Tooth Jewelries
Sometimes, enhancing your smile is not about changing your teeth but adding a subtle detail that reflects your personality. Tooth jewellery offers a safe and stylish way to introduce a small sparkle to your smile. Our dentist in Polokwane provides professionally placed tooth jewellery designed to be easy to maintain.
What is tooth jewellery?
Tooth jewellery is a small decorative accessory bonded to the front surface of a tooth. It is designed purely for aesthetic enhancement and does not alter the structure of the tooth when applied correctly.
Jewellery options may include:
- Gold or silver designs
- Platinum accents
- Small gems or crystals
Most pieces are discreet, although more distinctive designs are also available depending on your preference.
How is tooth jewellery applied?
The procedure for bonding tooth jewellery is similar to that of bonding orthodontic brackets. The jewellery is first bonded to a tooth-coloured resin that is then bonded to the tooth. The bonding process is painless and does not damage the tooth enamel.
Our dentist in Polokwane ensures the placement is secure, so that the jewellery sits comfortably and complements your smile naturally.
Is tooth jewellery safe for your teeth?
When placed professionally, tooth jewellery is considered safe. It is important that the procedure is carried out in a clinical setting to ensure proper bonding and hygiene standards.
Good oral hygiene remains essential. Brushing and flossing should continue as normal, with gentle care around the jewellery to maintain both the decoration and your natural tooth surface.
How long does tooth jewellery last?
The longevity of tooth jewellery depends on lifestyle habits and oral care. With proper maintenance, it can remain securely bonded for an extended period. If you decide to remove it, our dentist in Polokwane can do so safely without harming your enamel.
