The 42-year-old old travelled to Ireland last week to undergo treatment, which he hopes will fix his speech defect by closing the gap in his front teeth.
Dentist Barry Buckley is carrying out the work at Clane Hospital, Co Kildare, which will also see all his other teeth slightly lengthened.


Eubank said: "Before long nobody will be able to accuse me of having a lisp. He's seeing to it."
Dr Buckley explained that although the main purpose of the work was to give Eubank a "new image" initial work had improved the boxer's speech impediment.
He said: "Chris is having the full cosmetic makeover.
"We're getting rid of the gap between his front teeth, adding length to the teeth and widening his smile slightly.
"The main purpose of the work is to make his teeth look better. They are not a bad set of teeth but they are a little bit worse for wear because of his career.
"But it has already started to improve his lisp as his speech is altered.
"He told me 'I´m having trouble with my TH but my S is much better'. The improvement in his lisp is down to closing the gap between the front teeth."
Eubank´s new porcelain veneers are being crafted at the Da Vinci Laboratory Los Angeles.
One of the world´s leading dental technicians, Daniel Materdomini, is making them, and they are guaranteed for life.
Eubank has already seen what his new smile will look like, using a state-of-the art computer programme.
Dr Buckley added: "Most people just want their front teeth improved, but Chris wants every tooth in his mouth done.
"He won´t be getting any change out of £30,000."
Eubank will return to the hospital to finish the treatment in about five weeks.
The former WBO middleweight and super-middleweight champion, famously mocked his lisp in 1999 when he appeared in a Nescafe coffee advert under the headline: "Thimply the Betht."
