Michael Strahan he may have joked about “fixing” his iconic empty tooth, but now many people who really want the real procedure are looking for Strahan’s doctor.
Dr. Lee Gause, Strahan dentist, told TMZ … he received a flood of calls from people across the country who don’t care if it was a April Fool’s Day prank … they think Dr. Gause made Michael look so much better , and they lack part of that action. In all, more than 100 people with dental disabilities called.
He says that some potential patients have already booked their flights to have the procedure done at his Smile Design Manhattan clinic in New York.
The cost is not cheap – between $ 5,000 and $ 50,000 … depending on how unstable the chewers are. Now, it is possible for people to want something temporary like Mike … the wax used to stage the joke – a Prenew Preview – costs a very reasonable $ 350.
Now, Dr. Gause says that Strahan is a real patient of his, but if he asked to fill the gap permanently, he wouldn’t do it because it is his trademark. Hmm … let’s take your word for it.
