This guide will cover everything you need to know about getting Swarovski crystal tooth gems applied at Brightest Smiles.

What Are Swarovski Crystal Tooth Gems?

Swarovski crystal tooth gems are small, decorative crystals that are bonded to the surface of your teeth. Constructed from high-quality Swarovski crystals, these gems come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing for truly personalized designs that complement your style.

The application is non-invasive, meaning it does not involve any drilling or alteration of your tooth structure. This makes it an appealing choice for many who want to enhance their smile without undergoing extensive dental work. In fact, over 60% of individuals seeking cosmetic dental treatments consider non-invasive options as their first choice.

The Application Process

Initial Consultation During Your Appointment

Before receiving your tooth gems, it’s important to have a pre-application consultation with me. I will assess your oral health, discuss what you desire in terms of aesthetics, and see if you are a good candidate for tooth gems.

Then I will present the different types of crystals available, guiding you in selecting a design that best fits your personality. For instance, a simple yet elegant crystal might be suitable for someone looking for subtlety, while a colorful crystal gem or butterfly pattern might be perfect for someone wanting to make a statement.

Preparation

Once you've made your choice, I will prepare your teeth for the application. This step involves cleaning the tooth surface to help the bonding agent stick correctly.

Application

The application of Swarovski crystal tooth gems is efficient and straightforward. I will use a special dental adhesive, just like what is used to apply braces, to affix the gem to your tooth.

This entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, allowing you to leave the office with your sparkling smile on the very same day!

Additionally, I will discuss aftercare and maintenance tips to ensure your tooth gems last and stay in excellent condition.

Advantages of Swarovski Crystal Tooth Gems

Aesthetic Appeal

One of the most compelling benefits of Swarovski crystal tooth gems is their stunning aesthetic and safe quality. They add a unique, glamorous flair to your smile without any harmful materials, making them a popular choice to get before weddings, parties, or even just daily life.

Non-Invasive Procedure

Unlike many cosmetic dental options, applying tooth gems is non-invasive. There’s no drilling needed, so you can enjoy a dramatic change without the risks associated with other procedures.

Customization

With countless options for colors, shapes, and sizes, Swarovski crystal tooth gems can be tailored to fit your individual style. Whether you want a subtle touch or a bold accent, there's a gem that aligns with your vision.

Tooth gems can be a short or longer-lasting choice. If you decide the gem is no longer for you, your dentist can easily remove it without damaging your teeth.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Oral Hygiene

Good oral hygiene is essential after having Swarovski crystal tooth gems applied. Brush and floss your teeth as usual but take care around the gem to avoid dislodging it.

Using a soft-bristled toothbrush is recommended to prevent damage to the gem. If you use an electric toothbrush, it's best to turn it off and brush manually around tooth gems. Statistics show that maintaining a consistent oral care routine can extend the lifespan of the gem by 20%.

Regular Dental Check-ups

Keeping up with regular check-ups with your dentist are important to ensure your teeth and your tooth gem remain healthy. Your dentist can monitor the gemstone during routine visits and address any concerns.

Avoiding Certain Foods

While Swarovski crystal tooth gems are durable, it’s wise to steer clear of chewing hard or sticky foods on the side where your tooth gem is. This way you'll avoid dislodging the gem, especially in the first few days after application. Being cautious about how you eat these types of foods can significantly reduce the risk of any mishaps.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Sensitivity

Some people may notice temporary sensitivity after getting tooth gems applied. Although this sensitivity usually fades within a few days, you should consult your dentist if it continues.

Allergic Reactions

While relatively uncommon, allergic reactions to the adhesive used in applying the gems can occur. If you are prone to allergies, it’s crucial to discuss this with me during your consultation.

Final Thoughts

Swarovski crystal tooth gems offer a chic and fun way to enhance your smile without using invasive procedures. Thanks to a relatively quick application, a variety of customization options, and minimal upkeep, they are an attractive option for anyone looking to add a touch of sparkle to their dental aesthetics.
