Tooth Gems
Tooth gems are small gems or metal figures attached to the teeth using dentistry glue. We use Swarovski Crystal gems, gold, and other precious metals.
Tooth Gems FAQ
-
How are tooth gems applied?
Tooth gems are applied using professional dentistry adhesive, the same way an orthodontic bracket is attached to the teeth.
-
How long do tooth gems last?
Most tooth gems will fall off naturally from six weeks to a year, although they can last years depending on the lifestyle of the wearer.
-
Can tooth gems be removed?
If you do not want your tooth gem anymore, you can usually just pick them off without causing damage. You can also work with your dentist to have the gem removed. Normal brushing will get rid of any excess glue.
-
Will tooth gems cause damage to my teeth?
No, the jewel is bonded to the teeth the same way an orthodonic bracket is applied. The procedure and removal are the same processes. When removed it will simply pop off and polishing or brushing will remove any remaining bonding material.
-
Can I brush my teeth as normal?
Yes, please brush your teeth! Do not use an electric toothbrush or ultrasonic toothbrush 24 hours after the jewel is applied. Brush as normal, because a tooth gem does offer an extra place for food or bacteria to hide. Proper dental care will ensure you have no issues.
-
Are your gems lead-free?
Yes, we offer only the highest quality gems that are completely lead-free.
