Kanye West’s Latest Dental Transformation: Titanium Teeth Inspired by James Bond’s Jaws
It seems the world of Kanye West never fails to surprise us, and this time, it’s all about his teeth.
Reports have been circulating that the rapper’s pearly whites are not your average set – in fact, they
are reportedly made of titanium alloy and cost more than diamonds.
But where did this unique dental journey start? According to Kanye himself, the inspiration behind his metal teeth came from the iconic James Bond villain, Jaws, whose fearsome jaw was made of metal. The teeth were meticulously designed by Kanye and brought to life by dentist Dr. Thomas Connelly and cosmetic dentist Naoki Hayashi.
In a recent interview with the Washington Post, Dr. Connelly shed some light on the process, revealing that Kanye’s dental “repair” did not involve removing his healthy teeth. The dentist praised Kanye’s vision and creativity in reimagining his image through dental work, stating, “His vision of artistic design goes far beyond the development of dentistry. The combination has created a truly epic new look.”
This isn’t the first time Kanye West has made waves with his dental choices. In 2010, he made headlines by announcing that he had his entire lower jaw replaced with diamonds because it was “cool”. And while some may opt for traditional grillz, Kanye has been vocal about his preference for maintaining his expensive metal teeth through regular visits to the dentist.
In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, Kanye explained his decision to invest in his teeth rather than jewelry, emphasizing the importance of preserving his unique dental masterpiece. With Kanye West, it seems that even his smile is a work of art.
