Thinking about getting grills? Curious about gold teeth? Then you may want to take inspiration from some of the stars who have already made this decision. Take a look at these five celebrities.
Lil Wayne is well known for wearing grills, but in 2010, he decided to make a decorative smile a permanent part of his look and embraced diamond encrusted teeth. To have diamonds added to your teeth, the dentist can bond them to your existing enamel, or they can make a small hole and insert the diamond into that.
Prices vary depending on the size and shape of the diamond. If you want sparkle that is a bit easier on the budget, you can opt for different types of jewels.
As one of the world's highest-paid models, Kendall Jenner sets many fashion trends, and in early 2017, she showed off some gold teeth in London. Rather than going for a full grill, she simply went with some accents by having a couple of gold teeth on the side of her sparkling white front teeth.
Like Kendall Jenner, Katy Perry has also embraced a subtle effect with her oral diamond. She has a diamond embedded into the fourth tooth on the top of her mouth (if you start counting from the center middle of her smile). However, this diamond isn't her only foray into decorated teeth.
In the past, this pop star has worn a jewel- and diamond-covered grill that is reported to be worth over $1 million. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, this is the most expensive grill in the world.
Known for hits such as "Sittin' Sidewayz", "Trill", and "Swangin' in the Rain" as well as many others, Paul Wall has been a leader in the rap community for well over a decade, and his grill definitely turns heads.
His grill consists of a variety of metals and stones, and aquamarine stones spell out "Paul" on his upper teeth and "Wall" on this lower teeth. He even sang about his grill in Nelly's tune "Grillz": "I got the wrist wear and neck wear that's captivating, but it's what smile that's got these onlookers spectating."
If you want people to spectate at your fancy mouth, you may want to take a cue from Paul and use different color jewels, have a grill for both the top and bottom teeth, or spell out fun words about yourself.
Kendall's brother-in-law Kanye West has had grills and diamonds in his mouth since the supermodel was just a child. In 2010, Kanye told Ellen Degeneres, during an interview, that he had his bottom teeth removed to make way for the gold and diamonds.
If you're thinking about grills, this may make you worried, but luckily, you don't need to have your teeth removed. In fact, many people speculate that Kanye exaggerated the dental procedure.
In some cases, you can get your teeth shaved down a bit to make room for gold overlays or other decorations. If your teeth are deteriorating or if you are missing teeth, you may be able to get implants, which feature a titanium root and a prosthetic cap. Then, you can have gold, jewels, or special grills added to the top of the implants.
