A tooth gem is a form of dental bling, much like the “grill” was a decade ago. It brings together teeth and jewelry, and is incredibly popular cosmetic dentistry within trendy and fashion-forward circles.
Unlike a temporary grill, the tooth gem is more permanent but does not damage the tooth.
The gems are typically applied using dental adhesive. The process is painless, non-invasive, and doesn’t cause damage to the teeth if done correctly. The tooth is first cleaned and dried, then the gem is glued to the surface. Having a professional do this is essential to avoid any potential harm to your oral health. If you decide you no longer want the gem, it should be removed by a professional. The removal process is typically simple and does not damage the tooth.
Tooth gem implants can last for 3 months to 2 years without coming loose. You can expect the gem to fall off if the tooth sustains impact or trauma. The longevity of results from this semi-permanent cosmetic dental procedure depends on a few other factors.
The bonding material used in the procedure.
The condition of the patient’s tooth before bonding the gem.
The patient’s oral hygiene routine.
Fitting a tooth gem is considered a low-maintenance procedure, and you don’t have to do anything to preserve it.

With a teeth gem, you can still brush and floss normally, but you need to be careful not to dislodge the gem. Maintaining regular dental check-ups is also important to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy.
