Tooth Gem: What is it, How is it Applied, and What Should You Pay Attention to?

What is a Tooth Gem?

Dental jewelry consists of small, sparkling stones or decorative accessories applied temporarily or semi-permanently to the surface of teeth. These small crystals, especially those placed on front teeth, add an aesthetic and personal touch to your smile.

• Quick Procedure: The procedure is usually completed within 10-15 minutes.

• Safe and Comfortable: They are bonded using special bonding methods without causing any damage to the tooth tissue.

How to Apply?

1. Tooth Preparation: The tooth surface is gently cleaned and polished.

2. Bonding Procedure: A special adhesive material (resin) is applied, and the dental jewelry is positioned onto the tooth.

3. Light Curing: The adhesive is cured using UV or LED light. The stone adheres firmly to the tooth surface.

4. Checking and Final Touches: Excess resin is removed, and the position and brilliance of the stone are checked.

Who is it suitable for?

• For those seeking aesthetic changes: Anyone who desires to add brightness or a different look to their smile.

• For those seeking personalized designs: You can express yourself through the size, color, or shape of your dental jewelry.

• Dental Health: It is recommended that there are no cavities, gum disease, or excessive tartar buildup. If necessary, these problems are treated first.

Things to Consider After Treatment

• Oral Hygiene: Continue brushing your teeth regularly. Gently clean around the dental jewels to prevent plaque and stain buildup.

• Hard and Sticky Foods: To prevent your tooth jewels from loosening over time, avoid biting into very hard foods.

• Regular Checkups: Have your teeth and gums checked at intervals recommended by your dentist to assess how well the jewelry fits.

• Temporary Application: Dental jewelry can be easily removed when desired without leaving permanent damage to the tooth surface.
