FAQs

  • Tooth gems are semi-permanent and last anywhere from 2 months to a year, sometimes longer!

  • Tooth gems eventually fall off on their own. They can also easily be removed by a dental professional. You should never attempt to remove your own gems.

  • They don’t damage teeth! When properly placed & removed, and properly cared for, they are harmless to tooth enamel.

  • The crystals are lead-free glass, the lab opals are silica and resin, and the gold charms range from 18k – 24k white or yellow gold.

  • They are applied to the surface of your teeth with a dental adhesive system; very similar to how an orthodontic bracket is placed. No drilling or pain!

  • They can be placed around wire-style retainers, and most night guards, but not under active alignment therapy. Please bring your appliance with you to your appointment so we can be sure!

    I also love decorating aligners if you are in active alignment therapy!

  • Do not touch your gem or play with it right after application. Do not eat for atleast an hour. You can drink water right after! Eat softer foods for 12 hours following. Do not use electric toothbrush on that tooth for 12 hours. Make sure you visit the dentist twice a year!

  • Gems can only be placed on natural teeth (enamel).

    If interested in a applying gems on non natural tooth structure, we can only use a temporary clear solution that can be removed yourself and will last 2 weeks or so!
