Singer Miley Cyrus has undergone dental surgery in which she has lost five of her teeth.

The 22-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday to recapture the whole surgery, reports dailymail.co.uk.

In one image, she appears dazed, with one eye half-closed and her mouth half open, while wearing a red hoodie. "Ouch swoll AF,` she captioned the image.

In another photograph, the gauze tucked into one side of her mouth is visible, with the caption: `SAVE ME. F***ING MIZZY.`

She also shared a photograph with her mother Tish and added that she was a great nurse.

Cyrus was not in too much pain to work up a collage as well. She posted a photograph showing two dentists operating on an image of her winking, tongue waggling face.

Alongside the image, she wrote: `Twas in da best handzzzz doe Nurse @cheythom & Dr. @stellamaxwell took goooood currrr of me & muah pearly whites.`
