Tooth gems – also known as tooth jewelry or tooth diamonds – are the trend for a unique smile with a little extra sparkle. But if you want a tooth jewel yourself, the question soon arises:
"Should I place it myself or is it better to have it done?"
In this blog, we compare both options so that you can choose what suits you best with peace of mind.
✨ Place a tooth jewel yourself with a kit
Nowadays, you can easily place your own tooth gem with a complete tooth gem kit. These kits contain everything you need, including adhesive, an applicator, and of course the tooth jewelry itself.
✅ Benefits of doing it yourself:
- Budget-friendly: A tooth jewel kit often costs less than one salon visit
- Easy & fast: With a good manual, it's done in 10-15 minutes
- Flexible: You choose the jewelry, the location, and when to apply it
- Reusable: Often, there is enough in the kit for multiple applications
⚠️ Points of attention:
- Hygiene is important. Make sure to brush your teeth well and wash your hands before you start
- Read the instructions carefully. Incorrect placement can cause it to stay on for a shorter time
💎 Have a tooth jewel placed in a salon
Professionals also offer the application of tooth jewelry, often with special equipment.
✅ Benefits of having it done:
- Professional experience: A salon knows exactly what they are doing
- No worries about mistakes: You don't have to do anything yourself
- Suitable for special occasions such as weddings or photo shoots
⚠️ Disadvantages:
- More expensive than doing it yourself – having one tooth jewel installed often costs more than a complete kit
- Less flexible – you need to make an appointment and have less freedom of choice in style or shape
💡 What is the best choice?
It depends on your preference. Do you want convenience and professional help? Then go to a salon. Do you want to save money, choose for yourself, and be able to repeat it whenever you want? Then a tooth jewel kit is ideal.
Many people start on their own and discover that it is easier than expected.
