Kanye West shocked many when he was seen wearing a set of $800,000-dollar worth of titanium teeth.
Now, an expert claims that not only would he have difficulty in eating and digesting, but his new set of teeth could be breeding grounds for dental and bacterial infections.
Kanye West Titanium Teeth Won't Let Him Eat
According to an exclusive report from The Mirror, dental experts are saying that it was a bad idea that Kanye West replaced his rather healthy teeth with a pair of Titanium ones.
Dental experts have warned that Kanye West "can't chew" his food properly because of his titanium teeth. They say that the "Vultures" rapper shouldn't have had this procedure at all and he'll regret not getting a flashy smile.
New York cosmetic dentist Dr. Daniel Rubinshtein told the publication that food will get stuck between his titanium teeth and he should have just gotten veneers instead.
Rubinshtein shared that Kanye's teeth will damage his TMJ or his temporomandibular joint connecting his lower jaw and his skull, which could lead to bacterial infections.
"He warned that Kanye's teeth could cause even more serious oral health issues and he would never recommend such a procedure," The Mirror reported.
He also advised to go against grills, as they could cause damage to the teeth underneath.
"I do whatever it takes to save every single tooth. To pull teeth out for a trendy procedure is irreversible and will forever affect your life," he further explained. "Dentures are not comfortable, hard to eat and always get food stuck underneath."
West has bragged about his teeth in the past, which was "completely non-removable." Apparently, the set of teeth is "fixed prosthodontics" and is part of an experimental type of dentistry that the rapper helped create.
"They are, as the name suggests, fixed and permanent. This goes way beyond veneers or grills. And his particular implant is quite unlike anything that has been done before," a Page Six source said.
