Kanye West is ‘weird’ about his teeth, once had favorite dentist give lessons to other dentist

Amid news that Kanye West has had permanent titanium dentures bolted into his mouth, a source close to the rapper tells Page Six that he’s been notoriously “weird” about his teeth for some time.

In fact, they say that on one occasion the “Life of Pablo” star had his favorite dentist give pointers on how to work on his chompers.

“He brought one dentist to another dentist office to show him how to work on his teeth,” marveled a longtime acquaintance of the troubled musician-turned-fashion-designer. The insider says that the famously particular star generally has up to a dozen dentists in his rotation at any given moment, and has had many, many grills installed, made over and removed over the years.

Another insider speculated that his obsession with his teeth may have begun with his famous car accident in 2002 which left his jaw shattered. (He famously recorded his first hit, “Through The Wire” with his jaw still wired shut.

The “Heartless” hitmaker’s $850,000 implants — known as “fixed prosthodontics” — are a type of “experimental dentistry” that was designed entirely by the rapper.

“They are, as the name suggests, fixed and permanent,” a source exclusively told Page Six Thursday. “This goes way beyond veneers or grills. And his particular implant is quite unlike anything that has been done before.”

Our insider explained West worked alongside the self-proclaimed “Father of Diamond Dentistry,” Dr. Thomas Connelly, to “manufacture” and “fit” the dentures, which also included palladium and platinum materials.

“All that said … his teeth weren’t removed,” the source added. West debuted the metallic mandibles Wednesday when he posted picture of Instagram to show off his metal implants, comparing himself to the James Bond villain Jaws — who had similar metal teeth.
