Oh boy, have we got a dental glow-up story to chew on! After a year of dodging the spotlight thanks to the infamous critiques of his “rotting” teeth, Johnny Depp is back—and this time, he’s flashing a dazzling new set of pearly whites that could rival any toothpaste commercial! It’s hard to believe that just last year, social media was abuzz with comments like “How did we let it come to this?” Who knew that veneers could be the real MVP in a celebrity comeback?
In the latest twist of Depp’s rollercoaster ride through fame—complete with all the drama surrounding his tumultuous legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard—he’s said goodbye to that less-than-glamorous dental situation and embraced a fresh grin. You know what they say, though: You can cover up your teeth, but the image baggage from those courtroom skirmishes takes a little longer to brush away. Let’s dive into the saga that’s made headlines and had us all wondering about the state of his chompers.
Did Johnny just need a visit to the dentist, or was this a major overhaul that speaks volumes about the pressures of Hollywood? Grab your popcorn, because Depp’s journey from viral dental disaster to his latest Instagram flex is as entertaining as a box office hit!

As you can see Depp was in his natural habitat recently (a bar in the Bahamas). And an Instagram video posted by a local bartender showed the star sporting some new and improved chompers.
“Am I right too [sic] see that his teeth are looking brighter than ever before???” wrote one commenter.
“Is it [me] or does [sic] his teeth look more straight?” another asked.
“Def got his teeth done! Looks so good,” a third remarked.
What Caused the Damage to Depp’s Teeth?
So Depp seems to have gotten his teeth fixed. But what went wrong with them in the first place?
“He has wear, which has been a cumulative effect over a lifetime,” celebrity dentist Dr. Apa recently told Page Six.
“Wear like that — sometimes we see it in 30-year-olds in really aggressive cases, and sometimes we see it in cases like Depp.”
The dentist went on to speculate that the staining on Depp’s teeth was probably a result of the actor’s known penchant for cigarettes, coffee, and red wine.
Depp’s had trouble with his teeth for quite some time, and he discussed the issue candidly in a 1995 interview with Premiere magazine.
“I’ve got loads of cavities. I had a root canal done eight years ago that’s unfinished. It’s like a rotten little stub,” Depp said at the time.
“It’s like when the Indians would make something beaded, they would always put imperfections on it,” he added. “I’m proud of these.”
Thankfully, it sounds like Johnny has now fixed the problem, possibly with a set of Depp dentures.
The rest of his public image might not be so easy to remedy. But hey — slow progress is better than no progress!
