Kanye West Replaces Teeth with Titanium Prosthetics More Expensive than Diamonds
The 46-year-old rapper shocked even himself, known for his provocative behavior, by drawing inspiration from the character Jaws in the James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me."
Kanye, Kim Kardashian's ex-husband, designed the titanium prosthetics himself, paying $850,000 for this unique transformation. The dental prosthetics were installed by Dr. Thomas Connelly and his colleague Naoki Hayashi in Beverly Hills. "Working with Kanye at every step was a pleasure. His vision of creating unique art goes beyond dental progress. Combining his vision with dental science has created a new epic look!" Dr. Thomas assured in a DailyMail interview.
The cost of such a procedure exceeds that of diamond dental implants. Kanye has lived with implants instead of teeth for over 10 years, previously embellishing them with gold and diamonds. The rapper admitted to replacing his entire lower row of teeth in a 2010 interview with Ellen DeGeneres.
