BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA – Kanye West, now known as Ye, has debuted a new look featuring metallic teeth. According to a representative, the performer recently had “titanium dentures” installed by Beverly Hills-based dentist Dr. Thomas Connelly. The dental work, described as “experimental dentistry,” includes metal “fixed prosthodontics” that are permanent and unlike traditional veneers or grills.
Ye took to his Instagram story to share a glimpse of his new metallic teeth, comparing his new look to James Bond henchman Jaws from the films “The Spy Who Loved Me” and “Moonraker.” The implants, which reportedly include titanium, palladium, and platinum, were designed by Ye himself with the assistance of medical and dental experts.
This isn’t the first time Ye has undergone elaborate dental work. In 2010, he appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where he revealed to the host that he had replaced his entire bottom row of teeth with diamond and gold implants.
The total cost of Ye’s new dental work is rumored to be around $850,000, showcasing the artist’s penchant for extravagant and unique accessories. Despite the eye-catching nature of his new metallic look, it’s not the first time Ye has made headlines for his distinct fashion choices.
In 2022, Ye faced controversy for posting antisemitic content on social media and was temporarily suspended from Twitter and Instagram. Despite the backlash, Ye has continued to be a prominent figure in the entertainment industry and has recently shared photos of his rumored wife Bianca Censori, with whom he shares four children.
The constant evolution of his personal style, from elaborate dental work to experimental fashion, demonstrates Ye’s ongoing commitment to pushing boundaries and making a statement in the world of entertainment and popular culture.
