Important Medical Information
The information provided is for educational purposes only and should not replace professional dental advice. Always consult with a qualified cosmetic dentist before making treatment decisions. Individual results may vary based on your specific dental condition and chosen treatment plan.
Post Malone's smile has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past several years. Early in his career, the rapper-singer's teeth were relatively ordinary – slightly crooked, stained from years of smoking, and far from the blinding Hollywood smiles of pop stars. Today, at age 30, he sports a million-dollar grin that features porcelain veneers and even two diamond 'fangs' inset in his canines.

Timeline: Post Malone's Teeth, Before & After
Early Years (pre-2015)
Natural teeth with minor flaws – slightly crooked alignment and a dull, yellowish tone from normal wear (and heavy smoking). No significant dental work done; no evidence of braces or orthodontics in his youth.
2015–2019 (Rise to Fame)
As Post Malone's career took off, he became more image-conscious. His teeth appeared somewhat whiter and cleaner by around 2019, suggesting improved hygiene or professional whitening. However, he still had his original teeth (with small gaps or a crooked tooth) and hadn't undergone any drastic cosmetic procedure. During this period, Post frequently wore removable grills (custom decorative tooth caps in gold, silver, etc.) as a fashion statement, aligning with hip-hop culture.
2020–2021 (Smile Makeover)
Turning point – full cosmetic overhaul. Around late 2020, fans observed Post Malone's teeth looking brighter, hinting at recent whitening and minor fixes. Then in mid-2021, he underwent a major dental reconstruction: porcelain veneers were placed on roughly 26 teeth, and his canine teeth were replaced with two diamond crowns or implants. This dramatic transformation – completed in June 2021 – gave him perfectly straight, uniform white teeth accented by 12 carats of sparkling diamonds, at an estimated cost of $1.6 million.
2022–Present
Post-makeover smile – Post Malone now sports a gleaming 'Hollywood smile' with a distinctive twist. His teeth are movie-star straight and bright white, framed by the two diamond-inlaid fangs that 'light up the room' when he smiles. He appears more confident in flashing his grin, which has become an iconic part of his image. Notably, he even named his 2022 album Twelve Carat Toothache – a tongue-in-cheek reference to the combined 12 carats of diamonds in his teeth.
Procedures & Evidence (What changed and how)
Expert Analysis
Dr. Thomas Connelly
Celebrity Dentist ('Father of Diamond Dentistry')
Dr. Connelly, who led the project, confirmed that Post's smile now includes 'two functional, full diamond teeth' that are meant to stay in and function like normal teeth. Creating these diamond fangs was an unprecedented feat blending dentistry and jewelry expertise. According to Dr. Connelly, he had never done a full diamond tooth implant before – only small inlaid gems – and the project required about a year and a half of research and trial-and-error engineering.
Dr. Nilesh Parmar
UK Cosmetic Dentist
Dr. Parmar stated that while he's had patients ask for gold or silver teeth, Post's full-diamond fangs are 'quite a few steps further' – but he sees no issue as long as it's not detrimental to oral health. 'If that's what the patient wants… I see no reason why it cannot be done,' he said, acknowledging the risk of a diamond coming off but essentially giving professional approval to the concept.
Dr. Steven Denzel
Cosmetic Dentist
Dr. Denzel quipped: 'We always try to give our patients the 'million dollar smile' with good oral health, whitening and, if need be, veneers. But unreal to see how Post Malone has gone and in his own way literally put a million dollars on his smile through two huge diamonds!' This sentiment captures the blend of astonishment and approval among dentists – Post took the phrase 'million-dollar smile' (a common goal in cosmetic dentistry) and made it literal.
Procedures Breakdown
Porcelain Veneers and Crowns
The foundation of Post Malone's new smile is a full set of porcelain dental restorations on almost all his teeth. In mid-2021, he had 28 units of ceramic restoration placed – essentially every tooth got a makeover. According to reports, about 18 of those were porcelain veneers on his front teeth, and several others (especially back teeth) were likely full crowns for durability. Some sources even mention that platinum or metal-based crowns were used on 6–8 posterior teeth for strength, though from the outside all the teeth still look white.
Diamond Fangs (Custom Diamond Tooth Implants)
The centerpiece of Post Malone's dental transformation – and the feature that made headlines worldwide – is his pair of diamond teeth. These are not grillz or tooth gems, but actual 6-carat diamonds fashioned into the shape of his upper canines and permanently embedded in his mouth. Dr. Thomas Connelly, who led the project, confirmed that Post's smile now includes 'two functional, full diamond teeth' that are meant to stay in and function like normal teeth.
Professional Whitening
He likely had professional teeth whitening done prior to getting veneers (to ensure his underlying teeth and any remaining visible enamel matched the bright new restorations). He may have had some minor gum contouring to even out his gum line, though there's no specific report of it – cosmetic dentists often do a laser gum lift to make new teeth look symmetrical.
Oral Surgery
Preparing 28 teeth for veneers/crowns means the dentist did significant enamel reshaping and drilling, which, while not surgical in the medical sense, is an intensive procedure done under anesthesia. Post likely spent many hours in the dental chair through 2020–2021 for consultations, prep, fittings, and placements to get everything perfect.
