#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Did Johnny Depp really have gold teeth implanted for Pirates of the Caribbean?

What a correct answer would look like:

Yes, Johnny Depp had gold teeth attached for Pirates of the Caribbean, but they were caps (crowns) bonded to his teeth, not surgical implants. It was Depp's idea, and he famously had his dentist apply more gold caps than necessary as a bargaining tactic. He correctly predicted that Disney executives would hate the look and ask him to remove some, allowing him to settle on the number he originally wanted. He removed most of them after filming, though he reportedly kept one or two for a short time.

What the LLM said (errors and omissions annotated)

The answer is a qualified yes, but the dental work is more accurately described as gold caps or crowns rather than surgical implants.

Here is the specific detail:

The Type of Dental Work: For his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp went to a dentist to have several of his existing front teeth fitted with real gold caps or crowns. These are covers placed over a tooth, not "implants," which are surgical replacements for a missing tooth.
Depp's Intentional Overkill: The gold teeth were entirely Depp's idea to better embody the character. Anticipating that Disney executives would want fewer gold teeth, he went to his dentist and asked them to cap more teeth than he actually wanted for the final look.
The Final Compromise: This served as a "bargaining tool." When the executives saw the number of gold caps Depp initially had, they decided to have him remove all but a few, which resulted in the final, distinctive number of gold teeth seen in the film—a number that was ultimately closer to what Depp had envisioned from the start.
Temporary for the Role: The gold caps were temporary for the filming period, and Depp removed the majority of them after production, though he reportedly kept one or two in for a time as a personal quirk.

[1] The term 'qualified yes' is accurate here. While Depp did not have surgical 'implants' (screws in the jawbone), he did have gold caps bonded to his teeth, which validates the user's core premise of having gold teeth attached for the role.

[2] Multiple sources confirm Depp visited a dentist to have gold caps (crowns) placed over his natural teeth for the role, distinguishing them from surgical implants.

[3] Depp has recounted in interviews that the gold teeth were his idea and that he intentionally had 'too many' put in initially as a negotiation tactic with Disney executives.

[4] The 'bargaining tool' story is well-documented. Depp correctly predicted Disney's resistance and used the excessive number of caps to negotiate down to the amount he actually wanted.

[5] Depp removed most of the caps after filming the first movie. Reports confirm he kept one or two for a short period afterward as a personal preference.
