A small touch that makes a big difference: dental jewellery is a simple, pain-free and reversible way to add a personal touch to your smile. Professionally applied by your dentist in Zug.
Tooth jewellery — also known as a ‘tooth gem’ — is a small gemstone that is bonded to the front of a tooth using a special dental adhesive. It is usually a glass crystal or a small diamond that sparkles in the light and gives your smile a unique character.
The procedure is completely painless and takes just a few minutes. The enamel is neither ground down nor permanently altered — the gem can be removed at any time without leaving any residue if you no longer wish to have it.
First, we thoroughly clean the tooth surface and then apply a special adhesive. The gemstone is then positioned with millimetre precision and cured with light — and that’s it. The entire process usually takes no longer than ten to fifteen minutes and is completely painless.
If you’d like, you can also bring your favourite gemstone with you. We’ll be happy to advise you on which size and shape are best suited to your tooth and your smile.
Small glass crystals or diamonds are most commonly used — in various sizes and cuts. Round stones are a classic and popular choice, as they look particularly subtle. Larger brilliant-cut or heart-shaped stones are slightly more eye-catching. As a general rule, the smaller the stone, the more natural the overall look.
How long tooth jewellery lasts depends on the quality of the stone, its positioning and individual eating habits. On average, a professionally applied Tooth Gem lasts from several months to over a year. Very hard foods, frequent teeth grinding or mechanical stress can reduce its adhesion.
If the gemstone comes loose, it can simply be re-adhered. The tooth enamel remains intact — this is a major advantage over permanent dental alterations such as veneers.
Yes — provided the tooth jewellery is applied professionally by a dentist. The adhesive used is approved for dental use and does not damage the tooth enamel. It is crucial that the surface is carefully cleaned and properly pre-treated before application. We advise against using ‘Tooth Gems’ purchased online or from non-dental studios — these often use unsuitable adhesives that can damage the enamel.
