Treat yourself to tooth gems!

Tooth gems are crystals and gold that is applied to the surface of teeth using professional techniques and dental products. This is a safe and effective way to add a touch of personality to your smile.

Yes! Dentists and hygienists are trained to remove dental composite that is used to apply your tooth gems. Any remaining composite must be scaled and polished off the tooth before another application on the same spot. Dazzle Teeth does not do removals. Instead, we've partnered with Floss Oral Hygiene, a hygienist confident in the safe removal of tooth gems. Visit them here: Megan Wilkinson | Floss Oral Hygiene Limited | Christchurch

Yes! Whitening can make your teeth feel more sensitive especially if it is done professionally. We recommend you wait 14 days after professional whitening so your tooth gem experience is as comfortable as possible. This includes overnight whitening trays. At home whitening strips are not as strong but it is still recommended to have a break to ensure your enamel is strong enough to hold your tooth gems well.

Tooth gems cannot be applied to false teeth including caps, crowns, dentures and veneers. False teeth are smooth and non-porous so tooth gems don't adhere well.

We can only apply gems to real teeth.

No drills. No pain.

We use quality dental products and techniques to apply gems on the tooth surface.

When applied by a professional like Dazzle Teeth, tooth gems do not damage your tooth enamel. The crystals and gold we supply are lead-free and nontoxic. We only use dental grade products that are made for the mouth. This makes them suitable for long term wear, X-rays, MRI scans and ingestion.

Tooth gems can last from months to years. Longevity varies for crystal size and placement. Notably, longevity generally comes down to your aftercare and habits. Tooth gems will last longer if you look after them and follow the aftercare instructions provided at your appointment.

It depends on the type of retainer. Tooth gems can be accommodated with wire retainers but not with clear plastic retainers like Invisalign. If you have a wire retainer, bring this with you to your appointment. Tooth gems are not flat and plastic retainers put pressure on them thus affecting their longevity. Consider the option of getting a new retainer made that can include your tooth gems.

We only apply crystals from our trusted suppliers. These are premium lead-free crystals suitable for tooth gems made in Austria.

We stock crystals in many sizes, colours and shapes.

We also stock shaped Yellow Gold and White Gold pieces.

Sorry no, we can only apply our crystals and gold to guarantee they are genuinely lead-free and safe for the mouth. These are sourced from trusted suppliers for your safety.

Yes! Your friend is welcome to come to the appointment. If you would both like to get tooth gems simply book two appointments next to each other on the same day.

Don't eat for two hours after your appointment.

For the next 12 hours eat soft food, on the opposite side of your mouth.

Don't brush your tooth gem for 12 hours.

You may drink, kiss and smoke immediately afterwards.

No, we do not remove tooth gems or the dental composite that was used to apply your tooth gem. With time this will weaken and fall off the tooth. Or you can ask a dentist or hygienist to have this cleaned off at your next appointment. We recommend Floss Oral Hygiene NZ - Our partnered hygienist.

Yes, we would love to add a bit more excitement and sparkle to your event. We have previously worked in markets, private parties, music festivals and conventions.

Contact us and let us know what you have in mind. It is best to give us as much notice as possible to secure an event booking.

Yes, you can whiten your teeth with tooth gems. It is recommended to whiten your teeth before getting tooth gems as the area under the gem will not be affected by whitening. We also can't anticipate how whitening products would affect the tooth gems retention so please wait at least 14 days before whitening after receiving tooth gems.

Dazzle Teeth does not stock opal tooth gems. This is because we aim for high retention and only use jewellery that can withstand being in the mouth. The opal tooth gems you see online are made from acrylic. If you have ever had an acrylic key ring, you'll know it gets scratched and damaged in your bag, the same would happen in your mouth. For this reason, Dazzle Teeth instead stocks an opal colored crystal that is safe and can withstand being in the mouth.
