Jelly Roll, the rising star of country music, has experienced a significant transformation, which includes a notable upgrade to his dental aesthetics. While his smile was never the worst among celebrities, he had previously invested in dental work that laid the foundation for his current Hollywood smile.
In March 2024, Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, captured his dental visits on TikTok, revealing that he has had veneers for around 20 years. During one clip, Jelly Roll shared details about his extensive dental procedures, stating, “I’m finally getting them replaced, along with some implants and extractions.” Reflecting on his past insecurities, he noted, “I had an ugly smile as a kid, and I faced teasing.”
Dr. Dani B., a cosmetic dentist based in Los Angeles, explained the dual benefits of Jelly Roll’s dental upgrades: improved self-esteem and enhanced oral health. He highlighted that Jelly Roll’s previous issues with cavities could have caused discomfort, and the new veneers are likely to be a more significant investment than the originals.
The estimated cost for Jelly Roll’s dental makeover ranges between $80,000 and $100,000, according to Dr. Dani B. This includes not only veneers but possibly replacements for crowns as well.
At the CMT Awards in April 2024, Jelly Roll had ample reason to showcase his revamped smile, winning in all three categories for which he was nominated, including Video of the Year. During a red-carpet interview with ET, he humorously claimed, “I haven’t been to the dentist in 20 years,” although his wife had previously documented a dental visit for wisdom tooth removal in 2019. He confessed to postponing dental work for years, stating, “I’ve been avoiding this for four years,” and revealing that he had spent $13,000 on his first set of veneers.
In a playful TikTok exchange with comedian Chelcie Lynn, Jelly Roll joked about his old gold-capped teeth, which had become part of his identity. Although he teased about his unconventional dental origins, he decided against retaining his gold accents after receiving his new veneers. In response to a question from Bunnie Xo about keeping his flashy dental work, he invited his followers to weigh in.
The majority of fans urged Jelly Roll to embrace his new smile without additional embellishments, praising its striking appearance. Nevertheless, images from the ACM Awards suggest he may have given in to the temptation of incorporating some decorative elements back into his smile.
