What Are Tooth Gems?

Tooth gems are small decorative crystals bonded to a tooth surface using a dental-grade adhesive as a non-invasive cosmetic enhancement. The procedure requires no drilling, no injections and no permanent alteration of the tooth structure. When applied correctly by a trained professional, tooth gems are enamel-safe and a dental professional can remove them without causing permanent damage.

The application process involves cleaning and preparing the enamel, applying a dental-safe bonding composite, positioning the gem and curing the bond with an LED light, similar to how orthodontic brackets are attached. Crystal Clear and Crystal AB are the most requested styles, with heart, navette and shaped crystals increasingly popular alongside the classic round flatback.

Why Use Glass Crystal for Tooth Gems?

Premium glass crystal flatbacks from Swarovski, Serinity and Preciosa are the professional standard for tooth gem application. Precision-cut facets deliver maximum light refraction for brilliant sparkle. Consistent sizing ensures a reliable fit within the bonding composite. Lead-free, REACH-compliant construction makes them safe for use in contact with the oral environment when applied by a trained tooth gem professional. Genuine glass crystal tooth gems maintain their brilliance throughout the lifespan of the gem in a way that plastic or acrylic imitations cannot.

Which Brand Is Right for You?

All three brands are genuine glass crystal flatbacks suitable for professional tooth gem application, with different positioning across the premium tier.

What Size Tooth Gems Are Most Popular?

All crystals in this collection use the SS (stone size) system. SS3 (1.3mm) and SS5 (1.8mm) are the most popular sizes, sitting flush against the tooth surface and providing maximum sparkle without interfering with the bite or causing discomfort. SS7 (2.2mm) works well as a slightly larger statement gem on front teeth with more surface area. Sizes above SS7 are generally not recommended for tooth gem application due to weight and retention considerations.

For shaped gems, navette, heart and star shapes are particularly popular, adding a distinctive design element. Shaped gems are measured by width and height rather than SS size. Always select a size appropriate to the individual tooth anatomy and placement location.

Popular Tooth Gem Styles

Crystal Clear is consistently the most requested style, delivering brilliant sparkle with a clean, minimalist look that complements any smile. Crystal Clear suits every tooth shade and skin tone, making it the safest default choice for new clients.

Crystal AB delivers a rainbow iridescent shimmer that shifts colour under different lighting conditions, making it a popular choice for clients wanting maximum visual impact. AB effects in SS5 and SS7 are among the most frequently requested sizes.

Coloured gems allow clients to personalise their look. The most popular colours are Sapphire Blue, Emerald, Rose Pink and Amethyst. Note that coloured gems can visually affect the appearance of tooth shade in certain lighting conditions, which is worth discussing with clients during consultation. Shaped crystals including hearts, navettes and specialty cuts add a playful or statement element and are growing in popularity for multi-gem designs.

Professional Application

Tooth gem application should be carried out by a trained tooth gem professional, dental aesthetics specialist or qualified dental practitioner using dental-grade materials. Only bonding composites and adhesives designed for intraoral use should be used. Never use nail glue, standard jewellery adhesive or any non-dental product for tooth gem application.

The procedure is non-invasive and reversible, typically taking 30 minutes or less per gem. The practitioner cleans and prepares the tooth surface, applies a small amount of specialist dental adhesive (typically a flowable composite resin), positions the gem precisely using tooth gem tools, and cures the adhesive with a dental LED light. Properly applied tooth gems typically last between 6 months and several years depending on bite, diet and the adhesive used.

Bluestreak Crystals supplies tooth gem crystals to qualified professionals; we do not provide at-home tooth gem application instructions or kits. For training and certification in tooth gem application, consult an accredited tooth gem training provider in your region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Swarovski crystals safe for tooth gems? ▾

Yes. Genuine Swarovski flatback crystals are lead-free, REACH-compliant glass crystal, suitable for use in contact with the oral environment when applied with dental-grade bonding composite by a trained technician. Swarovski has been the industry standard for tooth gem application for over 20 years.

What size Swarovski crystals are best for tooth gems? ▾

SS3 (1.3mm) and SS5 (1.8mm) are the most popular sizes for tooth gem application, offering maximum sparkle without interfering with the bite. SS7 (2.2mm) works for statement placements on larger front teeth. Sizes above SS7 are not generally recommended due to weight and retention concerns.

What's the difference between Swarovski, Serinity and Preciosa tooth gem crystals? ▾

All three are professional-grade glass crystal flatbacks suitable for tooth gem application. Swarovski (Austrian, Xirius cut) is the original premium brand. Serinity (Austrian, our own brand) matches Swarovski's specifications at around 10% lower pricing. Preciosa MAXIMA (Czech, Chaton Rose Maxima cut) offers excellent brilliance with a strong colour range. Professional outcomes are comparable across all three.

How long do tooth gems last? ▾

Professionally applied tooth gems typically last between 6 months and 2 years, though many clients report gems lasting longer with good oral hygiene. Longevity depends on the quality of the bonding composite, the technician's application technique, the placement on the tooth, and the client's eating and brushing habits. Gems on smoother enamel surfaces and away from biting edges generally last longest.

How quickly are tooth gem orders dispatched? ▾

The majority of stocked items dispatch same or next working day from our Buckinghamshire warehouse. Express delivery to the US typically takes 2 to 5 working days.

Are Bluestreak's Swarovski tooth gems genuine? ▾

Yes. As an official Swarovski Authorised Distribution Partner, every Swarovski crystal we sell is sourced directly from Swarovski Wattens, Austria. This is the only route to guaranteed authentic Swarovski crystals.

Can I use nail glue for tooth gems? ▾

No. Tooth gem application must only ever use dental-grade bonding composite designed for intraoral use. Nail glue, jewellery adhesive, and other non-dental adhesives are not safe for use in the mouth and can damage tooth enamel. Always use dental-grade materials applied by a trained technician.

Do you offer trade discounts on tooth gem crystals? ▾

Yes. Established tooth gem professionals can apply for a trade discount across Swarovski, Serinity, and Preciosa orders. Apply for a trade discount to access tiered pricing on bulk and repeat orders.
