Johnny Depp flashes new pearly whites after his ‘rotting’ teeth went viral

Did Captain Jack Sparrow spring for an updated smile?

Johnny Depp flashed seemingly new pearly whites after his “rotting” teeth went viral last year .

In an Instagram video , which Page Six can confirm was taken recently, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star was seen living it up while on vacation in the Bahamas.

Depp interacted with both patrons and staff members at a beachside bar in Exuma, going on to grin several times for those filming.

The actor, 61, seemed to be in great spirits as he shook hands with fans and even got behind the bar to help the bartender make his drink.

The pair posed for photos, with Depp putting his arm around the elated employee.

“Am I right too [sic] see that his teeth are looking brighter than ever before???” one commenter remarked beneath the post, as someone else added, “Is it [me] or does [sic] his teeth look more straight?”

A third was convinced, “Def got his teeth done! Looks so good.”

Reps for Depp did not immediately respond to our request for comment on his apparent new smile, but the consensus among netizens is that “he looks amazing, happy and healthy.”

The Oscar nominee was the center of attention at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival — but it wasn’t just his performance in “Jeanne du Barry” that had people talking.

Pictures of Depp walking the red carpet quickly took the internet by storm, with many people focused on his discolored and crooked chompers.

“Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally ROTTING,” one X user claimed, while another argued, “johnny depp just looks like someone grabbed his teeth and painted them black.”

One particularly disturbed critic wondered, “why do i have to see closeup pics of johnny depp’s teeth against my will,” as yet another dissenter echoed, “Seeing that pic of Johnny Depp’s teeth on my tl just ruined my mood. That’s enough Twitter for me.”

Amid the mass concern over Depp’s oral health, celebrity dentist Dr. Apa suggested to Page Six at the time that it was a simple case of “aggressive” wear and tear .

“He has wear, which has been a cumulative effect over a lifetime,” Apa hypothesized. “Wear like that — sometimes we see it in 30-year-olds in really aggressive cases, and sometimes we see it in cases like Depp.”

Apa said Depp’s passion for espresso and cigarillos was probably to blame for the “stainy” teeth, which he said likely hadn’t been cleaned in “years.”

Depp himself once admitted to poor dental hygiene and actually boasted about the optics of his mouth .

“I’ve got loads of cavities,” he told Premiere magazine in 1995. “I had a root canal done eight years ago that’s unfinished. It’s like a rotten little stub.”

The actor, then 31, insisted that he “liked” his flawed smile.

“It’s like when the Indians would make something beaded, they would always put imperfections on it,” he pointed out, adding, “I’m proud of these.”

The “Edward Scissorhands” star went on to bash those with pearly whites and asserted that he would despise having fabulous fangs.

“When I see people with perfect teeth, it drives me up the wall,” he shared. “I’d rather swallow a tick than have that!”

The magazine did note, however, that Depp’s breath remained odorless despite his affinity for chain-smoking cigarettes and sipping merlot.
