West looks sharp with fangs to mimic Bond villain Jaws

KANYE WEST has installed $850,000 titanium teeth implants in a new look he compared with the James Bond villain Jaws.

The rapper posted a photo to his Instagram account to show off his new metallic dentures to fans.

A source close to the rapper said it was “quite unlike anything that has been done before”, telling the Washington Post: “The technical term is fixed prosthodontics. They are fixed and permanent. This goes way beyond veneers or grills.

“It’s experimental dentistry to say the least. All that said, his teeth weren’t removed.”

West designed the denture-like structure with a team of cosmetic surgeons and dentists, the source said.

Thomas Connelly, the dentist who carried out the procedure, told the Daily Mail: “Ye was a pleasure to work with every step of the process. His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression.”

It is not the first time that West has altered the design of his dentures.

In 2010, the rapper told Ellen Degeneres that he had replaced his bottom row of teeth with gold implants and diamonds. “It’s really my real teeth,” he insisted, adding, “I just thought the diamonds were cooler.”

It comes ahead of the release of his new album Vultures.

In October 2002, West was in a serious car accident which meant he had to have his mouth wired shut.

Last year, the 46-year-old sparked outrage after posting remarks about Jews on social media that led to him being dropped by sponsors and suspended from X, formerly Twitter.

He issued an apology in Hebrew to “the Jewish community” for past anti-semitic outbursts, saying that he sought forgiveness and regretted any pain that his remarks had caused.
