WANNA flash that beautiful smile without any inhibitions? You need more than just perfect pearly whites; there are other innovative, affordable and incredibly funky xways to sparkle and dazzle this season. We’re talking dental jewellery — a sure-shot way to have the spotlight on yourself.
Dental jewel is a special decoration (diamond or other stones such as zirconia) which can be attached to your teeth.
The process is completely painless and does not require any anesthesia.
We provide you with all instructions concerning the care of dental jewels, the most important being perfect oral hygiene. Since the jewel is attached to the tooth with an adhesive, it is possible to remove or change it without side-effects. The life span of the dental jewel depends on the stress that is put on the tooth and the overall dental care.
There is a wide range of dental jewellery to choose from, though not many are in vogue here in India. Some of the most popular international brands are Lzi, Skyce (from Vivadent) and smile gems (Swarovski stones for those with deep pockets). Skyce, the most popular brand of dental jewellery, offers sparkler variations like ‘Crystal’ and ‘Sapphire blue’ stones, though white ones are preferred more since they are not as obvious as the others.
Apart from a temporary sensitivity of the tooth, which is triggered by the acid, nothing goes wrong during the treatment. But if you don’t maintain oral hygiene, complications could arise. Every piece of dental jewellery creates an ideal niche for bacteria, which is something dentists can’t do much about. If you don’t brush your teeth carefully enough, your entire tooth could fall victim to caries. To avoid such problems, I suggest you have your dental jewellery applied and removed only by a qualified dentist.
