Kanye West's Bold New Dental Transformation: Titanium Dentures

Kanye West, the iconic artist, has embraced a striking new dental aesthetic, as confirmed by a representative to TODAY.com. The Beverly Hills-based dentist, Dr. Thomas Connelly, is credited with fitting West, now known as Ye, with innovative "titanium dentures."

Diving deeper, a source close to Ye revealed that these are not just ordinary dentures, but a type of "fixed prosthodontics" – a permanent and more advanced alternative to conventional veneers or grills. Ye's new dental implants represent a groundbreaking step in experimental dentistry, crafted with the collaboration of medical and dental experts, including Dr. Connelly.

Intriguingly, Ye's dental upgrade, which he showcased on his Instagram on January 17, involves not just titanium but also incorporates precious metals like palladium and platinum. These materials have been selectively used to enhance various aspects of the implants.

Drawing a playful comparison, Ye likened his new dental look to the James Bond villain Jaws, known for his metal teeth, in a recent Instagram story. This high-end dental makeover reportedly comes with a hefty price tag of around $850,000.

Ye is no stranger to unique dental work. In a 2010 appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," he disclosed his bottom teeth makeover with diamond and gold implants, showcasing his flair for extraordinary dental aesthetics.

Apart from his dental ventures, Ye has been in the news for various reasons, including his temporary suspension from Twitter and Instagram in 2022 for antisemitic posts. He has since returned to social media, often sharing updates about his personal life, including posts about his rumored wife Bianca Censori. Ye also co-parents four children with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
