Amid recent news of Kanye West's unconventional dental procedure, it has been revealed that the rapper has always been peculiar when it comes to his teeth. According to a source close to him, West has shown an unusual fascination with his dental health for quite some time.
One incident that stands out is when the 'Life of Pablo' star brought his favorite dentist to another dental office to demonstrate how he wanted his teeth worked on. This display of meticulousness left those around him amazed. Apparently, West is known to have a rotating roster of up to twelve dentists, constantly seeking their expertise for various treatments, grills, and modifications over the years.
Speculation has arisen that his fixation on his teeth may stem from a life-altering car accident in 2002, during which his jaw was left shattered. Despite this setback, he famously recorded his first hit, 'Through The Wire,' while his jaw was still wired shut. It is possible that this experience ignited his desire to perfect his smile.
The most recent revelation about West's dental adventures is the installation of permanent titanium dentures costing a whopping $850,000. These implants, known as 'fixed prosthodontics,' were entirely conceptualized and designed by the rapper himself, with the assistance of Dr. Thomas Connelly, also known as the 'Father of Diamond Dentistry.' The dentures, made from palladium and platinum materials, are considered an experimental form of dentistry.
Contrary to popular belief, West did not have his original teeth removed for this procedure. Instead, the implants were added as a permanent fixture to enhance his smile. In a recent Instagram post, West proudly shared a photo of his new metallic mandibles, even comparing himself to the iconic James Bond villain Jaws, who sported similar metal teeth.
It is clear that Kanye West's fascination with his dental health goes far beyond conventional practices like veneers or grills. His determination to achieve a unique and remarkable smile has led him to explore uncharted territories in dentistry. While some may find his choices unusual or eccentric, it is evident that West has a clear vision for his aesthetic preferences, even extending to his teeth.
As the buzz surrounding his dental journey continues, it remains to be seen what further surprises Kanye West has in store for us. Whether you admire his creativity and boldness or find his choices intriguing, there is no denying that he has pushed the boundaries of what is considered ordinary in the world of dentistry.
