Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, has embraced a bold dental transformation with his latest venture into experimental dentistry. The renowned artist has unveiled his impressive fixed prosthodontics, titanium dentures valued at a staggering $850,000, a creation entirely crafted by the rapper himself.
Unlike traditional veneers or grills, Ye’s fixed and permanent implants mark a groundbreaking departure in dental aesthetics. The custom-designed dentures were a collaborative effort between Ye and Dr. Thomas Connelly, a self-proclaimed “Father of Diamond Dentistry,” renowned for his expertise in the field.
Utilizing palladium and platinum materials, Ye’s dental masterpiece stands as a testament to innovation. Contrary to speculation, it’s important to note that this transformative dental work did not involve the removal of his natural teeth.

In a recent Instagram reveal, Ye drew parallels between his new dental aesthetics and the iconic James Bond villain Jaws, who also sported metal teeth. Dr. Connelly praised Ye’s involvement in the design process, highlighting the rapper’s unique artistic vision and its fusion with dental science.
Ye, at 46, has a history of making bold choices with his dental aesthetics. In 2010, he shared on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” that he had his bottom teeth replaced with diamonds, a move he deemed fitting for a rock star. Regular visits to the dentist are routine for Ye to maintain his distinctive dental bling.
This latest venture appears to have left a significant impact on his family, particularly his daughter North West. Following in her father’s footsteps, North showcased her own flair for dental fashion with a dazzling diamond grill featured on TikTok. The 10-year-old’s blinged-out look echoes her mother, Kim Kardashian’s March 2021 dental style, where the SKIMS founder adorned her teeth with opal and diamonds.
Ye’s journey into experimental dentistry not only reflects his commitment to pushing artistic boundaries but also influences the next generation within his own family, making a lasting mark on the world of dental aesthetics.
