The procedure Johnny Depp underwent, according to sources who spoke to Radar Online, was an intense dental treatment, according to reports.
The issue became more noticeable when the 62-year-old actor made an appearance at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. In 1995, he himself admitted to having “several cavities” and needing a root canal.
“But I like it. It’s like when Indigenous people made something with beads — they always added imperfections. I’m proud of that. When I see people with perfect teeth, it drives me crazy,” he said at the time.
Despite being proud of his lifestyle, Johnny Depp’s lack of dental care began pushing studios away.
“His dental problems became so obvious that the studios could no longer ignore them. He realized he had to do something if he really wanted to return to his old form,” one source told Radar Online.
Another insider said he only agreed to the procedure when he realized it could jeopardize both his health and his career.
“What he underwent wasn’t just routine cosmetic work. It was reconstructive — intense, deeply uncomfortable, incredibly painful, and time-consuming,” the source explained.
Johnny Depp went through a treatment that included extractions, deep cleaning, repairs, and “custom porcelain work”, with the application of veneers.
