City Makoti shares the real cost and process behind her new smile
There is something about a smile transformation that instantly gets people talking. In South Africa right now, that conversation belongs to City Makoti.
The popular content creator recently pulled back the curtain on her new teeth, sharing not just the results but the real story behind them. And in a social media space often filled with filtered perfection, that honesty struck a chord.
A glow-up that came with answers
Instead of simply posting the final look, City Makoti took her followers along for the journey. She explained how the process works, what it involves, and what it costs.
For many South Africans, cosmetic dentistry still feels like something that is not widely understood. So when someone openly discusses the price and the steps involved, it becomes more than just a beauty update.
Her breakdown gave followers a clearer idea of what to expect. From consultations to the actual procedure, she offered a look at something that is usually not openly discussed.
Why the internet loved it
The reaction was immediate. Comments poured in praising the results, with many saying her smile looked natural and well done. Others welcomed the openness around the experience.
City Makoti’s approach resonated with followers who appreciated seeing both the outcome and the explanation behind it. It sparked conversations in the comments about similar procedures and personal experiences.
The process behind the transformation
In her video, City Makoti explained that getting new teeth involves more than just a single appointment. The process includes consultations and preparation before the final result is achieved.
By walking people through it step by step, she gave a clearer understanding of what goes into a smile makeover.
@thecitymakoti I did my teeth at @SMiLeiNNoVA and I couldn’t be happier 🥹 This is something I’ve always wanted to do and I’m so grateful that I could finally do it. I hope I answered all your questions ♥️ Feel free to leave more questions in the comment section #compositebonding #johannesburg ♬ original sound – TheCityMakoti | Anika Dambuza

There is also a noticeable shift in how creators share their journeys online. More influencers are choosing to show the full process behind their transformations.

So, is it worth it
That depends on the individual. For some, it is a personal investment in confidence.
What City Makoti has done is open up a conversation by sharing her experience in a way that feels accessible and informative.
Her smile may be the headline, but the real impact lies in the openness that got people talking.
