Married At First Sight Australia star Matt Ridley has revealed that he's undergone a transformation, as he now has a rather different looking smile.

Matt, who took part in this year's series of the reality show, has received some intensive dental work, with his teeth now looking much whiter and more even.

Sharing a series of before and after photos of his smile on Instagram, Matt wrote: "Words cannot describe how amazed I am with this smile transformation. I now have the most amazing smile and my confidence is through the roof.

"I hadn't seen a dentist in 23 years and now this. I'm so thankful to all the team".

Matt also shared photos and videos of himself with the dental team who undertook the work, as well as a clip of himself shortly after arriving at the dentist in which he revealed how excited he was to get started.

Daily Mail Australia reports that Matt's dental work was worth $55,000, with the reality star admitting to them that he felt "scared" about undergoing the procedures.

"The last time I was at a dentist I was 16 years of age and the noise and the smell and just the experience really took me back," he said. "I think I've always had a good smile, but there has been times when I've lacked confidence because of the colour of my teeth. I did have a few chips and marks, and when you have that, and when you have some discoloration of your natural teeth, you really need to look at doing something."

Matt has received plenty of compliments on his new look, with his MAFS co-star Selin Mengu commenting on his Instagram post with "Looks amazing !" and fellow star Jackson Lonie writing: "Look unreal mate".

Law clerk Matt was paired with nutritionist Kate Laidlaw on season nine of MAFS, although their relationship didn't last long at all.

The couple experienced several tense moments and eventually decided to split, with the pair writing 'Leave' at the Commitment Ceremony when making their decisions about their future together.

Married at First Sight and Married at First Sight Australia air on E4 and are streaming on All 4.
