How does the jewel sparkle?
Our
Crystal teeth jewels are glass crystals, made in Germany.
Their flat back is surfaced with a special coating to create
a sparkle and shine like a diamond.
How long will the tooth jewel last?
A Tooth jewel applied according to our instructions on a natural tooth will stay on until you decide to have it removed again. Based on our experience it will certainly stay on for 6 months up to a few years.
Can I feel the DecoDent jewel on my tooth?
DecoDent
jewels are only 0.4mm or 0.9mm thick and 1.8mm to 3mm in diameter.
Initially something on your tooth will feel different, but
a few days after the application you will get used to the
new feeling.
Will the jewel harm my tooth?
No! The jewel is bonded to the enamel like a orthodontic bracket or a filling to your front tooth, without any drilling or pain. The procedure and removal can be compared to the placement and removal of orthodontic brackets. When it is removed it it simply popped off and the tooth will be polished to remove any remaining bonding material.
Does the jewel impede brushing?
No, the presence of the gem will not make any difference regarding dental hygiene. However, it is recommended not to use an electric tooth brush for the first 24 hours after the jewel has been attached.
What
if the jewel falls off and I swallow it?
The jewels
are tiny glass crystals or gold. They have no sharp edges.
It will basically come out "the natural way" the
same as it went inside your body.
Can
I still have my teeth cleaned by my dentist/hygienist?
Yes, you
can and should still have your teeth cleaned by a professional.
DecoDent jewelry will not cause a problem for the hygienist
cleaning your teeth. The area underneath the jewel is sealed
like a filling and will not let in any bacteria. The hygienist
can easily polish on top and around the jewel with a soft
point.
