LOS ANGELES, Jan 18: Renowned rapper and fashion icon Kanye West, now known as Ye, has taken dental aesthetics to new heights with the installation of cutting-edge $850,000 titanium teeth implants. Drawing inspiration from the iconic James Bond villain Jaws, West proudly displayed his metallic dental transformation on Instagram, showcasing a look that's been described as "quite unlike anything that has been done before."

Contrary to initial reports suggesting West had replaced all his teeth with metal, a close source clarified that the procedure falls under the realm of "fixed prosthodontics," emphasizing its fixed and permanent nature, surpassing traditional veneers or grills. While experimental in dentistry, it's noteworthy that West's natural teeth were not removed during the process.

Collaborating closely with a team of cosmetic surgeons and dentists, West personally designed the denture-like structure, pushing the boundaries of dental innovation. Dr. Thomas Connelly, the dentist behind the transformative procedure, expressed admiration for West's vision, stating, "His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression. The marriage of his vision with dental science has created an epic new look!"

This isn't the first time West has made a statement about his dental choices. In 2010, he revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that he had replaced his bottom row of teeth with gold implants and diamonds, insisting, "It's my real teeth; I just thought the diamonds were cooler."

The unveiling of West's titanium teeth precedes the release of his upcoming album, "Vultures." Notably, his journey with dental modifications has been a recurring theme, dating back to 2002 when a serious car accident led to his jaw being wired shut. Despite this setback, West's resilience was evident as he recorded his debut single, "Through the Wire," just two weeks after the accident.
