DENTAL JEWEL
At Afford 2 Smile Dental Clinic, dental jewels are offered as a non-invasive cosmetic option for patients who want to add a subtle sparkle to their smile—without compromising tooth structure or oral health.
Our approach to dental jewels is carefully assessed, hygienic, and fully reversible, ensuring the tooth enamel remains protected at all times.
What Is a Dental Jewel?
A dental jewel is a small decorative crystal or gem that is bonded to the surface of a natural tooth using dental-grade adhesive. No drilling or permanent alteration of the tooth is required.
From a clinical perspective, a properly applied dental jewel:
- Does not damage tooth enamel
- Is fully removable
- Does not interfere with normal tooth function
- Can be worn temporarily or longer-term
Placement is always performed under controlled clinical conditions.
A Safety-First, Professional Approach
Although dental jewels are cosmetic, correct technique is essential to protect enamel and gum health.
Before placement, we assess:
- Tooth and enamel condition
- Gum health
- Tooth position and bite
- Suitability for bonding
Dental jewels are only placed on healthy, natural teeth and avoided on compromised surfaces.
What to Expect During Dental Jewel Placement
The procedure is quick, painless, and completed in a single visit. The process typically includes:
Cleaning and preparation of the tooth surface
Careful positioning of the jewel
Secure bonding using dental-grade materials
Final checks to ensure comfort and stability
The procedure does not require anaesthetic and causes no discomfort.
How Long Does a Dental Jewel Last?
The longevity of a dental jewel varies depending on:
- Oral hygiene habits
- Tooth position
- Natural wear and tear
Some patients choose to wear a dental jewel temporarily, while others enjoy it for longer periods. Removal can be performed safely at any time without damaging the tooth.
Caring for a Dental Jewel
Maintaining a dental jewel is simple and fits easily into your normal oral hygiene routine.
We recommend:
- Brushing and flossing as usual
- Avoiding picking or biting on the jewel
- Attending regular dental check-ups
Proper care helps keep both the jewel and the tooth surface clean and healthy.
