Add Sparkle to Your Smile
At Ogilvie Dental, Dr. Kohila Kandasamy & Associates offer professional tooth gem application to add a dazzling sparkle to your smile. Tooth gems are a fun, non-invasive cosmetic enhancement that lets you express your unique style.
Gems are bonded to the enamel with the same adhesive used for orthodontic brackets, so no hole is drilled and the tooth is not altered. They can be taken off later and the surface polished. The main thing to know is that plaque collects around the edge of a gem, so it needs careful brushing.
What Are Tooth Gems?
Tooth gems are small, decorative crystalline stones or precious materials that are adhered to the surface of teeth using dental-grade adhesive. They are:
- No drilling — the enamel is not cut
- Temporary and reversible
- Available in various colors and designs
- Applied in a single short visit, with no anaesthetic needed
- Durable with proper care
