Saskatchewan Premier Lorne Calvert has never exactly been known for his Hollywood smile, so reporters were curious Wednesday when they saw a gleaming set of teeth on display.
Calvert had called a news conference to unveil a new gas-electric hybrid car that he's going to be driving from now on.
Before and after: Saskatchewan Premier Lorne Calvert says he's still getting used to his new teeth.

However, the GM Saturn Aura wasn't the only shiny thing attracting attention.
A reporter noticed his white, straight teeth and asked him about it.
The formerly snaggle-toothed Calvert confirmed he had some work done, though he didn't say what kind.
"After 50-some years of the old ones, they said to me — the dentist — it's time for some new ones," he said.
Calvert admitted his new dental work will take a little getting used to.
"Apples are still a challenge," he said.
Voters could be seeing a lot of the new teeth in the weeks ahead. Calvert said earlier this year he expected to call a provincial election in the fall.
