Those considering purchasing a grill beware - Lil Wayne reportedly underwent major dental work that included eight root canals in one sitting.

According to TMZ.com, Wayne took part in an eight-hour procedure that included work on his grill, numerous tooth implants redone (and some implants added), "and had the few real teeth he had left repaired."

In light of the dental surgery, Wayne's prison sentence for criminal weapons possession was postponed from February 25 to March 2.

In 2008, Wayne missed a court date due similar dental issues.
