What is the process?

Much like having orthodontic brackets placed and removed but prettier! We use the same dental methods and bonding materials as they do at your dental office.

Is there any discomfort?

Tooth gem application is generally painless, the gem is simply bonded to the surface of your tooth, with no drilling involved. Some clients notice very mild, short-lived sensitivity right after application, which usually settles quickly. Teeth whitening can cause some temporary sensitivity to hot or cold for a day or two afterward, which is normal and typically fades on its own.

Is it reversible?

YES! You can have it removed in seconds by a dental team member at your next visit. Just like with braces, everything goes back to the way it was.

How long does it last?

Your tooth gem is designed to stay put long-term with proper care, and we back it with a two-month warranty plus one complimentary replacement within that window if it's needed. With good oral hygiene (brushing and flossing as normal), many clients enjoy their gem well beyond that but how long it lasts can vary from person to person.

What about brushing my teeth?

ABSOLUTELY! I wouldn't do anything that impedes brushing so go right ahead and brush and floss every day and every night.

Can I do teeth whitening?

YOU BET! Although it would be ideal to whiten prior to adding some bling to your dazzling smile, it's perfectly fine to whiten with your gem in place. 

What if I wear a retainer?

BRING it with you, we'll work around it.

What about my night guard?

That one may be tricky, you may have to choose the opposing arch to bling. Bring it with you and let's talk about it.

Can I have a dental cleaning and polishing?

YES! YES! YES! Your hygienist will know how to work around it and scaling and polishing are not an issue.

What about eating?

WELL...You will have to make some adjustments like not biting into an apple on the side with the gem.

Will I LOVE it?

OMG YES! You are going to fall in love with your smile! But do keep in mind that results may vary from person to person.
