Can Johnny Depp Restore His Smile?
Dental Expert Weighs in on Actor's Teeth After Cannes Appearance Goes Viral
Johnny Depp's recent appearance at the Cannes Film Festival has sparked conversations about the state of his teeth, prompting celebrity dentist Dr. Apa to provide insights into the matter.
Known for treating stars like Kendall Jenner and Simon Cowell, Dr. Apa described Depp's dental condition as a result of aggressive wear and tear over time.
The dentist explained that the wear on Depp's teeth is comparable to cases seen in individuals in their 30s with severe wear.
According to Dr. Apa, a thorough cleaning would significantly improve the problem.
He also suggested the use of porcelain veneers to address the wearing down of Depp's teeth and restore his bite.
Dental veneers are custom-made thin coverings made from tooth-colored materials.
They are applied to the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance in terms of color, shape, size, or length.
Dr. Apa further speculated on the possible causes of Depp's dental issues, attributing them to his love for espresso and cigarillos.
He suggested that Depp's teeth may not have been cleaned adequately for several years, leading to stains and other problems.
Interestingly, Depp may not be receptive to dental treatment recommendations, as he has previously expressed pride in his stained teeth and numerous cavities.
In a 1995 interview with Premiere magazine, Depp mentioned having multiple cavities, including an unfinished root canal procedure that left him with a “rotten little stub.”
He compared his teeth to beaded Indian artifacts, appreciating their imperfections.
Meanwhile, the Cannes Film Festival premiered Depp's latest film, “Jeanne du Barry,” a biographical drama where he portrays French king Louis XV.
The movie, directed by Maïwenn, also stars her as the lead actress.
Depp's performance garnered a standing ovation lasting seven minutes, leaving him visibly moved by the audience's positive reception.
While Depp's teeth have become a topic of discussion following his appearance at Cannes, Dr. Apa's expertise and recommendations offer potential solutions for the actor to restore his smile.
Whether Depp chooses to pursue dental treatment remains to be seen, but his recent film's success surely adds to his accomplishments in the industry.
