She told The Sun: "I am happy to finally have gotten my tooth fixed.

"Now I have to watch the fat cakes so it doesn't break again."

She finally decided to get it fixed - and she and boyfriend Geno both underwent dental work in Orlando, Florida.

Cosmetic dentist Dr. Matthew Yantorni from Lake Nona Dental Group said: "June came to our office having lost a porcelain veneer off her front tooth.

"The veneer had been missing for an extended period of time, perhaps up to a year from patient’s recollection.

"Because the veneer was gone for so long, the tissue had become overgrown and no longer symmetric to the tooth next door.

"June, like many people is not a big fan of dentist, but was an extremely great patient throughout the entire process, including the dreaded anesthetic shot."

He continued: "We first had to make some adjustments to the gum tissue to make sure that when new veneer was placed, it would be symmetric with the tooth next door.

"We used a dental laser to contour the gum tissue until we were satisfied. We chose the laser for this because it is very gentle to the tissue and heals extremely fast, with minimal discomfort."

June's new tooth was then created by a state of the art CEREC machine, which takes a 3D impression of the area, creates a temporary tooth immediately, then uploads the file to the lab to create a permanent tooth.

She returned 48 hours later to have the permanent tooth cemented.
