Tooth Gems

- Have a rough idea of the gems you’ll want and the placement. I’ll suggest an alternative if I’m unable to do it based on your bite type and anatomy.

- Gems can’t be placed on Veneers or Composite Bonding, only natural teeth, so keep this in mind.

- You won’t be able to eat for 2 hours after your appointment, so make sure you’ve had some food before coming in. Drinking, smoking and kissing is fine to do immediately after though.

- It’s best to brush your teeth before getting your gems on as you won’t be able to brush them for 12 hours. (There’s a restroom if you want to do it just before)

- The service itself isn’t very long, but the consultation before can be, so have a few ideas ready.

- Applying tooth gems is pain free. You will be aware they’re there for the first few days, but you’ll soon become accustomed to them.

- I will be taking photos of your stunning new gems at the end of your appointment, so bring a touch up of make up if you want.

- There’s some key aftercare rituals you’ll need to follow. I’ll send you a follow up aftercare email so you’ll have it to refer back to.

- No eating for 2 hours, then try to have only soft foods for the following 12 hours (pasta, rice, jelly etc)

- Avoid hard foods, think apples, corn on the cobs, for as long as you want the gems to last.

- If you want to remove your gems, you can go to your dentist and get a scale and polish.

- Gems can last anywhere between 1 month - a year +

- I have one use disposables for Tooth Gems that are stored in a sealed container & disposed of at the end of the appointment.

- I don’t use any tools that can’t be correctly disinfected, this means no mouth guards or gem craft pens are in sight!

- All work surfaces are disinfected & cleaned between each client using Dentist grade Caviwipes. This includes any non disposables for Tooth Gems to avoid any potential cross contamination.

- The studio is hoovered & mopped every evening to minimise dust build up, I also work with the window open and an air purifier permanently switched on to keep the air fresh & clean.
