He says Lil&#8217; Wayne has grills. I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re the same thing.

But, you added Lil&#8217; Wayne into the equation which muddies the waters a bit. Lil&#8217; Wayne has gone on the record saying they are not a grill. In fact, he said that he&#8217;s dying with them because changing them would require surgery. You can see the conversation in the video below. That would imply that he has <a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\/implant-dentist.html\">dental implants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Oe9dge9JXg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So why is that muddy? Because his dentist implied it&#8217;s a grill on his website. Though, since then, all articles he had on his site about Lil&#8217; Wayne have been removed. So, either, his dentist wasn&#8217;t honest about what happened, Lil&#8217; Wayne just didn&#8217;t like him using him to drum up business, or Lil&#8217; Wayne has no idea which procedure he actually had. I do know whatever he did cost him over $150,000, which unless he&#8217;s wearing real diamonds, would make me think it&#8217;s implants.<\/p>\n<h2>A Grill versus Dental Implants<\/h2>\n<p>But, to answer your original question. A grill is removable and just goes over your teeth. Dental implants are surgically implanted and are permanent. In fact, they&#8217;re as strong as natural teeth.<\/p>\n<p>You can still get them decorated like a grill if you wanted to. It just increases the price for you. Also, unless you&#8217;re getting dental implants on all your teeth (which would be ridiculously expensive) make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\/zoom-whitening.html\">whiten your teeth first<\/a>. For whatever color your <a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\/porcelain-crowns.html\">implant crowns<\/a> are made is permanent. If you want white implants, you&#8217;ll want them to match white teeth.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\">Dr. David Potts<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend says I&#8217;m getting a grill because I&#8217;m getting dental implants.
