How
does the jewel sparkle?
DecoDent
jewels are real glass crystals, made in Germany. Their flat
back is surfaced with a special coat to create a sparkle and
shine like a diamond.
How
long will the tooth jewel last?
A Tooth
jewel applied according to our instructions on a natural tooth
will stay on until you decide to have it removed again. Based
on our experience it will certainly stay on for 6 months up
to a few years.
Can
I feel the DecoDent jewel on my tooth?
DecoDent
jewels are only 0.4mm or 0.9mm thick and 1.8mm or 2.6mm in
diameter. Initially something on your tooth will feel different,
but a few days after the application you will get used to
the new feeling.
Will
the jewel harm my tooth?
No! The
jewel is bonded to the enamel like a orthodontic bracket or
a filling to your front tooth, without any drilling or pain.
The procedure and removal can be compared to the placement
and removal of orthodontic brackets. When it is removed it
it simply popped off and the tooth will be polished to remove
any remaining bonding material.
Does
the jewel impede brushing?
No, the
presence of the gem will not make any difference regarding
dental hygiene. However, it is recommended not to use an electric
tooth brush for the first 24 hours after the jewel has been
attached.
Can
I still have my teeth cleaned by my dentist/hygienist?
Yes, you
can still have your teeth cleaned by a professional. DecoDent
jewelry will not cause a problem for the hygienist cleaning
your teeth. The area underneath the jewel is sealed like a
filling and will not let in any bacteria. The hygienist can
easily polish on top and around the jewel with a soft point.
