Kanye West Swaps Smile for $850k Titanium Dentures

Kanye West, aged 46, has recently undergone a significant dental transformation, replacing his teeth with a set of titanium dentures estimated to be worth around $850,000. The rapper took to his Instagram story to showcase his new silver smile in a close-up photo and also shared an image featuring just the dentures.

In addition, he posted a screenshot of the iconic James Bond villain, Jaws, known for his similar dentures in the 1970s films ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ and ‘Moonraker.’

According to the reports, Kanye played a hands-on role in designing the dentures himself. A source revealed that these dentures are “more expensive than diamonds.” The fitting for these distinctive dentures was reportedly done by Dr. Thomas Connelly in Beverly Hills, CA, with the assistance of Naoki Hayashi, a Master Dental Technician.

“Collaborating with Ye was a delightful experience throughout every phase of the process. His creative vision extends beyond the realm of dentistry, and the fusion of his artistic vision with dental science has resulted in a truly extraordinary transformation!” shared Dr Connelly.

Kanye West’s recent dental enhancement follows his revelation in a 2010 interview with Ellen DeGeneres about diamond and gold implants replacing his entire bottom set of teeth. In the interview, he expressed his preference for diamonds, stating, “I just thought that diamonds were cooler… It’s really my real teeth. I replaced my bottom row of teeth. I guess there’s just certain things that rock stars are supposed to do.”

Before this latest dental makeover, Kanye made headlines for sharing a friendly moment with his ex-sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian at his son Saint West’s basketball game in Los Angeles, CA. Despite his divorce from Kim Kardashian in 2022, Kanye and Kim continue to co-parent their four children. The recent interaction suggests that Kanye, now married to Bianca Censori, is maintaining amicable terms with Kim’s family.
