Tooth Jewelry

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you , why not make it unforgettable? If you’re looking for a unique way to enhance your smile’s appearance, tooth jewelry might be the perfect choice. This growing trend allows you to express your style and personality through subtle, sparkling embellishments on your teeth.

At Naperville Dental Studios in Naperville, IL, we offer safe, professional tooth jewelry application designed to elevate your smile without damaging your enamel or affecting your oral health. Whether you prefer something elegant and minimal or bold and glamorous, our dental team can help you achieve a dazzling smile that truly stands out.

What Is Tooth Jewelry?

Tooth jewelry refers to small gems, crystals, or metallic designs that are securely bonded to the surface of a tooth, usually one of the upper front teeth, for a decorative effect. These tiny accessories come in various shapes, colors, and materials, including:

• Swarovski crystals
• Gold or platinum studs
• Tiny diamonds or gemstones
• Custom designs and symbols

Unlike older trends that involved drilling into teeth, modern tooth jewelry applications are completely non-invasive. The jewel is attached using a safe dental adhesive, similar to what’s used for orthodontic brackets, ensuring there’s no pain, enamel damage, or long-term impact on your teeth.

Your oral health remains our top priority, even when adding a touch of glamour!

The Tooth Jewelry Application Process

Getting tooth jewelry is a quick and comfortable process that typically takes only 15–30 minutes. Here’s what to expect at Naperville Dental Studios:

• Consultation: We start with a short consultation to assess your dental health and discuss design options, placement, and jewelry styles that complement your smile.
• Tooth Preparation: The tooth surface is cleaned and dried to ensure proper adhesion.
• Application: Using a special bonding agent, your dentist applies the jewelry precisely where you want it. No drilling or anesthesia is required.
• Curing: A curing light hardens the adhesive, securing the jewel in place.
• Polish and Aftercare: We polish the tooth gently and review aftercare instructions to help your new accessory last as long as possible.

The entire process is completely pain-free, and you can eat and drink normally almost immediately afterward.

How Long Does Tooth Jewelry Last?

With proper care, tooth jewelry can last anywhere from six months to two years. Longevity depends on factors like the type of adhesive, jewelry size, and your oral hygiene habits. At Naperville Dental Studios, we use dental-grade materials and adhesives for maximum durability.

If you ever wish to remove your tooth gem, our dentists can do so easily without leaving behind marks or damage to your tooth surface.

Caring For Your Tooth Jewelry

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for keeping your smile healthy and your tooth jewelry sparkling. Follow these tips to care for your new accessory:

• Brush gently around the jewelry to prevent plaque buildup.
• Avoid biting into hard foods (like nuts or ice) with the decorated tooth.
• Floss carefully to prevent loosening the jewelry.
• Schedule regular cleanings at Naperville Dental Studios to keep your smile bright and healthy.

Our team will check your jewelry during your routine dental visits to ensure it remains secure and your enamel stays protected.
