LOS ANGELES, Jan. 18: With the placement of state-of-the-art $850,000 titanium teeth implants, renowned musician and style icon Kanye West, better known by his stage name Ye, has raised the bar for dental aesthetics. With a style that has been called “quite unlike anything that has been done before,” West proudly showcased his metallic dental transformation on Instagram, taking influence from the legendary James Bond villain Jaws.

A close source highlighted that the surgery falls under the category of “fixed prosthodontics,” stressing its fixed and permanent nature, beyond typical veneers or grills. This is in contrast to original reports indicating that West had replaced all of his teeth with metal. It’s interesting to note that West’s original teeth were preserved throughout the procedure, despite it being experimental in dentistry.

Working closely with a group of dentists and cosmetic surgeons, West himself created the structure that resembles a denture, pushing the envelope in dental innovation. The dentist who developed the revolutionary process, Dr. Thomas Connelly, showed appreciation for West’s idea by saying, “His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression.” His vision combined with dental science has produced an amazing new style!

West has already expressed his opinions regarding his dental decisions. He told Ellen DeGeneres in 2010 that he had had gold implants and diamonds implanted in lieu of his lost bottom row of teeth, claiming, “It’s my real teeth; I just thought the diamonds were cooler.”

The release of West’s next album, “Vultures,” comes before the reveal of his titanium teeth. Notably, his experience with dental adjustments has been a recurrent topic since his jaw was wired shut as a result of a major vehicle accident in 2002. Two weeks after the accident, West recorded his debut single, “Through the Wire,” demonstrating his tenacity in the face of adversity.
