Gold Tooth Jewellery

Choosing Gold Tooth Gems: gold content, colour & design

With Gold Tooth Gems, shape is not the only factor that determines the final appearance. Karat, gold colour, size, contact area and the available tooth surface all play a role when choosing a suitable piece of tooth jewellery.

Considering these characteristics together makes it easier to choose between 18K yellow gold, 22K yellow gold and 18K white gold rather than selecting a design based solely on how the loose piece looks.

What do 18K and 22K gold mean?

Karat indicates how much gold an alloy contains. It does not by itself determine which Tooth Gem is the best choice for a client or design. Shape, colour, size and positioning remain equally important when selecting the final piece.

Yellow gold or white gold?

Yellow gold has the familiar warm gold colour and is available in this collection in both 18K and 22K. X-treme Smile® white gold Tooth Gems are made in 18K gold and have a cooler, lighter appearance.

White gold, like yellow gold, is a gold alloy. The exact composition of the other alloying metals can vary between products or manufacturers. Always refer to the specifications of the individual piece when the exact material composition is relevant.

Shape, size & contact area

Two Gold Tooth Gems with approximately the same outer dimensions can still sit differently on the tooth. This is because the shape and the part of the jewellery that actually contacts the tooth surface can vary from one design to another.

Before placement, consider not only how large the piece appears, but also how the shape fits within the available tooth surface, which orientation best suits the design and how the contact area aligns with the selected position.

Combining Gold Tooth Gems with dental crystals

A gold Tooth Gem can be used as a standalone accent or incorporated into a larger tooth gem design. A gold symbol can form the central element, while round crystals or smaller micro-elements can be used to develop the composition further.

Consider the design as a whole when combining different elements. Gold colour, crystal colour, size, shape, direction and spacing all influence whether the individual elements work visually as one composition.

Gold Tooth Gem or grill?

A Gold Tooth Gem is a small individual piece of tooth jewellery placed as a decorative element on part of the tooth surface. A grill is a different type of tooth jewellery that covers a larger part of one or more teeth. The products in this category are individual Gold Tooth Gems, not grills.

Professional use of gold tooth jewellery

Gold Tooth Gems vary in shape, size and contact area. The position and orientation should therefore be planned carefully in advance, and the way the selected design sits on the tooth should be assessed before bonding begins.

Professional treatment also requires appropriate product knowledge, isolation, bonding, positioning, curing, hygiene and aftercare. The complete working method belongs in professional training and educational content rather than on this product category page.
