Country music sensation Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, recently took a bold step toward achieving the smile of his dreams. In a candid moment captured in a TikTok video shared by his wife, Bunnie XO, fans got an inside look at his journey through oral surgery. Let’s dive into the details of why Jelly Roll decided it was time for a change and how this transformation is more than just cosmetic—it’s personal.
What Led Jelly Roll to the Dentist's Chair?
On Tuesday, March 12, fans got an exclusive peek into Jelly Roll’s world as Bunnie posted a TikTok video showing her husband visiting the dentist. The country singer, known for his larger-than-life personality and heartfelt music, opened up about his decision to undergo significant dental work. “I’m at the practice, getting all my teeth redone,” Jelly Roll explained to the camera, his voice steady despite having a tube hooked up to his nose. It’s moments like these that remind us how relatable even the biggest stars can be.
As the procedure unfolded, Bunnie stood by her husband’s side, holding his hand to offer support. This simple gesture highlighted the love and partnership between the couple during what could have been a nerve-wracking experience. Jelly Roll went on to explain the scope of the work he was undergoing. “I’ve had these same veneers for 20 years,” he said with a chuckle. “I’m finally getting them replaced, and I’m getting some implants and getting some cavities and wisdom teeth pulled out. I’m doing a lot of stuff.”

When asked how he felt during the procedure, Jelly Roll kept things light, responding with his signature humor: “Sexy.” His answer sent the entire room into fits of laughter, showcasing his ability to make even the most uncomfortable situations fun. But beneath the jokes lay a deeper truth. “I feel like I’m finally taking care of stuff,” he admitted. “I want a pretty smile. I had an ugly smile when I was a kid, and people picked on me. This is about more than just looking good—it’s about feeling confident.”
The video concluded with Jelly Roll walking to the car, gauze stuffed into his mouth, a testament to the lengths he’s willing to go to achieve a smile that reflects the man he’s become today.
Regret and Reflection: Jelly Roll on His Tattoos
While fans know Jelly Roll for his signature tattoos, the CMT Music Award winner recently opened up about his regrets regarding some of his ink. In a candid interview with GQ on March 12, Jelly Roll revealed that many of the tattoos he got in his youth no longer align with the man he’s become. “I regret 98 percent of these tattoos, 97, almost all of them,” he confessed. “Like core philosophies are rooted in my life when I was 17, and now, I’m 40, I’m like, ‘What the f—k was I thinking?’”
Despite his overall dissatisfaction, Jelly Roll admitted it’s hard to pinpoint where to start. “I hate ’em all, I don’t know where to start. Maybe the baby smoking the blunt? Maybe that was a little bit much,” he joked. But not all of his tattoos were done on a whim. The Grammy nominee later shared the significance behind the cross tattoo on his cheek, revealing a deeper emotional connection. “My most meaningful tattoo, as cliché as it is, is probably the big cross,” he explained. “It was symbolic of a change in me, of kind of a new beginning. Understanding that I need to bear my own cross and carry my own cross as the good book says. So that was kind of a constant reminder.”
A New Chapter for Jelly Roll
Through both his oral surgery and his reflections on his tattoos, Jelly Roll is embracing a new chapter in his life. These changes aren’t just about aesthetics—they’re about self-care, growth, and finding peace with who he is today. For fans, this journey serves as a powerful reminder that even our idols face moments of self-doubt and transformation. And isn’t that what makes them so relatable?
