Nobody likes to feel like their grill is busted. Especially when they show off their chompers on stage and in interviews all the time. That might explain why Jelly Roll recently went in for some major dental reconstruction, which, of course, was thoroughly documented by his wife, Bunnie Xo.

In a hilarious TikTok video, Jelly, 39, lays back in the dentist’s chair while visibly sedated on the dental good stuff to undergo a series of procedures, including wisdom teeth removal, cavity filling and a replacement of his 20-year-old veneers. “I’m at the practice getting all my teeth redone,” Jelly smiles in the minute-long clip in which he leans back with a nasal cannula taped to his face to keep the oxygen flowing.

“I’ve had these same veneers for 20 years,” he explains, smiling wide to display his chompers. “I’m finally getting them replaced, and I’m getting some implants and I’m getting some cavities and some wisdom teeth pulled out. I’m doing a lot of s–t. Completely mouth reconstructive surgery kinda.”

When the doc asks him how he’s feeling, the singer says “sexy” as the room breaks out in laughter, adding “I’m feeling great, man. I feel like I’m finally taking care of stuff.” Loving parter Bunnie tells him, “I’m proud of you!,” as Jelly says “I want a pretty smile.” After Bunnie assures him that he’s going to have the “most beautiful” smile, Jelly Roll reveals why his dental health is so important to him.

“I had an ugly smile when I was a kid. People picked on me and made fun of me and stuff — haha, b–ch!,” he laughs. At one point the dentist informs Jelly that he’s biting his fingers, teasing that he might bite him back, before the clip concludes with a sweet shot of Bunnie’s tatted-up, long-fingernailed hand holding Jelly’s equally inked up paw. A post-surgery clip then catches the singer as he’s leaving the office, declaring, “I slept good” as he’s walked to a waiting car while flashing the metal horns two-finger salute.

On Thursday (March 14), Jelly Roll was announced as one of the first round of performers for the 2024 CMA Fest in Nashville, slated to take place from June 6-9. Other acts slated to take the stage at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium include Kelsea Ballerini, Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan, Jordan Davis, HARDY, Cody Johnson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, Megan Moroney, Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce, The War And Treaty, Thomas Rhett, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman, with additional performances and collaborations to be announced in coming weeks.
