Your tooth gem appointment, step by step.
We look at your smile together and pick the tooth and the spot where the gem shows and stays out of your bite.
We make sure the tooth and gums are healthy, then clean and prepare the surface so the bond holds.
A small dab of dental bonding material goes on the tooth and the gem is set into it. No drilling and no numbing are needed.
We confirm the gem is secure and smooth against your lips, and you’re on your way.
Small gem, big difference.
Are tooth gems safe?
When a dental professional applies the gem, Cleveland Clinic’s dentist says the risk of harm is low. The tooth generally doesn’t have to be changed: a strong bonding material holds the gem on the surface. A gem can stay on for months or even a couple of years — it varies from person to person — and may eventually come off on its own. (Cleveland Clinic)
There are real downsides to know about. Experts quoted by the American Dental Association warn that oral jewelry can collect plaque, which can lead to gum irritation and decay, and that placing or removing a gem the wrong way can permanently damage enamel. That’s why at-home kits and non-dental settings are a bad idea. (ADA News)
Removal. Don’t pry a gem off yourself. We loosen it by grinding away some of the bonding material, then polish the tooth smooth. Aftercare. Brush and floss normally, paying extra attention around the gem, and keep your regular cleanings. If your gums bleed or feel puffy, ask us about a gum evaluation — healthy gums come first.

The tooth needs to be healthy. If there is decay or gum disease, we’ll recommend treating that first, because bonding a gem onto an unhealthy tooth can make problems worse.
