TikTok creator Bay Stone spent $20,000 on a second set of veneers to achieve a "bigger" and "brighter" smile
Her viral TikTok about the transformation, featuring a humorous caption, has amassed over 38.6 million views
Stone embraces the mixed reactions, saying she loves her teeth and encourages others to laugh at themselves
Bay Stone wanted to elevate her look. While the TikTok creator already had veneers, she wanted to go "bigger" and "brighter."
“This is actually my second set of veneers with the same dentist and I decided to go whiter and brighter with my smile. I have such small natural teeth, I told him to go bigger and more level with my new set because to me, your teeth and smile are the most important feature on your face,” Stone, 25, tells PEOPLE.

When she first saw her new teeth, the first thing she thought was “they are big and beautiful, they are straight, bright and flawless,” Stone says.
Thinking, “this is fun,” she decided to make a TikTok, captioned, “No way I paid $20,000 for this,” with the sound of a horse added to it.
Published on Feb. 12, the transformation video quickly went viral, amassing over 38.6 million views.
Looking back on why she posted the clip, Bay tells PEOPLE she thought it was "gonna bring joy to people," noting that whether people were "laughing with me or laughing at me, they’re still smiling."

Some people in the comment sections suggested she stain her teeth so they don’t look so bright, while others said she should have kept her previous smile.
While she shares that “several” dentists have reached out to her about her teeth, each offering “amazing” advice to fix her smile, she says, “at the end of the day, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I personally love my teeth!”
Stone also shares that she isn’t taking any of the hate comments too seriously. “If there’s one thing people can take away from my videos, it's laugh at yourself. Life is meant to be fun and easy, so everyone interacting in the comments makes me want to create more fun content,” the TikToker says.
