It is a completely appearance-oriented dental aesthetics application. Dental jewellery, which has been an application for years, is especially common among celebrities. In recent years, it has also attracted the attention of people other than celebrities.
How to Apply Dental Jewellery (Grillz)?
There are certain steps to be followed when applying dental jewellery / Grillz. It is possible to prefer different methods based on the structure of each tooth. This requires assistance of a dentist. The most important criterion in treatment process are:

Therefore, the steps to be followed when wearing dental jewellery are as follows:
- In Grillz application, firstly, it is determined to which teeth it will be applied.
- As per person’s request, dental impressions of the teeth are taken.

What Material Is Grillz Made Of?

It is made for purely aesthetic purposes and can be fabricated in different forms. In dental jewellery application, grillz can be added to a single tooth or more. The material of the jewellery, with many different options for design, can be selected optionally. Some people may prefer jewellery and some may prefer more cost-effective metal materials. Among the most common materials are gold, silver and other precious metals which are unhazardous.
What are Grillz Designs?
Dental jewellery (grillz) designs have recently gained popularity and reached a wide audience. In this application, which is one of the cosmetic dentistry applications and known as grillz, a jewel is worn on the teeth. To complete the design of the pieces called grillz, the dentist takes digital impressions from inside the mouth and obtains the dimensions of the teeth. In addition, dental jewellery that best suits the structure of the tooth can be designed with the dental impressions. Grillz designs can be completed after grillz analyses are made on the models created. Jewellery is selected according to the demands and preferences of the person who has this application.
The substrate material of the jewellery is completely tailor-made and specially designed. Gold, silver and similar metals are mostly preferred in dental jewellery design, which is becoming increasingly common in cosmetic dentistry. How many teeth the Grillz dental jewellery will be applied on varies from person to person.
Does dental jewellery fall off over time?
Dental jewellery (grillz) mounted on the tooth surface can be deformed during chewing movements. There is also the possibility of falling from the tooth structure in cases of excessive pressure or strain. However, this fall does not cause any damage to the tooth. In such cases, the dentist reattaches the dental jewellery with special adhesives.
Does Dental Jewellery Damage Teeth?
Precious stones or metals used as dental crystals are successfully applied in dental jewellery (grillz) applications. Many different designs are available in this application. Jewellery does not cause any problems in daily oral and dental care and does not harm the teeth. It also does not require special care. However, in the consumption of extremely hard foods, the dental jewellery may break and dislodge and there is a risk of swallowing. Since this situation does not seriously threaten health, there is no problem in the use of dental jewellery.
