tooth gems 101: a sparkling trend we love

Tooth gems are taking the beauty world by storm, adding a touch of sparkle to smiles everywhere. This fun, customizable trend is perfect for those who want to elevate their look with a subtle yet striking accessory. But before you jump on the tooth gem bandwagon, here’s everything you need to know about this unique beauty trend.

What Are Tooth Gems?

Tooth gems are small jewels or charms that are bonded to the surface of your teeth using a safe, dental-grade adhesive.

They come in various designs, including:

• Crystals (often Swarovski or other high-quality stones)

• Gold or silver shapes (like stars, hearts, or initials)

• Minimalist designs for a subtle sparkle

At Finesse Lash & Beauty, we stock genuine Swarovski crystals, opals, and 18-22 kt solid yellow + white gold pieces. Crystals are available in a large variety of different colours, shapes, and sizes!

Tooth gems are temporary, non-invasive, and completely customizable, making them a popular choice for self-expression.

How Are Tooth Gems Applied?

The application process is quick and painless:

1. A professional thoroughly cleans and dries your tooth.

2. A small amount of dental etch, bond, and composite is applied to the tooth. (just like braces!)

3. The gem is carefully placed and secured with a curing light.

The process typically takes about 20 minutes, and aftercare is minimal.

How Long Do Tooth Gems Last?

Tooth gems can last anywhere from 2 months to a over 1 year, depending on your oral hygiene, individual enamel, and lifestyle habits. Some people wear them for long periods, while others prefer to have them professionally removed or replaced when they’re ready for a new look!

Caring for Your Tooth Gem

To keep your tooth gem looking its best:

• Follow correct preparation and aftercare instructions provided.

• Brush and floss around the gem to maintain proper oral hygiene & prevent plaque buildup.

• Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups, cleanings, or to have your gem removed.

Are Tooth Gems Safe?

When applied by a trained professional, tooth gems are safe and won’t damage your teeth. Crystals used for tooth gems are also 100% lead-free, making them safe for the mouth. The adhesive is designed to bond securely without altering your tooth’s enamel. However, proper care and maintenance are essential to avoid any potential issues.
