Frequently asked questions
We want to be honest with you, 100% transparency when it comes to our treatments. Below are some questions we get asked regularly, but if you feel we didnβt answer yours, send us a message and we will get back to you!
How Does it Work?
The process is the same as braces, we clean the tooth, protect the enamel, and then using adhesive, we apply the crystal or gold piece of your choice.
Does it Hurt?
No way josè! There are no drills, no holes, no pain & no problem!
Is it Super Glued On?
HELL NO! Sure back in the 90βs you might go to your local nail shop and they would apply a cheap crystal with nail glue, but not us! There is no super glue, nail glue, no more nails or gorilla glue in sight! The adhesive used is dental grade, the same used to put your train track braces on, it completely safe!
How old do you have to be?
You must be over the age of 18 to have the treatment done, or 16 with a present guardians consent, this must be a parent or legal guardian. They must also both have a photographic ID with the same surname or proof of legal guardianship such as a copy of a birth certificate.
How Long Does it Last?
As long as you want it to! We use the top-quality dental-grade products on the market that have been tried and tested to ensure longevity. We like to recommend anywhere from a couple of months to a couple of years (however we find them last much longer than that) as long as youβre looking after your new shiny baby!
Is it Reversible?
Totally, we understand you like to change up your style; the same way you might change your hair or piercings, Crystal Canine is completely reversible with ZERO damage. Simply go to your local dentist or hygienist for safe removal. Just ask for a scale and polish, this painless treatment will clean your tooth and itβll be like nothing was ever there.
I Have Veneers, Can I Still Get One?
Unfortunately, tooth gems wonβt stay very long term on veneers or false teeth, if for example, you have veneerβs on your front teeth, but not the others, we can apply them onto your natural teeth.
What Products Are Used?
At Crystal Canine, we care about your teeth and just wanna enhance your smile! We use the best dental products on the market, genuine lead-free crystals, 22k gold, white gold, and .1 CT diamonds!
What If I Lose My Tooth Gem? Will I Swallow It?
In all honesty, maybe! But donβt stress, all the products we use are totally safe to be in your mouth, if you lose a gem, itβll just come out the other side, if you have any product left on your tooth, you can have this removed super easily and quickly with a scale and polish at your local dentist or hygienist.
I'm Not Sure What I Want?
Donβt sweat, we got you, book a consultation appointment to see our selection of gold & white gold, or look at our crystal menu and displays in person! Photos honestly donβt do our wide selection justice.
WHAT ABOUT BRUSHING MY TEETH?
Keep up with your regular oral hygiene, brush at least twice a day, floss and visit your hygienist like usual! Tooth gems wonβt affect your ability to brush your teeth as your tooth is painted with a protective barrier to protect the enamel and prevent plaque build-up. Just like your braces being on for years without a problem, your gem will be the same.
We recommend using a dense soft bristle toothbrush to ensure the plastic prongs of hard brushes donβt cause trauma to the tooth gem. You can purchase one at your appointment if you donβt own one.
What Gold Pieces Do You Have in Stock?
We have the Europeβs largest selection of gold, hundreds of tiny pieces in both solid gold and white gold. If you want something specific, send us a message and it can be ordered in just for you. We can do everything from old English letters, star signs, brand logos, and more.
Are You a Dentist?
Iβm not, Iβm only qualified to safely apply your tooth gems. I wonβt remove them and canβt help if you have a toothache!
