Wow - and we thought Michael Jackson had a bad case
of 'body dysphoria' !!!
I think Jackson was trying to look more like his fave
Liz Taylor. However West ... what the FUCK was he
thinking ???
The dental work is said to have cost him $850,000
(hey, titanium is kinda hard to work with, plus it
was a cutting-edge implant tech employed)
It's generally agreed that he's pretty NUTS, some
species of skitzie. However, so far, even with this,
he's not really a "danger to himself and others".
A photo of just the 'denture' here :

Not "teeth" - but a single metal "uni-tooth" top and
bottom. Very "Dr. Doom" .....
Oft wondered why Nature didn't go to the "uni-tooth".
In antiquity - meaning up to just a couple hundred
years ago in dentistry - bad teeth were a very common
cause of death. Even Egyptian mummies - rich people -
often showed horrific dental infections with much of
the jaw eaten away. Skulls from a group about 60,000
years old were recently found ... almost all had
rotten jaws, one case where the lower jaw was pretty
much gone entirely. Each tooth is a vulnerability
and only modern tech allows anything useful to be
done about it.
I *think* the prob with a uni-tooth is that one
crack can spread and ruin the whole thing. You
probably live longer, if not necessarily better,
with lots of little teeth instead.
West had perfecty good teeth beforehand, even had
some with diamonds implanted. Hate to tell him but
they can't put those back in should he get buyers
remorse.
