Johnny Depp recently showcased what appears to be a brighter smile after his previously problematic teeth gained viral attention last year.
Did Captain Jack Sparrow get a new smile?
In a recent Instagram video, which Page Six has confirmed was taken recently, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star is seen enjoying his vacation in the Bahamas. Depp, who was at a beachside bar in Exuma, interacted with patrons and staff, flashing his new pearly whites and even helping out behind the bar.

Depp’s evident enthusiasm and interaction with fans were notable as he posed for photos, putting his arm around the bartender and getting behind the bar to make his drink.
Comments on the video reflect the noticeable change in Depp’s appearance. One viewer remarked, “Are his teeth looking brighter than ever before?” Another added, “It looks like his teeth are straighter,” while a third was convinced, “He definitely got his teeth done! Looks great.”
Representatives for Depp have not yet commented on his apparent dental makeover, but public opinion seems positive, with many noting that he looks “amazing, happy, and healthy.”
Depp previously drew attention at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, not just for his role in “Jeanne du Barry,” but also for his discolored and crooked teeth, which became a focal point of online discussions.
Critics at the time expressed their dismay, with some saying, “Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally ROTTING,” and others noting, “Seeing that pic of Johnny Depp’s teeth on my timeline just ruined my mood.”
Celebrity dentist Dr. Apa had suggested that Depp’s dental issues were likely due to “aggressive” wear and tear, possibly exacerbated by his consumption of espresso and cigarillos. Dr. Apa noted that Depp’s teeth appeared to have been stained and not cleaned in years.
Depp has previously admitted to poor dental hygiene, even boasting about his dental imperfections. In a 1995 interview with Premiere magazine, he revealed, “I’ve got loads of cavities,” and described an unfinished root canal as “a rotten little stub.” Depp expressed pride in his flawed smile, likening it to the purposeful imperfections in Native American beadwork.

In contrast, Depp’s recent appearance suggests a significant improvement, reflecting perhaps a new approach to his dental care.
