Jelly Roll must be on cloud nine right now – and not just because of all the sedatives he got pumped with in the dentist’s office – having undergone a daunting amount of dental surgery to reinvigorate his famous chompers.
According to Mr. Roll himself (coming to us live from the operating chair, thanks to a TikTok posted by his wife Bunnie), the artist underwent a series of procedures to have a set of veneers replaced – after 20 years, no less – as well as some implants put in, some cavities filled and some wisdom teeth pulled. “I’m doing a lot of shit,” he told fans. “I’m getting completely mouth reconstructive surgery, kind of.”
The video then cuts to Jelly Roll post-surgery, being asked by the dentist how he feels. “Sexy,” he replies, before noting: “I feel great, man. I feel like I’m finally taking care of stuff. I want a pretty mouth. I want a pretty smile.”
Jelly Roll went on to address the childhood bullies that would often make fun of him for his smile, quipping, “Ha ha, bitch!”

Last month, Jelly Roll announced the Beautifully Broken tour – his biggest-ever headline jaunt – taking on 37 cities across the US with Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay. There are hopes he’ll bring the tour to Australia soon, given he’s still yet to perform live on our shores.
It comes after he was crowned Male Country Artist of the Year at this year’s People’s Choice Awards, and earned two nominations at the 2024 Grammy Awards. While he didn’t win either of the latter awards, he stole hearts with an emotional video following the announcement of his nominations, tearfully telling fans: “The greatest honour an artist can ever hear is that they’ve been nominated for a Grammy. I got to hear that this morning. I haven’t cried like this since my daddy died. I tried making this video seven times, y’all. I love y’all, man, so fucking much.”
