Archaeologists are excavating the most ancient civilizations all over the world. And they often find confirmation of the fact that in ancient times people decorated their appearance. But they used not only precious necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and pendants. During the process of studying the ancient finds, modern people came to the conclusion that the decoration of teeth was popular among the rich ancient people.
Many centuries have passed, but the fashion for teeth decoration with precious stones and rhinestones has always remained. People insert sparkling gems to stand out and emphasize their image.
Today, professional dentists with higher education and expensive equipment are engaged in teeth decoration. They fix stones, like jewelers, in the teeth of their fashion customers. Transparent cut diamonds, emeralds, cubic zirconias, sapphires, and other gems are especially popular for decorating teeth.
Due to the cut, a stone inserted into the tooth causes a special shine that is easily noticed by others. The special cut of the stone gives the decoration extraordinary expressiveness and beauty.
How is jewelry attached to the teeth?
Everyone should understand that in order to install the jewel, the tooth will have to be drilled. And this is the biggest and most unpleasant minus of the procedure. However, there are cases when the front tooth has some defect and then you can drill it without hesitation and install a sparkling stone.
If you have healthy beautiful teeth, then you’d better not drill and spoil them. The most ideal option is to install a diamond into the dental crown. Also, there is another way not to spoil a healthy tooth – you can use crystal jewelry. They are very similar to real diamonds and their installation does not require drilling of teeth.
As for real diamonds, they should be fastened stronger because of the high cost. They are usually interspersed in crowns, carefully soldered into the porcelain mass. This method leaves the tooth surface smooth and beautiful.
Rhinestones for teeth decoration
People who consider the cost of diamonds to be unjustified, prefer to install polished to a mirror shine rhinestones with a beautiful cut. They have low cost and rhinestones are manufactured at the factory using professional equipment and high-tech computer technologies. High-quality rhinestones eliminate the possibility of darkening and losing gloss under the influence of food and alkaline environment in the mouth of a person.
How to fix rhinestones in the teeth without drilling? For these purposes, dentists use a specially designed composite, which is called the bond. It holds tight glittering elements and passes light well. Bond is very similar to the usual nail gel. However, under the influence of an ion lamp, this composition hardens and keeps well. The decoration, installed with the help of a bond, shines very beautifully on a tooth, especially in the rays of light.
Pastes and crystal jewelry are very light, their weight is about 0.1 gram. So they are not noticeable in the mouth and do not cause any discomfort. If the decoration is set qualitatively, then food will not accumulate around it and it will not scratch the lip. The decorated tooth does not require any additional care, just don’t forget to brush your teeth.
Removing the teeth jewelry
If you are tired of the tooth decoration, removing it will not be difficult. Just contact your dentist, and he will carefully remove the rhinestone and the bond. The procedure for installing and removing jewelry is absolutely safe. The tooth enamel will not deteriorate and the health of the tooth will not be in danger.
In cases when you want to remove a diamond implanted into a crown, then everything is much more serious. You will have to either change the crown or restore the old one. This process is more expensive and time-consuming. Such work should be trusted only to a highly qualified specialist because we are talking about the health of the tooth and your appearance.
