Body-Safe— Tooth gems at BW Beauty are done using the finest materials in the world: genuine Swarovski crystals, diamonds and 18 Karat Gold. These materials are chosen because they're safe to be in the body long-term and will never tarnish or break down.

Dental-Grade— Tooth gems are attached to the tooth surface using dental composite – the exact same product used by dentists for fillings, adhering orthodontic braces, or Invisalign buttons. The composite used for tooth gems at BW Beauty is of the highest quality, trusted by dental professionals in clinics today. It is specifically designed for oral use and formulated to be non-damaging and easily removable.

Non-Invasive— Tooth gems are a non-invasive service that does not require drilling or any modification to the tooth structure. Gems are bonded to the tooth surface without causing any harm or damage when done correctly by a professional and maintained with proper aftercare by the client.

Temporary— Tooth gems are temporary and removable. They can be easily taken off without leaving any lasting effects on the tooth enamel, but removal must be done by a dental professional to ensure safe detachment and minimize any potential risks. Your dental office may charge you for the removal process. The gems also may fall off on their own over time, and any residue left behind can be removed at your routine hygiene appointment.

Oral Hygiene Considerations— Proper oral hygiene is non-negotiable when wearing tooth gems. Maintain a regular brushing and flossing routine, keeping the gems and your teeth clean, and visit the dentist regularly for check-ups to ensure overall dental health.

As with any dental procedure or accessory, it’s important to consult with a dental professional before getting tooth gems. They can provide guidance, evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums, and ensure that tooth gems are a suitable option for you. It's highly recommended you have a dental cleaning before having tooth gems applied.

At BW Beauty, both the aesthetics and safety of tooth gems are a priority, only using materials that meet strict quality standards and ensuring the process is performed by a recognized expert.

Proper aftercare of your tooth gems is key to enjoying them for as long as possible! Here's what you need to know:

Immediate Care— The dental-grade products used for tooth gems at BW Beauty means no strict aftercare requirements – you can eat, drink, brush and floss as normal! Your tooth gems are set and secure immediately upon leaving the studio.

Oral Care— Keep up on regular brushing, especially on and around the gems, to prevent build-up and keep your teeth and gems healthy.

Protect Your Gems— Remember that excessive pressure or hard bites (like chewy candies, biting into an apple, or a crunchy sandwich) will put your tooth gems at risk. To protect your gems, chew on the opposite side of your mouth, and cut larger food items into smaller, more manageable pieces.

I want you to enjoy your tooth gems for as long as possible! With proper care, tooth gems can last for 3 months up to 3+ years. Keep in mind, the longevity of tooth gems varies and depends on aftercare maintenance, and oral health.

I offer one free replacement within 1 month of your initial service if you need it. My goal is to provide you with not only gorgeous tooth gems but also peace of mind, knowing that I stand behind my work.

BW Beauty has over 100+ jewelry options in stock, and over 500+ can be custom ordered at any time, at no extra cost to you! There is something for everyone, guaranteed.

WHAT ARE TOOTH GEMS?

Tooth gems are decorative crystals or gold charms that are attached to the surface of your teeth with dental composite in the exact same process as applying an orthodontic bracket (braces) to the tooth.

ARE TOOTH GEMS SAFE?

Tooth gems are safe for your teeth when applied by an experienced professional. The products used at BW Beauty are the very same you'd find in a dental clinic. They're designed to be gentle on your teeth and easily removable. The application process is non-invasive and does not cause any damage or alteration to your tooth structure. It's also important that you keep your gems and teeth clean, visit your dentist every 6 months, and maintain good regular oral hygiene.

HOW LONG DO TOOTH GEMS LAST?

The longevity of tooth gems can vary depending on several factors, like oral hygiene practices and dietary habits. On average, tooth gems can last anywhere from 3 months to 3+ years. They can be easily removed at any time by a dental professional.

WILL TOOTH GEMS CAUSE ANY SENSITIVITY OR DISCOMFORT?

Tooth gems are generally well-tolerated and should not cause any sensitivity or discomfort. However, in rare cases, some may experience temporary sensitivity or a slight adjustment period. If you have any concerns, always consult with a dental professional.

CAN TOOTH GEMS BE APPLIED TO ANY TOOTH?

Tooth gems can be applied to most healthy teeth, but the specific tooth placement may vary depending on factors like tooth shape, size, and your bite. I am here to help suggest the best placement options and find the perfect fit for your smile!

CAN I EAT AND DRINK NORMALLY WITH TOOTH GEMS?

You can eat and drink normally with tooth gems, but's best to avoid biting into hard or sticky foods that could potentially dislodge the gem. They are meant to come off with enough pressure. Maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, will also help ensure the longevity of your tooth gems.

HOW CAN I REMOVE TOOTH GEMS?

Tooth gems can be quickly and easily removed by a dental professional without causing any harm to your teeth. It is important to never attempt to remove the gem yourself, as improper removal can potentially damage your tooth enamel. There may be a cost associated with gem removal at your dental office.

CAN TOOTH GEMS BE APPLIED TO EXISTING DENTAL WORK?

No, only natural teeth are a suitable option for tooth gems.

DO MY TEETH NEED TO BE PERFECT TO GET TOOTH GEMS?

Tooth gems are all about self-expression and embracing your unique style. They are not limited to ‘perfect’ teeth alone (because there's no such thing!). Your smile is unique, and that's exactly what makes it beautiful. I specialize in providing a wide range of tooth gem options to suit all smiles.

WHAT IF THE JEWELRY FALLS OFF AND I SWALLOW IT?

Tooth gems have no sharp edges and are so tiny. It will naturally and safely pass through your system. All gem options at BW Beauty are lead-free, non-toxic and body-safe 18k gold and genuine Swarovski crystals.

CAN I STILL GO TO THE DENTIST AND HAVE MY TEETH CLEANED WITH TOOTH GEMS?

You can, and should, resume regular dental hygiene with tooth gems.

CAN I GET TOOTH GEMS IF I WEAR RETAINERS OR A MOUTHGUARD?

Wearing retainers may decrease the lifespan of your tooth gems, but typically can be done with no issue. However, as they are constantly improving the technology and the design of retainers may change, it cannot be guaranteed that your dental appliances will fit over the tooth gems.

It's not advisable to apply gems underneath Invisalign because aligners are designed based on very precise measurements of your teeth. If the trays don't fit perfectly, they may not track properly, meaning they won't follow the predetermined path of movement. This can result in delays in your treatment or even setbacks.

You may consider opting for Temporary Tooth Tattoos or the Opal Tooth to better fit under your dental appliances, or come back to BW Beauty once your orthodontic treatment is complete!
