As Taylor Swift appears to FINALLY fix chipped tooth after a decade, dentist reveals the $40,000 treatments that have transformed the popstar’s smile

Eagle-eyed fans of Taylor Swift have been focusing on their favorite pop star's smile for years.

The singer, who famously dated Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has carried a chipped dog for the better part of a decade.

In 2013, Swift accidentally hit herself in the face with her microphone during an onstage performance, causing part of her tooth to fall off.

But according to astute fans and dentists on TikTok, the missing piece of enamel has finally been replaced.

A fan on Instagram wrote last month, “I think it's so cute how she held on to the chipped tooth for TEN years and honestly I think she's beautiful before and after she got the tooth fixed.”

Dr. Joyce Kahng, a cosmetic dentist and owner of O+M Dental Studio in California, suggests that Taylor likely received new veneers covering her chipped tooth.

Meanwhile, Dr. Joyce Kahng, a cosmetic dentist and owner of O+M Dental Studio in California, suggested on TikTok that the chip was covered with a brand new range of veneers – coverings that fit over the front of your teeth to make them more uniform corpses.

She speculated that the megastar, who was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year this week, underwent an “express service” in late September.

“What is common with celebrities is that they often pay for a day visit,” Dr. Kahng says in a video that has been viewed more than 2.9 million times.

“She probably went in on the 27th and they were installed by the 29th.”

But that's not all Swift is said to have done.

According to dental experts on social media, the Eras Tour sensation has undergone a series of procedures over the years to perfect her smile.

Braces, veneers and gum surgery have cost her more than $30,000 over the years, experts suggest.

In a TikTok video, British dentist Dr. Vikas Prinja footage from 2005 shows Taylor getting new molds for her braces because she kept forgetting her braces while touring.

Here they describe exactly which dental treatments have contributed to the transformation of the girl next door into the global icon she is today.

First, there were braces, which can cost up to $6,000, according to Dr. Vikas Prinja, a British dentist.

Looking at an image of teenage Taylor, Dr. Prinja said her front teeth are naturally a bit crowded, and her lateral incisors (the teeth right next to the canines) are a bit long.

“Her fangs aren't all the way down, so they're a little high,” he said in a TikTok video that has been viewed 1.7 million times.

Taylor also had braces as a teenager, although Dr. Prinja suspects she may have taken them off too early because one of her canines had not fully returned to normal height.

As a teenager, Taylor Swift had an uneven smile, which dentists say was corrected over time with cosmetic procedures

Dr. Prinja said Taylor has likely had veneers over the years to correct the color and shape of her smile

“The gum line is much higher than the rest of her teeth,” he said.

In 2008, Taylor posted a video to her YouTube channel showing how she got new retainer templates because she kept forgetting to wear them while touring.

A few years later, Dr. Prinja also speculates that Taylor started using veneers to make her teeth appear more even.

'Her peg-shaped lateral incisors now look like they are fully formed. Her front two teeth look like they're a little translucent, and her back teeth look a lot more opaque and whiter,” he said.

Veneers – used to correct discolored, crooked, misaligned or chipped teeth – vary in price.

Although they generally cost between $250 and $2,500 per tooth. In some larger cities, such as New York City, they can reach $4,000 per tooth.

This means that a full set of eight veneers can range from $2,000 to $32,000.

Recently, there has been a treatment called gum contouring, also known as gum lifting, according to Dr. Kahng.

Comparing a historic photo with one from a few weeks ago, Dr. Kahng that Taylor's broken tooth was much higher in the gums than seemed to be the case.

Gum contouring, which costs up to £350 per tooth, can correct this by removing excess tissue to reshape the gum line.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the procedure takes one to two hours and may require anesthesia.
