Tooth Jewels
A little detail to make your smile your own.
Tooth jewels are small decorative gems bonded to the surface of a tooth. Your appointment includes selecting your jewel, choosing its position and assessing the tooth before it is professionally bonded.
Suitability depends on the condition of the tooth and your oral health. Placement and care are discussed at your appointment.

TOOTH JEWELS
Decorative gems for your teeth.
A tooth jewel is a small decorative gem bonded to the enamel surface using dental adhesive — a simple, reversible addition to your smile.
Tooth jewels come in a range of designs, sizes and colours and are positioned on the tooth you choose. They are placed in a single appointment using the same bonding materials used in everyday dental procedures.
The jewel sits on the outer enamel surface and does not require any tooth preparation or drilling. It can be professionally removed at any time without damaging the tooth.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Tooth jewels FAQ.
Questions we are commonly asked about tooth jewel placement at iDental.
Book an Appointment →What is a tooth jewel?
A tooth jewel is a small decorative gem bonded to the enamel surface of a tooth using dental adhesive. It is a cosmetic addition to your smile and does not require any drilling or removal of tooth structure.
Will a tooth jewel damage my teeth?
A tooth jewel bonded and removed professionally should not damage the enamel. The adhesive used is the same type used in everyday dental procedures.
It is important to have the jewel placed and removed by a dental professional. Attempting to remove it yourself may cause damage to the tooth surface.
How long does tooth jewel placement take?
Placement is straightforward and is usually completed within a single 30 minute short appointment. Once the tooth is assessed, cleaned and the jewel is bonded, you are ready to go — no downtime is required.
How long does a tooth jewel last?
This varies depending on the position of the jewel, your bite, eating habits and how well you care for it. Jewels in areas of higher contact may dislodge sooner than those in lower-contact positions.
The jewel may be lost over time, and can be replaced easily.
How much does a tooth jewel cost?
The complete tooth jewel process — including consultation, assessment, placement and one jewel — starts from $180.
This fee covers the full appointment. We will confirm the cost for your individual appointment when you book.
Can I choose any tooth for my jewel?
We will discuss placement options with you at your appointment. The jewel can be positioned on most visible teeth, and we will consider the condition of the tooth and your bite before confirming the best location.
Certain positions may carry a higher risk of the jewel dislodging — we will explain this as part of the consultation.
How do I care for my tooth jewel?
Continue to brush and floss as normal, taking care around the jewel. Avoid biting on very hard foods with the jewelled tooth and be mindful that the gem can accumulate plaque around its edges if not cleaned thoroughly.
If the jewel feels loose or sharp at any point, contact us rather than trying to remove it yourself.
Can a tooth jewel be removed?
Yes. A tooth jewel can be professionally removed at any time. The process is straightforward and, when done professionally, should leave the enamel surface undamaged.
There is no permanent commitment — if you decide you no longer want the jewel, simply contact us to arrange removal.
