Step-by-Step Application Process
The tooth gems process is straightforward but requires skill and attention to detail. Here’s how professionals apply tooth gems:
Consultation and Selection
The process begins with a consultation where you choose the gem style, size, and placement. Tooth gems come in various colors and shapes, from simple crystals to small metallic designs. The technician will assess your teeth to ensure they are healthy and suitable for application.
Cleaning the Tooth Surface
Before applying the gem, the tooth surface must be thoroughly cleaned. The technician uses a dental-grade cleaning solution or polishing paste to remove plaque and oils. This step ensures the gem adheres properly.
Drying the Tooth
The tooth is dried completely using air or cotton rolls. Moisture can prevent the adhesive from bonding well, so this step is crucial.
Applying the Adhesive
A special dental adhesive, safe for use in the mouth, is applied to the tooth surface. This adhesive is designed to hold the gem securely without damaging the enamel.
Placing the Gem
Using precision tools, the technician carefully places the gem onto the adhesive. Positioning is important for both aesthetics and comfort.
Curing the Adhesive
A curing light is used to harden the adhesive quickly. This light activates the bonding agent, securing the gem in place within seconds.
Final Check and Adjustments
The technician checks the gem’s placement and ensures there are no sharp edges or discomfort. Any necessary adjustments are made before you leave.
This professional tooth gem procedure typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes per gem, depending on placement and number of gems.
Materials Used in Professional Application
Professional tooth gems application uses materials that are safe and designed for dental use:
Dental-Grade Adhesive: This bonding agent is strong but gentle on enamel. It’s similar to what dentists use for braces or dental repairs.
Tooth Gems: Made from crystals, rhinestones, or small metal pieces, these gems are lightweight and designed to last.
Curing Light: A blue LED light that quickly hardens the adhesive.
Cleaning Agents: Polishing pastes and alcohol wipes to prepare the tooth surface.
Using these materials ensures the gem stays in place without harming your teeth.
How Long the Procedure Takes
The entire tooth gems process usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes per gem. If you want multiple gems, the time will increase accordingly. The procedure is quick enough to fit into a lunch break or a short appointment, making it convenient for most clients.
Does It Hurt?
The tooth gems application is painless. Since the process only involves the tooth surface and no drilling or injections, you should not feel any discomfort. Some people may experience slight pressure when the gem is placed, but it is not painful. If you have sensitive teeth, mention this during your consultation so the technician can take extra care.
What to Expect After Application
After your tooth gem is applied, you can expect:
Immediate Sparkle: The gem will shine instantly, adding a unique touch to your smile.
No Special Care Needed: You can brush and floss normally, but avoid harsh scrubbing on the gem.
Temporary Placement: Tooth gems are semi-permanent and can last from several weeks to a few months depending on care.
Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: To keep the gem secure, avoid biting into hard foods or sticky candies that could dislodge it.
Removal: When you want to remove the gem, a professional can safely take it off without damaging your tooth.
