On Tuesday, Kanye West told Ellen DeGeneres that the new gold and diamonds in his mouth weren’t simply laid on top of his real teeth, but they were his real teeth, because he had the old ones taken out and replaced with lavish jewels. Does he look like an idiot? Of course he does, but I included the video just in case you had any lingering doubts.
Now here’s the big question: did he really replace his teeth with diamonds? EW has called shenanigans, and spoke to a famous cosmetic dentist to see if their declaration of shenanigans is just.
“It’s a possibility, but I really doubt that the gold was extended into his actual socket within the gum and bone to replace the actual teeth themselves,” says the dentist. “There’s no way you can just place the gold into the gum or the bone without any connection to your natural teeth.”
(It’s) much more likely that West had his teeth trimmed down and used them as support for a gold and diamond encrusted bridge.
It’s also possible that West had his front teeth surgically removed, replaced them with titanium implants, and then had the flashy structure built on top. The latter procedure would require a months-long waiting period for the titanium implants to set.
Sounds like Kanye got lucky. I thought I was getting diamond teef as a kid too, because my dentist said he had something special for my mouth. He said they were jewels, “the ol’ family jewels” he called them, but when I woke up a few hours later, nothing. What the fuck dude!
