Jake Cuenca Clears the Air About His Teeth: “They’re 100% Natural”

Over the past weeks, Jake Cuenca has found himself in the spotlight again, but not for a new show or film. Instead, the Kapamilya actor has become the subject of online rumors speculating about the unusually white and perfectly aligned appearance of his teeth.

Many netizens began to wonder: Are those pearly whites the result of dental veneers or even dentures?

Veneers, for those unfamiliar, are a popular cosmetic dental solution. They’re designed to improve the look of teeth, especially the front ones, by addressing issues like discoloration, gaps, chipped edges, or uneven shapes. While it's common for celebrities to get them to enhance their smiles, Jake insists that he never did.

In a recent YouTube video uploaded by Cinema Bravo, Jake finally decided to respond to the rumors. “I want to clarify this now. I’ve been quiet about it, but my teeth are 110 percent my natural teeth,” he said. “I’ve never even worn braces in my life.”

So how did his teeth get so white? According to Jake, it’s all about lifestyle changes. After quitting alcohol and cigarettes, smoking up to two packs a day, he admits, his teeth naturally improved over time. He’s now been sober for four years and hasn’t smoked in a decade.

Jake added that he also undergoes professional teeth whitening every two years, which helps maintain their brightness. “That’s my secret,” he shared.

Interestingly, Jake also addressed past criticisms, including jokes about bad breath. He says smoking was likely the reason behind it, not poor hygiene. “No one really wanted to say it was the cigarettes,” he added.

Although he used to shrug off the negative comments, Jake now says he’s considering legal action against those who continue to spread false information about his teeth. “I challenge any media outlet or content creator to bring a licensed dentist and check my teeth. If they’re not veneers, I will sue you,” he declared.

Jake isn’t backing down from defending the truth. With years of ridicule behind him and a healthier lifestyle in place, the actor is ready to draw the line when it comes to misinformation, especially when it targets something as personal as his smile.
