What are Dental Gems?
Dental gems are tiny decorative stones or crystals affixed to the surface of your teeth to enhance your smile’s aesthetic appeal. They come in various materials, including Swarovski crystals, gold and even diamonds, allowing for a range of customisation to suit your personal style. The application involves bonding the gem to the tooth’s enamel using a dental-grade adhesive, ensuring a secure and safe attachment.
Benefits of Dental Gems
Quick and Painless Application
The procedure is swift and involves no discomfort, making it an easy way to enhance your smile.
Non-permanent and Reversible
Dental gems can be removed without any lasting effects to your teeth, offering a temporary aesthetic change.
Trendy Smile Enhancement
They provide a fashionable way to personalise your appearance and express individuality.
Safe for Natural Teeth
When applied professionally, dental gems do not damage the enamel or affect the health of your teeth.
The Dental Gem Application Process
Applying a dental gem is a quick and straightforward procedure performed during a standard appointment. The entire process usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes and involves no drilling or damage to the tooth.
Here’s an overview of what to expect on your visit:
-
1
Tooth Preparation
The selected tooth is cleaned and dried thoroughly to ensure optimal adhesion.
-
2
Adhesive Application
A dental-grade adhesive is carefully applied to the tooth's surface.
-
3
Gem Placement
The chosen gem is positioned onto the adhesive with precision.
-
4
Curing
A special light is used to harden the adhesive, securing the gem in place.
-
Once applied, dental gems can last anywhere from a few months to a few years, depending on your oral habits and care.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Looking after your dental gem is simple and helps it stay in place for as long as possible.
Oral Hygiene
Maintain your usual brushing and flossing routine, but take extra care around the gem to avoid accidentally loosening it. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush can help protect both the gem and your enamel.
Avoid Hard Foods
Biting into hard items like nuts, ice or lollies can put pressure on dental gems and increase the risk of them coming off. Try to chew on the opposite side of your mouth when possible.
Regular Dental Check-ups
We recommend keeping up with your routine dental visits so we can monitor the gem’s placement and make sure your overall oral health stays on track.
Are Dental Gems Safe?
When applied by dental professionals, dental gems are safe and do not harm your teeth. Professional application ensures proper placement and minimises risks associated with DIY methods, such as enamel damage or improper bonding. It’s important to consult with your dentist to determine if dental gems are suitable for you.
Customisation Options
There are a variety of customisation possibilities with dental gems:
- Materials: Choose from crystals, gold, diamonds or other precious stones.
- Designs: Select from simple single gems to intricate patterns or shapes.
- Multiple Gems: Opt for multiple gems to create a unique and personalised look.
Who Are Dental Gems Suitable For?

- Personal Style: Those wanting to express their personality through their appearance.
- Age Requirements: Minors may require parental consent.
- Dental Health: Individuals should have healthy teeth and gums; those with dental issues or weak enamel should consult with their dentist first.
