Kanye West stirs controversy again. Flaunting $850,000 titanium dentures on Instagram
Having endured hardship during his breakout "Through the Wire" era, Kanye is no stranger to resilience. Known for his bravado, the 46-year-old rapper and producer recently took to Instagram to flaunt his new metal dentures, which, as reported by the "Daily Mail," are valued at $850,000.
Kanye West unveils his titanium dentures
With a flair for theatricality, Kanye, in a later post, likened his new look to that of Jaws, the metal-mouthed villain from the James Bond films "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977) and "Moonraker" (1979).
As per "Daily Mail" reports, Kanye's natural teeth have allegedly been entirely removed, and titanium dentures, custom-crafted by Dr. Thomas Connelly (the self-proclaimed 'Father of Diamond Dentistry') and cosmetic dentist Naoki Hayashi, now replace them.
Are the rapper's original teeth still intact?
Dr. Connelly, the 'Father of Diamond Dentistry,' refutes these rumors. In an interview with "Complex," he emphasized that Kanye's natural teeth are still intact. "His teeth weren't removed, he still has all his teeth. He's healthy and happy," the dentist explained.
A different source, quoted by "Complex," suggests that Kanye underwent a procedure called fixed prosthodontics. In this process, grills made of titanium, palladium, platinum, and other precious metals – designed by Kanye and his dentists – were fixed onto his existing teeth.
