Kanye West caused a stir among fans when he replaced his teeth with titanium dentures worth $850,000 (£675,000), but one expert believes it's his wife who should be complaining the most.
The rapper debuted his new teeth last month on a date night with Bianca Censori at Chateau Marmont in Beverly Hills. Despite the romantic setting, it seems like the couple might not have had the chance to be intimate, as one expert believes Kanye's dentures would make kissing "a nightmare".
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Dr Safa Al-Naher said: "Oh, kissing would be a nightmare. I feel very sorry for his wife. I mean, it's quite obvious, massive metal chunks at the front of the mouth, there's going to be nothing pleasant about that."

They could cause issues for the rapper (Instagram)Safa also suggested Kanye might encounter some personal issues with his new teeth. She explained: "The dentist who made them has said that basically it is a permanent denture and that he has had to not remove teeth but prepare the teeth, which means cut down the teeth somewhat.

"Problems are, anytime we start to cut down teeth, we run the risk of damaging the nerve so he might have nerve problems in the future and might need root canals." The expert also suggested cleaning could become an issue for Kanye.
She told us: "If they were removable grills then you could take them off and you could clean the teeth underneath and you can put them back in. The fact that this is fixed, you can't do any of that."
Fans have been warned against copying (Instagram)

She also warned fans against following in Kanye's footsteps. Safa said: "The dentist has a responsibility to the patient I think. Really important that this kind of irreversible treatment is such a bad idea."
Kanye worried fans earlier this week as he shared a new clip of himself on Instagram. In the video, Kanye's lips seemed to be swollen and his top lip had a large lump on it. Many of his followers thought his new dentures were to blame and believed the metal might have cut him.
