Sign him up for a good cleaning.
Despite fans believing Johnny Depp’s teeth are “rotting” inside his mouth, celebrity dentist Dr. Apa tells exclusively that it’s a simple case of “aggressive” wear and tear.
“He has wear, which has been a cumulative effect over a lifetime,” Apa explains.
“Wear like that, sometimes we see it in 30-year- olds in really aggressive cases and sometimes we see it in cases like Depp,” he says of the 59-year-old.
Apa, who is behind the smiles of Ramona Singer, Kendall Jenner, Simon Cowell and more celebrities, believes Depp’s passion for espresso and cigarillos is to blame for the “stainy” chompers, which he says likely haven’t been cleaned in “years.”

“I would do veneers because he needs his bite reestablished,” Apa explains to . “He’s worn his teeth down so much.”
Apa suggests a “rugged but natural” look for Depp, whose status as a rocker is becoming as well known as his Hollywood career.
