious in paying for them and just said 'I just want you to smile again in return'.
"Now I have an even better new set which make me feel so confident. Now I love to smile."
She hopes she can break the stigma around young people using dentures.
She said: "People think it's only old people with dentures. But lots of young people have them for loads of different reasons.
