In a jaw-dropping move that echoes his boundary-pushing approach to art and style, Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, has embarked on a dental journey like no other. The visionary artist has invested a staggering $850,000 in what can only be described as a masterpiece of experimental dentistry.

The centerpiece of this dental opus is a set of “fixed prosthodontics,” meticulously designed by Ye himself. These permanent titanium implants, a departure from conventional veneers or grills, are a testament to West’s relentless pursuit of unique expression. A source close to the artist revealed that these implants, crafted in collaboration with the self-proclaimed “Father of Diamond Dentistry,” Dr. Thomas Connelly, incorporate rare materials such as palladium and platinum.

Contrary to any expectations, West’s natural teeth were not removed in the process. The result is a dental marvel that transcends the ordinary, leaving dental experts and fans alike in awe. Describing the implants, a source exclusively told Page Six, “This goes way beyond veneers or grills. And his particular implant is quite unlike anything that has been done before.”

Ye, 46, took to Instagram to reveal his transformative dental artistry, drawing comparisons to the iconic James Bond villain Jaws, who sported a similar metal-toothed look. Dr. Connelly, speaking to the Daily Mail, expressed his admiration for working with Ye, stating, “His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression. The marriage of his vision with dental science has created a new look that is epic!”

This isn’t West’s first foray into dental reinvention. In a 2010 episode of “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” he admitted to having his bottom teeth replaced with diamonds, explaining, “It’s certain stuff that rock stars are supposed to do.” Maintaining his commitment to bling, West regularly visits the dentist to upkeep his flashy dental aesthetics.

Notably, Ye’s daring choices have influenced the next generation, with his and Kim Kardashian’s 10-year-old daughter, North West, recently flaunting her own diamond grill on TikTok. A photo shared on the platform showcased North proudly revealing four of her bottom teeth entirely covered in bling, reminiscent of her mother’s opal and diamond-covered teeth in March 2021.
