Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Kanye West shows off new set of grills
Caption: Kanye West shows off new set of grills. The rapper gave fans a glimpse at his new mouth accessories in an Instagram story on Wednesday. They are reportedly worth $850,000 (£669,000) and are "more expensive than diamonds”. Alongside a photo of his new teeth, he showed a photo of the iconic James Bond villain, Jaws, who had similar dentures. The "teeth" were reportedly fitted by Dr. Thomas Connelly in Beverly Hills. The dental expert 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. The marriage of his vision with dental science has created a new look that is epic!” After it was speculated that Kanye had had his teeth removed to install the grills, Connell clarified to Complex: ”He did not have his teeth removed. He still has a full dentition. Healthy and happy.” Kanye has previously had diamond and gold implants in his mouth which he claimed replaced the entire bottom set of his teeth. He told Ellen DeGeneres in 2010, "I just thought that diamonds were cooler.” "It's really my real teeth. I replaced my bottom row of teeth. I guess there's just certain things that rock stars are supposed to do.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
