Chet Hanks is making the best out of being stuck in Colombia.

The Running Point actor, son of Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks, took to Instagram this week and unveiled his complete tooth transformation, revealing he got veneers while in Medellín, crediting Perfect Smile Experience for his new "perfect and natural" bite.

"Man, it's more complicated than just putting the veneers on your teeth. They've got to shape them so they match perfectly with your jaw and your bite. That takes real skill, so I'm glad I came here," he shared in a video posted to his Instagram Stories, adding: "Man, my bite feels completely perfect and natural. My teeth, I didn't have to choose the shape because they went with the shape of my natural teeth. Perfect, you know? I'm so happy."

His latest video comes one week after sharing another video on Instagram claiming he was stuck in Colombia, because he traveled to the country without his U.S. passport and instead with his Greek passport (he as well as his parents are dual citizens).

"I'm literally stuck in Colombia. I'm stuck in Medellín,” he said, explaining he was being asked for a green card to fly back to the States. "Granted, there's worse places to be stuck, but I literally have no [expletive] idea what I'm gonna do, and the only embassy to get this [expletive] settled is in Bogotá."
