Kanye West has a new look.

On Wednesday, the rapper and fashion designer surprised fans by revealing what appeared to be a set of metallic dentures on his Instagram Story.

According to the Daily Mail, the eye-catching titanium dentures were designed by West and are reportedly worth a staggering $850,000.

In a follow-up post, West likened himself to the James Bond villain Jaws, who can be seen sporting metal teeth in the films "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977) and "Moonraker" (1979).

Beverly Hills-based Dr. Thomas Connelly and cosmetic dentist Naoki Hayashi were reportedly behind West's dentures.

Connelly confirmed in an Instagram Story and in a statement to the Daily Mail that he did West's "epic" new look.

"Ye was a pleasure to work with every step of the process. His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression," Connelly told the outlet.

The Yeezy founder's teeth underwent a significant transformation to achieve the new look, with his natural teeth allegedly being removed completely and replaced by custom-made titanium dentures, according to the Daily Mail.

However, Connelly refuted this claim, telling Complex that West's natural teeth were still intact beneath the new metallic addition.

While West proudly showed off his new look, not everyone was impressed by his latest style statement.

The rapper was trolled on social media over his dentures, with one user writing on X, formerly Twitter, " No way Kanye West went through with that. Look like he wrapped his teeth with gum wrapper."

This isn't West's first foray into unconventional dental choices.

In 2010, he revealed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that he replaced his bottom teeth with diamonds, saying he believed they were "cooler" for a rock star.

West's dentures reveal comes as he faces an assault and battery lawsuit over an alleged incident in 2022.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a man named Justin Poplawski alleged that West repeatedly punched him after a request for an autograph turned confrontational in January 2022.

Poplawski is seeking damages for medical bills due to his alleged disfigurement, lost earnings, and mental pain and suffering.

Police previously investigated the incident, but West was not charged.

West's attorney previously claimed to Page Six that his client did nothing wrong and that the incident was a result of Poplawski entering the rapper's personal space,
